1 Chronicles 26
- 1
- Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites
was Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.
- 2
- And the sons of Meshelemiah were, Zechariah the
firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
- 3
- Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the
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 unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled
throughout the house of their father: for they were mighty men of valour.
- 7
- The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed,
Elzabad, whose brethren were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah.
- 8
- All these of the sons of Obededom: they and their sons
and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were threescore and
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 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 Shelemiah. Then for
Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out
northward.
- 15
- To Obededom southward; and to his sons the house of
Asuppim.
- 16
- To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with
the gate Shallecheth, 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 Asuppim 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
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, which
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
- Which 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 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 Zeruiah, had dedicated; and
whosoever had dedicated any thing, it was under the hand of Shelomith, and of
his brethren.
- 29
- Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were for the
outward business over Israel, for officers and judges.
- 30
- And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah 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 Jerijah 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 Gilead.
- 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 Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to
God, and affairs of the king.
