Sallum, de zoon van Kore, de zoon van Ebjasaf, de zoon van Korach, en zijn broeders uit zijn familie, de Korachieten, gingen over het dienstwerk als deurwachters bij de tabernakel, zoals hun vaderen in het kamp van de HEERE wachters bij de ingang geweest waren.
Wat betekent dit?
This verse describes Shallum and his family, the Korahites, who were responsible for guarding the tabernacle and its gates. Their ancestors also had important roles in serving God.

Imagine Shallum and his family as the friendly guards at a big, special tent. Just like how your parents keep your house safe, Shallum and his family kept this important tent safe. Their grandpas did the same job a long time ago!
