9:18 Who hitherto [waited] in the {e} king's gate eastward: they

     of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the
     Korahites, [were] over the work of the service, keepers of
     the gates of the {f} tabernacle: and their fathers, [being]
     over the host of the LORD, [were] keepers of the entry.

     (f) Their charge was that no one should enter those places,
         which were only appointed for the priests to minister
         in.

     (i) But were continually occupied in singing praises to
         God.
