1 Chronicles 9

1 So all Israel was recorded in the genealogies written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. But Judah was exiled to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness.

And all Israel were registered by genealogy; and behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel. And Judah was carried away to Babylon because of their transgression.

2 Now the first to resettle their own property in their cities were Israelites, priests, Levites, and temple servants.

And the inhabitants that were first in their possessions in their cities were the Israelites, the priests, the Levites, and the Nethinim.

3 These were some of the descendants of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh who lived in Jerusalem:

And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and Manasseh:

19 Shallum son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his relatives from the Korahites were assigned to guard the thresholds of the Tent, just as their fathers had been assigned to guard the entrance to the dwelling of the LORD.

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 thresholds of the tent, and their fathers, set over the camp of Jehovah, were keepers of the entrance.

20 In earlier times Phinehas son of Eleazar had been in charge of the gatekeepers, and the LORD was with him.

All these chosen to be doorkeepers at the thresholds were two hundred and twelve. These were registered by genealogy according to their villages: David and Samuel the seer had instituted them in their trust.

23 So they and their descendants were assigned to guard the gates of the house of the LORD—the house called the Tent.

And they and their sons were at the gates of the house of Jehovah, the house of the tent, to keep watch there.

24 The gatekeepers were stationed on the four sides: east, west, north, and south.

At the four quarters were the doorkeepers, toward the east, west, north, and south.

25 Their relatives came from their villages at fixed times to serve with them for seven-day periods.

And their brethren, in their villages, were to come after [every] seven days from time to time with them.

26 But the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted with the rooms and the treasuries of the house of God.

For in their trust these four were the chief doorkeepers: they were Levites; and they were over the chambers and over the treasuries of the house of God;

27 They would spend the night stationed around the house of God, because they were responsible for guarding it and opening it every morning.

for they stayed round about the house of God during the night, because the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning [pertained] to them.

28 Some of them were in charge of the articles used in worship, to count them whenever they were brought in or taken out.

And [part] of them had the charge of the instruments of service, for by number they brought them in and by number they brought them out.

29 Others were put in charge of the furnishings and other articles of the sanctuary, as well as the fine flour, wine, oil, frankincense, and spices.

[Part] of them also were appointed over the vessels, and over all the holy instruments, and over the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.

30 And some of the sons of the priests mixed the spices.

And it was [some one] of the sons of the priests who compounded the ointment of the spices.

31 A Levite named Mattithiah, the firstborn son of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with baking the bread.

32 Some of their Kohathite brothers were responsible for preparing the rows of the showbread every Sabbath.

And [some] of the sons of the Kohathites, their brethren, were over the loaves to be set in rows, to prepare them every sabbath.

33 Those who were musicians, the heads of Levite families, stayed in the temple chambers and were exempt from other duties because they were on duty day and night.

And these were the singers, chief fathers of the Levites, [who were] in the chambers free from service; for they were employed day and night.

34 All these were heads of Levite families, chiefs according to their genealogies, and they lived in Jerusalem.

These are the chief fathers of the Levites, heads according to their families; these dwelt in Jerusalem.
