Levites: Lodged in the Chambers of the Temple

They would spend the night stationed around the house of God, because they were responsible for guarding it and opening it every morning.

Those who were musicians, the heads of Levite families, stayed in the temple chambers and were exempt from other duties because they were on duty day and night.

Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, were two chambers, one beside the north gate and facing south, and another beside the south gate and facing north.
