Chronicles : Chapter 26
1. CONCERNING
the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites was Me-shel-e-mi-ah the
son of Kor-e, of the sons of A-saph.
2. And the sons of Me-shel-e-mi-ah were, Zech-a-ri-ah the firstborn,
Jed-i-a-el the second, Zeb-a-di-ah the third, Jath-ni-el the fourth,
3. Elam the fifth, Je-ho-ha-nan the sixth, El-i-o-e-nai the seventh.
4. Moreover the sons of Obed-edom were, Shem-ai-ah the firstborn,
Je-ho-za-bad the second, Jo-ah the third, and Sa-car the fourth, and
Neth-a-neel the fifth,
5. Am-mi-el the sixth, Is-sa-char the seventh, Pe-ul-thai the eighth:
for God blessed him.
6. Also unto Shem-ai-ah his son were sons born, that ruled throughout
the house of their father: for they were mighty men of valour.
7. The sons of Shem-ai-ah; Othni, and Reph-a-el, and O-bed, El-za-bad,
whose brethren were strong men, E-li-hu, and Sem-a-chi-ah.
8. All these of the sons of Obed-edom: they and their sons and their
brethren, able men for strength for the service, were threescore and two
of Obed-edom.
9. And Me-shel-e-mi-ah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen.
10. Also Hosah, of the children of Me-rar-i, had sons; Simri the chief,
(for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the
chief;)
11. Hil-ki-ah the second, Teb-a-li-ah the third, Zech-a-ri-ah the
fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.
12. Among these were the divisions of the porters, even among the chief
men, having wards one against another, to minister in the house of the
LORD.
13. And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the
house of their fathers, for every gate.
14. And the lot eastward fell to Shel-e-mi-ah. Then for Zech-a-ri-ah
his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out
northward.
15. To Obed-edom southward; and to his sons the house of A-sup-pim.
16. To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with the gate
Shal-le-cheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward against ward.
17. Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a
day, and toward A-sup-pim two and two.
18. At Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar.
19. These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kor-e, and
among the sons of Me-rar-i.
20. And of the Levites, A-hi-jah was over the treasures of the house of
God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things.
21. As concerning the sons of La-a-dan; the sons of the Gershonite
Laadan, chief fathers, even of Laadan the Gershonite, were Je-hi-e-li.
22. The sons of Je-hi-e-li; Zethan, and Joel his brother, which were
over the treasures of the house of the LORD.
23. Of the Am-ram-ites, and the Iz-har-ites, the Hebronites, and the
Uz-zi-e-lites.
24. And She-bu-el the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of the
treasures.
25. And his brethren by El-i-e-zer; Re-ha-bi-ah his son, and Je-shai-ah
his son, and Joram his son, and Zich-ri his son, and She-lo-mith his
son.
26. Which She-lo-mith 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 captains of the host, had
dedicated.
27. Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate 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 Zer-u-i-ah, had dedicated; and
whosoever had dedicated any thing, it was under the hand of She-lo-mith,
and of his brethren.
29. Of the Iz-har-ites, Chen-a-ni-ah and his sons were for the outward
business over Israel, for officers and judges.
30. And of the Hebronites, Hash-a-bi-ah and his brethren, men of valour,
a thousand and seven hundred, were officers among them of Israel on this
side Jordan westward in all the business of the LORD, and in the service
of the king.
31. Among the Hebronites was Je-ri-jah the chief, even among the
Hebronites, according to the generations of his fathers. In the
fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought for, and there were
found among them mighty men of valour at Jazer of Gil-e-ad.
32. And his brethren, men of valour, were two thousand and seven hundred
chief fathers, whom king David made rulers over the Reubenites, the
Gadites, and the half tribe of Ma-nas-seh, for every matter pertaining
to God, and affairs of the king.
