敖貝得厄東的兒子：長子為舍瑪雅，次為約匝巴得，三為約阿黑，四為撒加爾，五為乃塔耳，

六為阿米耳，七為依撒加爾，八為培烏肋秦；天主實在祝福了敖貝得厄東。
6 Obed-Edom’s son Shemaiah also had sons. They were leaders in their father’s family because they were capable of doing many things well.
他的兒子舍瑪雅所生的兒子，都為他們父家的主管，因為都是有力的勇士。

12 Those men were leaders of the groups of men who guarded the gates of the temple. They worked at the temple like their relatives did.
以上是守門者的班次，無論是族長或是他們的弟兄，在上主殿內盡職，都有同等的任務。
13 By casting lots, the leader of each family chose one gate for their group to guard. [All of them, including] young men and old men (OR, including leaders of large families and small families), cast lots.
他們不論大小，按照他們的家族抽籤，看守各門。
14 Shelemiah’s group was selected to guard the East Gate. The group of Shelemiah’s son Zechariah, who was a wise counselor, was selected to guard the North Gate.
中籤首東門的為舍肋米雅。他的兒子則加黎雅是個聰敏的謀士，中籤守北門。

敖貝得厄東守衛南門，他的兒子們看守庫房。

26 Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of all the valuable things that had been dedicated [to Yahweh] by King David, by the leaders of the family groups, by the army commanders of 1,000 soldiers and commanders of 100 soldiers, and by other army commanders.
這舍羅米特和他的弟兄們掌管府庫中的一切聖物，就是達味君王、各族長、千夫長、百夫長及軍官所獻的聖物、
27 Some of the things that those army officers had taken [from Israel’s enemies] in battles they dedicated for the repair of the temple of Yahweh.

31 It was written in the records of the descendants of Hebron that Jeriah was their leader. When David had been ruling for almost 40 years, they searched in those records, and they found [names of] capable men descended from Hebron who were at Jazer [city] in the Gilead [region].
赫貝龍族為族長的是耶黎雅。達味在位第四十年，曾按照赫貝龍族的族系和家世調查，在基肋阿得的雅則爾找到了這族的有力的勇士。
32 Jeriah had 2,700 relatives who were able to do their work well, and who were leaders of their families. King David put them in charge of governing the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and [the eastern] half of the tribe of Manasseh, to be sure that all the people did what God and the king told them to do.
