So all Israel was listed by their families; and, truly, they are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel. And Judah was taken away as prisoners to Babylon because of their sin.

Up till then they had been at the king's door to the east. They were door-keepers for the tents of the sons of Levi.
19 Shalumu mwana wa Kore, mwana wa Ebiasafu, mwana wa Kora, pamoja na mabawabu wenzake kutoka jamaa yake ya Kora waliwajibika kulinda malango ya Hema, kama vile baba zao walivyokuwa wamewajibika kulinda ingilio la Maskani ya Bwana.
And Shallum, the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brothers, of his family, the Korahites, were responsible for everything which had to be done in connection with the order of worship, keepers of the doors of the Tent; their fathers had had the care of the tents of the Lord, being keepers of the doorway.
20 Hapo zamani Finehasi mwana wa Eleazari alikuwa kiongozi wa mabawabu, naye Bwana alikuwa pamoja naye:

There were two hundred and twelve whose business it was to keep the doorway. These were listed by families in the country places where they were living, whom David and Samuel the seer put in their responsible positions.
23 Wao na wazao wao walikuwa viongozi wa kulinda malango ya nyumba ya Bwana, nyumba iliyoitwa Hema.
So they and their sons had the care of the doors of the house of the Lord, the house of the Tent, as watchers.
24 Mabawabu walikuwa pande zote nne: mashariki, magharibi, kaskazini na kusini.
There were keepers of the doors on the four sides, to the east, west, north, and south.
25 Ndugu zao katika vijiji vyao walikuwa wakija mara kwa mara na kuwasaidia katika kazi zao kwa vipindi mbalimbali vya siku saba.
And their brothers, in the country places where they were living, were to come in every seven days to be with them from time to time.
26 Lakini mabawabu wanne wakuu, waliokuwa Walawi, walikabidhiwa wajibu kwa ajili ya vyumba na hazina katika nyumba ya Mungu.
For the four chief door-keepers, who were Levites, had a special position, looking after the rooms and the store-houses of the house of God.
