1 Chronicles 9:32

And other of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites,
were over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath
Twelve loaves of which were set every week before the ark upon the shewbread table, and the old ones taken away: now the work of these Levites was to make this shewbread, and get it ready every week to be set upon the table, and which was done not by them, but by priests; under the second temple, the family of Garmu was set over this work ^F1.
