1 Chronicles 26:16

¹⁴And the lot of the east gates fell to Shelemiah, and Zechariah: the sons of Soaz cast lots for Melchias, and the lot came out northward.

¹⁵To Obed-edom they gave by lot the south, opposite the house of Esephim.

— 1 Chronicles 26:16 —

¹⁷Eastward were six watchmen in the day; northward four by the day; southward four by the day; and two at the Esephim,

¹⁸to relieve guard, also for Hosah westward after the chamber gate, three. There was a ward over against the ward of the ascent eastward, six men in a day, and four for the north, and four for the south, and at the Esephim two to relieve guard, and four by the west, and two to relieve guard at the pathway.
