1 Chronicles 26

1 For the divisions of the gatekeepers, of the Korahites: Meshelemiah son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph;

And the divisions of the porters: of the Corites Meselemia, the son of Core, of the sons of Asaph.

2 and sons of Meshelemiah: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,

The sons of Meselemia: Zacharias the firstborn, Jadihel the second, Zabadias the third, Jathanael the fourth,

3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh.

Elam the fifth, Johanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh.

4 And moreover, sons of Obed-Edom: Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth,

And the sons of Obededom, Semeias the firstborn, Jozabad the second, Joaha the third, Sachar the fourth, Nathanael the fifth,

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

Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Phollathi the eighth: for the Lord had blessed him.

6 And sons have been born to his son Shemaiah, who are ruling throughout the house of their father, for they [are] mighty men of valor.

And to Semei his son were born sons, herds of their families: for they were men of great valour.

7 Sons of Shemaiah: Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, [and] Elzabad; his brothers Elihu and Semachiah [are] sons of valor.

The sons then of Semeias were Othni, and Raphael, and Obed, Elizabad, and his brethren most valiant men: and Eliu, and Samachias.

8 All these [are] of the sons of Obed-Edom; they, and their sons, and their brothers, men of valor with might for service—sixty-two of Obed-Edom.

All these of the sons of Obededom: they, and their sons, and their brethren most able men for service, sixty-two of Obededom.

9 And sons and brothers of Meshelemiah, sons of valor—eighteen;

And the sons of Meselemia, and their brethren strong men, were eighteen.

10 and of Hosah, of the sons of Merari, [are these] sons: Shimri the head (though he was not firstborn, yet his father sets him for head),

And of Hosa, that is, of the sons of Merari: Semri the chief, (for he had not a firstborn, and therefore his father made him chief.)

11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth; all the sons and brothers of Hosah—thirteen.

Helcias the second, Tabelias the third, Zacharias the fourth: all these the sons, and the brethren of Hosa, were thirteen.

12 For these [are] the divisions of the gatekeepers, of the heads of the mighty ones, [with] charges just as their brothers, to minister in the house of YHWH,

Among these were the divisions of the porters, so that the chiefs of the wards, as well as their brethren, always ministered in the house of the Lord.

13 and they cause lots to fall, the small as well as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.

And they cast lots equally, both little and great, by their families for every one of the gates.

14 And the lot falls eastward to Shelemiah; and [for] his son Zechariah, a counselor with understanding, they cause lots to fall, and his lot goes out northward;

And the lot of the east fell to Selemias. But to his son Zacharias, a very wise and learned man, the north gate fell by lot.

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

And to Obededom and his sons that towards the south: in which part of the house was the council of the ancients.

16 to Shuppim and to Hosah to the west, with Shallecheth Gate, in the highway, the ascent, watch next to watch;

To Sephim, and Hosa towards the west, by the gate which leadeth to the way of the ascent: ward against ward.

17 to the east [are] six Levites, to the north [are] four each day, to the south [are] four each day, and for the gatherings, two by two;

Now towards the east were six Levites: and towards the north four a day: and towards the south likewise four a day: and where the council was, two and two.

18 at Parbar, to the west, [are] four at the highway, two at Parbar.

In the cells also of the porters toward the west four in the way: and two at every cell.

19 These are the divisions of the gatekeepers, of the sons of the Korahite, and of the sons of Merari.

These are the divisions of the porters of the sons of Core, and of Merari.

20 And of the Levites, Ahijah [is] over the treasures of the house of God, even for the treasures of the holy things.

Now Achias was over the treasures of the house of God, and the holy vessels.

21 Sons of Laadan, sons of the Gershonite, of Laadan, heads of the fathers of Laadan the Gershonite: Jehieli.

The sons of Ledan, the sons of Gersonni: of Ledan were heads of the families, of Ledan, and Gersonni, Jehieli.

22 Sons of Jehieli: Zetham and his brother Joel, over the treasures of the house of YHWH.

The sons of Jehieli: Zathan and Joel, his brethren over the treasures of the house of the Lord,

23 Of the Amramite, of the Izharite, of the Hebronite, of [the] Uzzielite—

With the Amramites, and Isaarites, and Hebronites, and Ozielites.

24 and Shebuel son of Gershom, son of Moses, [is] president over the treasures.

And Subael the son of Gersom, the son of Moses, was chief over the treasures.

25 And his brothers, of Eliezer: Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son.

His brethren also, Eliezer, whose son Rohobia, and his son Isaias, and his son Joram, and his son Zechri, and his son Selemith.

26 This Shelomith and his brothers [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;

Which Selemith and his brethren were over the treasures of the holy things, which king David, and the heads of families, and the captains over thousands and over hundreds, and the captains of the host had dedicated,

27 from the battles and from the spoil, they sanctified to strengthen the house of YHWH;

Out of the wars, and the spoils won in battles, which they had consecrated to the building and furniture of the temple of the Lord.

28 and all that Samuel the seer, and Saul son of Kish, and Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah sanctified, everyone sanctifying [anything—it is] by the side of Shelomith and his brothers.

And all these things that Samuel the seer and Saul the son of Cis, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Sarvia had sanctified: and whosoever had sanctified those things, they were under the hand of Selemith and his brethren.

29 Of the Izharite, Chenaniah and his sons [are] for the outward work over Israel, for officers and for judges.

But Chonenias and his sons were over the Isaarites, for the business abroad over Israel to teach them and judge them.

30 Of the Hebronite, Hashabiah and his brothers, one thousand and seven hundred sons of valor, [are] over the inspection of Israel, beyond the Jordan westward, for all the work of YHWH, and for the service of the king.

And of the Hebronites Hasabias, and his brethren most able men, a thousand seven hundred had the charge over Israel beyond the Jordan westward, in all the works of the Lord, and for the service of the king.

31 Of the Hebronite, Jerijah [is] the head of the Hebronite, according to the generations of his fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they have been sought out, and there are found among them mighty men of valor, in Jazer of Gilead—

And the chief of the Hebronites was Jeria according to their families and kindreds. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were numbered, and there were found most valiant men in Jazer Galaad,

32 and his brothers, two thousand and seven hundred sons of valor, [are] heads of the fathers, and King David appoints them over the Reubenite, and the Gadite, and the half of the tribe of the Manassite, for every matter of God and matter of the king.

And his brethren of stronger age, two thousand seven hundred chiefs of families. And king David made them rulers over the Rubenites and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasses, for all the service of God, and the king.
