in charge of the articles used in worship
on 1 Chronicles 9:28-34
Some Levites counted the articles whenever they were brought in or taken out, and others kept the flour, wine, oil, frankincense, and spices. Kohathites were responsible for preparing the rows of the showbread every Sabbath. The musicians were exempt from other duties because they were on duty day and night.
This site's exposition
Others were put in charge of the furnishings
Gill explains that these Levites gave out the holy vessels for use and saw them returned. The flour, wine and oil supplied the grain and drink offerings, and frankincense went with the grain offering (Leviticus 2:1). All were kept under guard.
