Nehemiah 11:19

19 And the porters; Acub, Telamin, and their brethren, a hundred and seventy-two.

Psalms 84:10

10 (83:10) For one day in thy courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.

Isaiah 62:6-10

6 And on thy walls, O Jerusalem, have I set watchmen all day and all night, who shall never cease making mention of the Lord. 7 For there is none like you, when he shall have established, and made Jerusalem a praise on the earth. 8 For the Lord has sworn by his glory, and by the might of his arm, I will no more give thy corn and thy provisions to thine enemies; nor shall strangers any more drink thy wine, for which thou has laboured. 9 But they that have gathered them shall eat them, and they shall praise the Lord; and they that have gathered the grapes shall drink thereof in my holy courts. 10 Go through my gates, and make a way for my people; and cast the stones out of the way; lift up a standard for the Gentiles.
