6 Also to his son Shemaiah were born sons who ruled over their families because they were strong, capable men.

13 They cast lots for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike.

And they cast lots, the small as well as the great, according to their family divisions, for each and every gate.

14 The lot for the East Gate fell to Shelemiah. Then lots were cast for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and the lot for the North Gate fell to him.

And the lot at the east fell for Shelemyahu. And for Zecharyahu his son, an intelligent counsellor, they cast lots, and his lot came out at the north.

This Shelomoth and his brethren were over all the treasuries of the holy things, which king David had sanctified, together with the chiefs of the family divisions, the captains over the thousands and the hundreds, and the captains of the army.

27 They had dedicated some of the plunder from their battles to the repair of the house of the LORD.

Out of the wars, and out of the booty did they sanctify to maintain the house of the Lord.

28 Everything that had been dedicated by Samuel the seer, Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah, along with everything else that was dedicated, was under the care of Shelomith and his brothers.
