1 Chronicles 9
1 All of the people of Israel were recorded in the genealogies written down in the book of the kings of Israel. The people of Judah were taken away to captivity in Babylon because they had been unfaithful.

Amih kah tuemkoi vanbangla Pathen im kaepvai ah rhaeh uh. Amih tah mincang, mincang ah cabi aka ong ham khaw om uh.
28 Some of the gatekeepers were responsible for the articles that were used in worship services. They counted what was brought in and what was taken out.
