1 Chronicles 26
1 This is a list of the divisions of the gatekeepers. From the Korahites: Meshelemiah son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph.
| לְמַחְלְקוֹת לְשֹׁעֲרִים לַקׇּרְחִים מְשֶׁלֶמְיָהוּ בֶן־קֹרֵא מִן־בְּנֵי אָסָֽף׃ |
2 The sons of Meshelemiah: Zechariah (first), Jediael (second), Zebadiah (third), Jathniel (fourth),
| וְלִמְשֶׁלֶמְיָהוּ בָּנִים זְכַרְיָהוּ הַבְּכוֹר יְדִיעֲאֵל הַשֵּׁנִי זְבַדְיָהוּ הַשְּׁלִישִׁי יַתְנִיאֵל הָרְבִיעִֽי׃ |
3 Elam (fifth), Jehohanan (sixth), and Eliehoenai (seventh).
| עֵילָם הַחֲמִישִׁי יְהוֹחָנָן הַשִּׁשִּׁי אֶלְיְהוֹעֵינַי הַשְּׁבִיעִֽי׃ |
4 The sons of Obed-edom: Shemaiah (first), Jehozabad (second), Joah (third), Sacar (fourth), Nethanel (fifth),
| וּלְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם בָּנִים שְׁמַעְיָה הַבְּכוֹר יְהוֹזָבָד הַשֵּׁנִי יוֹאָח הַשְּׁלִשִׁי וְשָׂכָר הָרְבִיעִי וּנְתַנְאֵל הַחֲמִישִֽׁי׃ |
5 Ammiel (sixth), Issachar (seventh), and Peullethai (eighth), for God had blessed Obed-edom.
| עַמִּיאֵל הַשִּׁשִּׁי יִשָּׂשכָר הַשְּׁבִיעִי פְּעֻלְּתַי הַשְּׁמִינִי כִּי בֵרְכוֹ אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
6 Shemaiah, Obed-edom's son, had sons who were capable leaders and had great authority in their father's family
| וְלִֽשְׁמַעְיָה בְנוֹ נוֹלַד בָּנִים הַמִּמְשָׁלִים לְבֵית אֲבִיהֶם כִּֽי־גִבּוֹרֵי חַיִל הֵֽמָּה׃ |
7 The sons of Shemaiah: Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad. His relatives, Elihu and Semakiah, were also capable men.
| בְּנֵי שְׁמַֽעְיָה עׇתְנִי וּרְפָאֵל וְעוֹבֵד אֶלְזָבָד אֶחָיו בְּנֵי־חָיִל אֱלִיהוּ וּסְמַכְיָֽהוּ׃ |
8 All these descendants of Obed-edom, plus their sons and grandsons, a total of sixty-two, were capable men, well qualified for their service.
| כׇּל־אֵלֶּה מִבְּנֵי ׀ עֹבֵד אֱדֹם הֵמָּה וּבְנֵיהֶם וַאֲחֵיהֶם אִֽישׁ־חַיִל בַּכֹּחַ לַעֲבֹדָה שִׁשִּׁים וּשְׁנַיִם לְעֹבֵד אֱדֹֽם׃ |
9 Meshelemiah's eighteen sons and brothers were also capable men.
| וְלִמְשֶׁלֶמְיָהוּ בָּנִים וְאַחִים בְּנֵי־חָיִל שְׁמוֹנָה עָשָֽׂר׃ |
10 Hosah, one of the sons of Merari, made Shimri as leader among his sons, though he was not the firstborn.
| וּלְחֹסָה מִן־בְּנֵי־מְרָרִי בָּנִים שִׁמְרִי הָרֹאשׁ כִּי לֹֽא־הָיָה בְכוֹר וַיְשִׂימֵהוּ אָבִיהוּ לְרֹֽאשׁ׃ |
11 His other sons included Hilkiah (second), Tebaliah (third), and Zechariah (fourth). The total of Hosah's sons and relatives was thirteen.
| חִלְקִיָּהוּ הַשֵּׁנִי טְבַלְיָהוּ הַשְּׁלִשִׁי זְכַרְיָהוּ הָרְבִעִי כׇּל־בָּנִים וְאַחִים לְחֹסָה שְׁלֹשָׁה עָשָֽׂר׃ |
12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, through their family leaders, served in the house of the Lord, just like their brothers.
| לְאֵלֶּה מַחְלְקוֹת הַשֹּׁעֲרִים לְרָאשֵׁי הַגְּבָרִים מִשְׁמָרוֹת לְעֻמַּת אֲחֵיהֶם לְשָׁרֵת בְּבֵית יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
13 Every gate was assigned by lot to different families, the least important equal to the most important.
| וַיַּפִּילוּ גוֹרָלוֹת כַּקָּטֹן כַּגָּדוֹל לְבֵית אֲבוֹתָם לְשַׁעַר וָשָֽׁעַר׃ |
14 The lot for the east gate fell to Meshelemiah. Then they cast lots for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor with insight, and the lot for the north gate fell to him.
| וַיִּפֹּל הַגּוֹרָל מִזְרָחָה לְשֶׁלֶמְיָהוּ וּזְכַרְיָהוּ בְנוֹ יוֹעֵץ ׀ בְּשֶׂכֶל הִפִּילוּ גּֽוֹרָלוֹת וַיֵּצֵא גוֹרָלוֹ צָפֽוֹנָה׃ |
15 The lot for the south gate fell to Obed-edom, and the lot for the storehouse fell to his sons.
| לְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם נֶגְבָּה וּלְבָנָיו בֵּית הָאֲסֻפִּֽים׃ |
16 Shuppim and Hosah received the west gate and the gate of Shallecheth on the road that leads up. They were always guarded.
| לְשֻׁפִּים וּלְחֹסָה לַֽמַּעֲרָב עִם שַׁעַר שַׁלֶּכֶת בַּֽמְסִלָּה הָעוֹלָה מִשְׁמָר לְעֻמַּת מִשְׁמָֽר׃ |
17 There were six Levites on duty every day at the east gate, four at the north gate, four at the south gate, and two at a time at the storehouse.
| לַמִּזְרָח הַלְוִיִּם שִׁשָּׁה לַצָּפוֹנָה לַיּוֹם אַרְבָּעָה לַנֶּגְבָּה לַיּוֹם אַרְבָּעָה וְלָאֲסֻפִּים שְׁנַיִם שְׁנָֽיִם׃ |
18 Six were on duty every day at the west gate, four at the main road, and two at the courtyard.
| לַפַּרְבָּר לַֽמַּעֲרָב אַרְבָּעָה לַֽמְסִלָּה שְׁנַיִם לַפַּרְבָּֽר׃ |
19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers from the sons of Korah and the sons of Merari.
| אֵלֶּה מַחְלְקוֹת הַשֹּׁעֲרִים לִבְנֵי הַקׇּרְחִי וְלִבְנֵי מְרָרִֽי׃ |
20 Other Levites under Ahijah were in charge of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries of the what had been dedicated to God.
| וְֽהַלְוִיִּם אֲחִיָּה עַל־אֽוֹצְרוֹת בֵּית הָאֱלֹהִים וּלְאֹצְרוֹת הַקֳּדָשִֽׁים׃ |
21 From the sons of Ladan, who were the descendants of the Gershonites through Ladan, and were the family leaders of Ladan the Gershonite: Jehieli.
| בְּנֵי לַעְדָּן בְּנֵי הַגֵּרְשֻׁנִּי לְלַעְדָּן רָאשֵׁי הָאָבוֹת לְלַעְדָּן הַגֵּרְשֻׁנִּי יְחִיאֵלִֽי׃ |
22 The sons of Jehieli, Zetham and his brother Joel, were in charge of the treasuries of the house of the Lord.
| בְּנֵי יְחִיאֵלִי זֵתָם וְיוֹאֵל אָחִיו עַל־אֹצְרוֹת בֵּית יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
23 From the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites:
| לַֽעַמְרָמִי לַיִּצְהָרִי לַחֶבְרוֹנִי לָעׇזִּיאֵלִֽי׃ |
24 Shebuel, a descendant of Gershom, son of Moses, who was the chief officer in charge of the treasuries.
| וּשְׁבֻאֵל בֶּן־גֵּרְשׁוֹם בֶּן־מֹשֶׁה נָגִיד עַל־הָאֹצָרֽוֹת׃ |
25 His relatives by Eliezer were Rehabiah, Jeshaiah, Joram, Zicri, and Shelomoth.
| וְאֶחָיו לֶאֱלִיעֶזֶר רְחַבְיָהוּ בְנוֹ וִישַׁעְיָהֽוּ בְנוֹ וְיֹרָם בְּנוֹ וְזִכְרִי בְנוֹ (ושלמות) [וּשְׁלֹמִית] בְּנֽוֹ׃ |
26 Shelomoth and his relatives were in charge of all the treasuries for all that had been dedicated by King David, by the family leaders who were the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and by the army commanders.
| הוּא שְׁלֹמוֹת וְאֶחָיו עַל כׇּל־אֹצְרוֹת הַקֳּדָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר הִקְדִּישׁ דָּוִיד הַמֶּלֶךְ וְרָאשֵׁי הָאָבוֹת לְשָׂרֵֽי־הָאֲלָפִים וְהַמֵּאוֹת וְשָׂרֵי הַצָּבָֽא׃ |
27 They dedicated a part of the plunder they had won in battle to help maintain the house of the Lord.
| מִן־הַמִּלְחָמוֹת וּמִן־הַשָּׁלָל הִקְדִּישׁוּ לְחַזֵּק לְבֵית יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
28 Shelomoth and his relatives also looked after the gifts dedicated to the Lord by Samuel the seer, Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah. All the dedicated gifts were the responsibility of Shelomoth and his relatives.
| וְכֹל הַהִקְדִּישׁ שְׁמוּאֵל הָרֹאֶה וְשָׁאוּל בֶּן־קִישׁ וְאַבְנֵר בֶּן־נֵר וְיוֹאָב בֶּן־צְרוּיָה כֹּל הַמַּקְדִּישׁ עַל יַד־שְׁלֹמִית וְאֶחָֽיו׃ |
29 From the Izharites: Kenaniah and his sons were given outside duties as officials and judges over Israel.
| לַיִּצְהָרִי כְּנַנְיָהוּ וּבָנָיו לַמְּלָאכָה הַחִֽיצוֹנָה עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל לְשֹׁטְרִים וּלְשֹׁפְטִֽים׃ |
30 From the Hebronites: Hashabiah and his relatives, 1,700 capable men, were put in charge of the Israel west of the Jordan, responsible for everything involving the Lord's work and the king's service.
| לַחֶבְרוֹנִי חֲשַׁבְיָהוּ וְאֶחָיו בְּנֵי־חַיִל אֶלֶף וּשְׁבַע־מֵאוֹת עַל פְּקֻדַּת יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵעֵבֶר לַיַּרְדֵּן מַעְרָבָה לְכֹל מְלֶאכֶת יְהֹוָה וְלַעֲבֹדַת הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ |
31 Also from the Hebronites came Jerijah, the leader of the Hebronites according to the family genealogies. In the fortieth year of David's reign the records were examined, and men of great ability were discovered at Jazer in Gilead.
| לַֽחֶבְרוֹנִי יְרִיָּה הָרֹאשׁ לַֽחֶבְרוֹנִי לְתֹלְדֹתָיו לְאָבוֹת בִּשְׁנַת הָאַרְבָּעִים לְמַלְכוּת דָּוִיד נִדְרָשׁוּ וַיִּמָּצֵא בָהֶם גִּבּוֹרֵי חַיִל בְּיַעְזֵיר גִּלְעָֽד׃ |
32 Among the relatives of Jerijah were 2,700 capable men who were family leaders. King David put them in charge of the tribes of Reuben and Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh. They were responsible for everything involving the Lord's work and the king's service.
| וְאֶחָיו בְּנֵי־חַיִל אַלְפַּיִם וּשְׁבַע מֵאוֹת רָאשֵׁי הָאָבוֹת וַֽיַּפְקִידֵם דָּוִיד הַמֶּלֶךְ עַל־הָראוּבֵנִי וְהַגָּדִי וַחֲצִי שֵׁבֶט הַֽמְנַשִּׁי לְכׇל־דְּבַר הָאֱלֹהִים וּדְבַר הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ |
