2 And Meshelemyahu had sons: Zecharyahu the first-born, Jedi'ael the second, Zebaiyahu the third, Jathniel the fourth,

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

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

6 Also unto Shema'yah his son there were born sons, that were rulers for the house of their father; for they were mighty men of valor.

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 Shema'yah were 'Othni, and Rephael, and 'Obed, [and] Elsahad, his brothers [were] valiant men, Elihu, and Semachyahu.

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 'Obed-edom: they and their sons and their brethren were valiant men in strength for the service, being sixty and two [descendants] of 'Obed-edom.

9 And Meshelemyahu had sons and brethren, valiant men, eighteen.

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

10 Also Chossah, of the children of Merari, had sons: Shimri the chief, for [though] he was not the first-born, yet his father made him the chief;

12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, after the chief men, had the watch along with 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, the small as well as the great, according to their family divisions, for each and every gate.

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 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.

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 For 'Obed-edom at the south; and to his sons [was assigned] the house of Assuppim.

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

16 For Shuppim and for Chossah at the west, by the gate Shallecheth, on the ascending causeway, watch alongside of watch.

19 These are the divisions of the gatekeepers of the sons of the Korchites, and of 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 of the Levites, Achiyah was over the treasuries of the house of God, and over the treasuries of the holy things.

26 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.

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

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

28 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruyah, had sanctified, whatsoever [any one] had sanctified, was under the supervision of Shelomoth and of 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.
