1 ¶ As for the divisions of the gatekeepers: Among Korah’s descendants there was Meshelemiah the son of Kore, among the descendants of Asaph.

2 Meshelemiah’s first son was Zechariah, Jediael was his second, Zebadiah his third, Jathniel his fourth,

3 Elam his fifth, Jehohanan his sixth, and Elioenai his seventh.

4 Moreover the sons of Obededom were, Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth,

5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth: for God blessed him.

6 Also to Shemaiah his son were sons born, who were rulers in their father’s houses: for they were mighty men of valor.

7 The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah.

8 All these were sons of Obededom: with their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, sixty-two of Obededom.

9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen.

10 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;)

11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.

12 Among these were the divisions of the gatekeepers, even among the chief men, having duties as did their brethren, to minister in the house of the LORD.

13 And they cast lots, small and great alike, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.

14 And the lot for the east fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counselor, they cast lots; and his lot came out for the north.

15 To Obededom for the south; and to his sons the house of Asuppim.

16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth for the west, by the refuge gate, that goes into the upper road, here one watch was beside the other.

17 On the east were six Levites, on the north four a day, on the south four a day, and at the storehouse two and two.

18 At Parbar on the west, four at the road, and two at Parbar.

19 These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore, and among the sons of Merari.

20 ¶ And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of the house of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things.

21 As concerning the sons of Laadan; the sons of the Gershonite Laadan, chief fathers, even of Laadan the Gershonite, were Jehieli.

22 The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother, were over the treasures of the house of the LORD.

23 Of the Amramites, and the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites:

24 And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of the treasures.

25 And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son.

26 This Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the commanders of the army, had dedicated.

27 They dedicated them out of the spoils won in battles to maintain the house of the LORD.

28 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated; and whatever anyone had dedicated, was under the hand of Shelomith, and his brethren.

29 ¶ Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were appointed to the outside duties over Israel, as officers and judges.

30 And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, one thousand and seven hundred men of valor, were officers among those of Israel on the west side of the Jordan in all the business of the LORD, and in the service of the king.

31 Among the Hebronites was Jerijah the chief, even among the Hebronites, according to the generations of his fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David search was made, and men of courage were found among them at Jazer of Gilead.

32 And king David appointed Jerijah and his kinsmen, two thousand and seven hundred men of ability, heads of fathers houses, over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king.
