Porters: Their Posts Were Determined by Lot

Source: Nav

1 Chronicles 24:31 As their brothers the descendants of Aaron did, they also cast lots in the presence of King David and of Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the families of the priests and Levites—the family heads and their younger brothers alike.
1 Chronicles 26:13–19 They cast lots for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike. / The lot for the East Gate fell to Shelemiah. Then lots were cast for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and the lot for the North Gate fell to him. / The lot for the South Gate fell to Obed-edom, and the lot for the storehouses to his sons.
