1 So all Israel were reckoned
by genealogies; and, behold, they were written in the book of the kings
of Israel and Judah, who were carried away to Babylon for their
transgression.
2 Now the first inhabitants that dwelt
in their possessions in their cities were, the Israelites, the priests,
Levites, and the Nethinims.
3 And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children
of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and
Manasseh;
4 Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of
Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the children of Pharez the son of
Judah.
5 And of the Shilonites; Asaiah the
firstborn, and his sons.
6 And of the sons of Zerah; Jeuel, and
their brethren, six hundred and ninety.
7 And of the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the
son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah,
8 And Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah
the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephathiah, the
son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah;
9 And their brethren, according to their
generations, nine hundred and fifty and six. All these men were chief of
the fathers in the house of their fathers.
10 And of the priests; Jedaiah, and
Jehoiarib, and Jachin,
11 And Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son
of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the
ruler of the house of God;
12 And Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son
of Pashur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasiai the son of Adiel, the son of
Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer;
13 And their brethren, heads of the house
of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very able men for
the work of the service of the house of God.
14 And of the Levites;
Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the
sons of Merari;
15 And Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and
Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph;
16 And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the
son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of
Elkanah, that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites.
17 And the porters were, Shallum,
and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum was the
chief;
18 Who hitherto waited in the king’s
gate eastward: they were porters in the companies of the children of
Levi.
19 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of
Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the
Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the
tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the host of the LORD, were
keepers of the entry.
20 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the
ruler over them in time past, and the LORD was with him.
21 And Zechariah the son of
Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
22 All these which were chosen to
be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned
by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain
in their set office.
23 So they and their children had
the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, namely, the house of
the tabernacle, by wards.
24 In four quarters were the porters,
toward the east, west, north, and south.
25 And their brethren, which were
in their villages, were to come after seven days from time to time with
them.
26 For these Levites, the four chief
porters, were in their set office, and were over the chambers and
treasuries of the house of God.
27 And they lodged round about the house
of God, because the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every
morning pertained to them.
28 And certain of them had the
charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by
tale.
29 Some of them also were
appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of the sanctuary, and
the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
30 And some of the sons of the
priests made the ointment of the spices.
31 And Mattithiah, one of the
Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the set
office over the things that were made in the pans.
32 And other of their brethren, of
the sons of the Kohathites, were over the shewbread, to prepare it
every sabbath.
33 And these are the singers, chief
of the fathers of the Levites, who remaining in the chambers were
free: for they were employed in that work day and night.
34 These chief fathers of the Levites were
chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.
35 And in Gibeon dwelt the
father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife’s name was Maachah:
36 And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur,
and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab,
37 And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and
Mikloth.
38 And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they
also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, over against their brethren.
39 And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat
Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.
40 And the son of Jonathan was
Meribbaal: and Meribbaal begat Micah.
41 And the sons of Micah were,
Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, and Ahaz.
42 And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat
Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;
43 And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his
son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son.
44 And Azel had six sons, whose names are
these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan:
these were the sons of Azel.
