Kore

Meaning: partridge

This was the name of 2 Biblical men.

1. Kore, a Levite and temple-warder of the Korahites, the son of Asaph

   He was father of Shallum and Meshelemiah, temple-porters (1 Chr. 9:19; 26:1).

2. Kore, a Levitical porter at the east gate of the temple (2 Chr. 31:14)

In 1 Chr. 26:19, the word “Kore” should be “Korahites,” as in the Revised King James Version.
