• 1 Chronicles 9:19: Kore is identified as a gatekeeper in the house of the LORD. The verse states, "Shallum son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his relatives from his family, the Korahites, were responsible for guarding the thresholds of the tent, just as their fathers had been responsible for guarding the entrance to the dwelling of the LORD."

• 2 Chronicles 31:14: Kore is mentioned as a Levite in charge of the freewill offerings. The verse reads, "Kore son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the East Gate, was in charge of the freewill offerings to God, distributing the contributions made to the LORD and the consecrated gifts."

The name Kore is associated with the lineage of Korah, indicating a heritage of service and responsibility in the religious life of Israel.
