Chronicles I 26

1 And for the divisions of the gates: the sons of the Corites [were] Mosellemia, of the sons of Asaph.

For the courses of the gatekeepers: of the Korhites [is] Meshelemiah son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph;

2 And Mosellemia's first-born son [was] Zacharias, the second Jadiel, the third Zabadia, the fourth Jenuel,

and to Meshelemiah [are] sons, Zechariah the first-born, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,

3 the fifth Jolam, the sixth Jonathan, the seventh Elionai, the eighth Abdedom.

Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh.

4 And to Abdedom [there were born] sons, Samaias the first-born, Jozabath the second, Joath the third, Sachar the fourth, Nathanael the fifth,

And to Obed-Edom [are] sons, Shemaiah the first-born, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth,

5 Amiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Phelathi the eighth: for God blessed him.

Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peullethai the eighth, for God hath blessed him.

6 And to Samaias his son were born the sons of his first-born, chiefs over the house of their father, for they were mighty.

And to Shemaiah his son have sons been born, who are ruling throughout the house of their father, for they [are] mighty of valour.

7 The sons of Samai; Othni, and Raphael, and Obed, and Elzabath, and Achiud, mighty men, Heliu, and Sabachia, and Isbacom.

Sons of Shemaiah [are] Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad; his brethren [are] sons of valour, Elihu and Semachiah,

8 All [these were] of the sons of Abdedom, they and their sons and their brethren, doing mightily in service: in all sixty-two [born] to Abdedom.

all these [are] of the sons of Obed-Edom; they, and their sons, and their brethren, men of valour with might for service, [are] sixty and two of Obed-Edom.

9 And Mosellemia [had] eighteen sons and brethren, mighty men.

And to Meshelemiah [are] sons and brethren, sons of valour, eighteen;

10 And to Osa of the sons of Merari [there were born] sons, keeping the dominion; though he was not the first-born, yet his father made him chief of the second division.

and to Hosah, of the sons of Merari, [are] sons: Shimri the head (though he was not first-born, yet his father setteth him for head),

11 Chelcias the second, Tablai the third, Zacharias the fourth: all these [were] the sons and brethren of Osa, thirteen.

Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth; all the sons and brethren of Hosah [are] thirteen.

12 To these [were assigned] the divisions of the gates, to the chiefs of the mighty men the daily courses, even their brethren, to minister in the house of the Lord.

According to these [are] the courses of the gatekeepers; to the heads of the mighty ones [are] charges over-against their brethren, to minister in the house of Jehovah,

13 And they cast lots for the small as well as for the great, for the several gates, according to their families.

and they cause to fall lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for gate and gate.

14 And the lot of the east gates fell to Selemias, and Zacharias: the sons of Soaz cast lots for Melchias, and the lot came out northward.

And the lot falleth eastward to Shelemiah; and [for] Zechariah his son — a counsellor with understanding — they cause to fall lots, and his lot goeth out northward:

15 To Abdedom [they gave by lot] the south, opposite the house of Esephim.

to Obed-Edom southward, and to his sons, the house of the gatherings;

16 [They gave the lot] for the second to Osa westward, after the gate of the chamber by the ascent, watch against watch.

to Shuppim and to Hosah to the west, with the gate Shallecheth, in the highway, the ascent, charge over-against charge;

17 Eastward [were] six [watchmen] in the day; northward four by the day; southward four by the day; and two at the Esephim,

to the east the Levites [are] six; to the north daily four, to the south daily four, and to the gatherings two by two,

18 to relieve guard, also for Osa westward after the chamber-gate, three. [There was] a ward over against the ward of the ascent eastward, six [men] in a day, and four for the north, and four for the south, and at the Esephim two to relieve guard, and four by the west, and two to relieve guard at the pathway.

at Parbar, to the west, [are] four at the highway, two at Parbar.

19 These [are] the divisions of the porters for the sons of Core, and to the sons of Merari.

These are the courses of the gatekeepers, of the sons of the Korhite, and of the sons of Merari.

20 And the Levites their brethren [were] over the treasures of the house of the Lord, and over the treasures of the hallowed things.

And of the Levites, Ahijah [is] over the treasures of the house of God, even for the treasures of the holy things.

21 These [were] the sons of Ladan, the sons of the Gersonite: to Ladan [belonged] the heads of the families: [the son] of Ladan the Gersonite [was] Jeiel.

Sons of Laadan: sons of the Gershonite, of Laadan, heads of the fathers of Laadan the Gershonite: Jehieli.

22 The sons of Jeiel [were] Zethom, and Joel; brethren [who were] over the treasures of the house of the Lord.

Sons of Jehieli: Zetham, and Joel his brother, over the treasures of the house of Jehovah,

23 To Ambram and Issaar belonged Chebron, and Oziel.

24 And Subael the [son] of Gersam, the [son] of Moses, [was] over the treasures.

And Shebuel son of Gershom, son of Moses, [is] president over the treasures.

25 And Rabias [was] son to his brother Eliezer, and [so was] Josias, and Joram, and Zechri, and Salomoth.

And his brethren, of Eliezer, [are] Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son.

26 This Salomoth and his brethren [were] over all the sacred treasures, which David the king and the heads of families consecrated, [and] the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and princes of the host,

This Shelomith and his brethren [are] over all the treasures of the holy things, that David the king, and heads of the fathers, even heads of thousands, and of hundreds, and heads of the host, sanctified;

27 things which he took out of cities and from the spoils, and consecrated some of them, so that the building of the house of God should not want [supplies];

from the battles, even from the spoil they sanctified to strengthen the house of Jehovah;

28 and over all the holy things of God dedicated by Samuel the prophet, and Saul the son of Kis, and Abenner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Saruia, whatsoever they sanctified [was] by the hand of Salomoth and his brethren.

and all that Samuel the seer, and Saul son of Kish, and Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah sanctified, every one sanctifying [any thing — it is] by the side of Shelomith and his brethren.

29 For the Issaarites, Chonenia, and [his] sons [were over] the outward ministration over Israel, to record and to judge.

Of the Izharite, Chenaniah and his sons [are] for the outward work over Israel, for officers and for judges.

Of the Hebronite, Jerijah [is] the head, of the Hebronite, according to his generations, for the fathers — in the fortieth year of the reign of David they have been sought out, and there are found among them mighty ones of valour, in Jazer of Gilead —

32 And his brethren [were] two thousand seven hundred mighty men, chiefs of their families, and king David set them over the Rubenites, and the Gaddites, and the half-tribe of Manasse, for every ordinance of the Lord, and business of the king.

and his brethren, sons of valour, two thousand and seven hundred, [are] heads of the fathers, and king David appointeth them over the Reubenite, and the Gadite, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh, for every matter of God and matter of the king.
