1 Concerning the divisions of
the porters: Of the Korhites was Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons
of Asaph.
2 And the sons of Meshelemiah were,
Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the
fourth,
3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth,
Elioenai the seventh.
4 Moreover the sons of Obededom were,
Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the
fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth,
5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh,
Peulthai the eighth: for God blessed him.
6 Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons
born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they were
mighty men of valour.
7 The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and
Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren were strong men, Elihu, and
Semachiah.
8 All these of the sons of Obededom: they
and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were
threescore and two of Obededom.
9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren,
strong men, eighteen.
10 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari,
had sons; Simri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his
father made him the chief;)
11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third,
Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.
12 Among these were the divisions
of the porters, even among the chief men, having wards one against
another, to minister in the house of the LORD.
13 And they cast lots, as well the small
as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.
14 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah.
Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came
out northward.
15 To Obededom southward; and to his sons
the house of Asuppim.
16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came
forth westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up,
ward against ward.
17 Eastward were six Levites,
northward four a day, southward four a day, and toward Asuppim two and
two.
18 At Parbar westward, four at the
causeway, and two at Parbar.
19 These are the divisions of the
porters among the sons of Kore, and among the sons of Merari.
20 And of the Levites, Ahijah
was over the treasures of the house of God, and over the treasures of the
dedicated things.
21 As concerning the sons of
Laadan; the sons of the Gershonite Laadan, chief fathers, even of Laadan
the Gershonite, were Jehieli.
22 The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel
his brother, which were over the treasures of the house of the LORD.
23 Of the Amramites, and the
Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites:
24 And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son
of Moses, was ruler of the treasures.
25 And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah
his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and
Shelomith his son.
26 Which Shelomith and his brethren were
over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the
chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the
host, had dedicated.
27 Out of the spoils won in battles did
they dedicate to maintain the house of the LORD.
28 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul
the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had
dedicated; and whosoever had dedicated any thing, it was under the
hand of Shelomith, and of his brethren.
29 Of the Izharites,
Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward business over Israel, for
officers and judges.
30 And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah
and his brethren, men of valour, a thousand and seven hundred, were
officers among them of Israel on this side Jordan westward in all the business
of the LORD, and in the service of the king.
31 Among the Hebronites was Jerijah
the chief, even among the Hebronites, according to the generations of his
fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought for, and
there were found among them mighty men of valour at Jazer of Gilead.
32 And his brethren, men of valour, were
two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David made rulers over
the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for every matter
pertaining to God, and affairs of the king.
