1 Chronicles 26
The Porters and
Overseers |
1 |
Concerning the divisions of the porters:
Of the Korhites was Meshelemi'ah the son of Kore, of the sons
of Asaph.
|
2 |
And the sons of Meshelemi'ah were, Zechari'ah the firstborn, Jedi'a-el the second, Zebadi'ah the third,
Jath'ni-el the fourth,
|
3 |
Elam the fifth, Jeho'hanan the sixth,
Eli-oe'nai the seventh.
|
4 |
Moreover the sons of O'bed-e'dom were, Shemai'ah the firstborn, Jehoz'abad the second, Jo'ah
the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethan'e-el the
fifth,
|
5 |
Am'mi-el the sixth, Is'sachar the
seventh, Pe-ul'thai the eighth: for God blessed him. 2 Sam. 6.11 · 1 Chr. 13.14
|
6 |
Also unto Shemai'ah his son were sons
born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they were mighty men of valor.
|
7 |
The sons of Shemai'ah; Othni, and
Reph'a-el, and Obed, Elza'bad, whose brethren were strong
men, Eli'hu, and Semachi'ah.
|
8 |
All these of the sons of O'bed-e'dom:
they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for
the service, were threescore and two of
O'bed-e'dom.
|
9 |
And Meshelemi'ah had sons and brethren,
strong men, eighteen.
|
10 |
Also Hosah, of the children of Mera'ri,
had sons; Simri the chief, (for though he was not the
firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;)
|
11 |
Hilki'ah the second, Tebali'ah the third,
Zechari'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 Shelemi'ah.
Then for Zechari'ah his son, a wise counselor, they cast lots; and
his lot came out northward.
|
15 |
To O'bed-e'dom southward; and to his sons
the house of Asup'pim.
|
16 |
To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came
forth westward, with the gate Shal'lecheth, 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 Asup'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 Kore, and among the sons of
Mera'ri.
|
20 |
And of the Levites, Ahi'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'adan;
the sons of the Ger'shonite La'adan, chief fathers, even of
La'adan the Ger'shonite, were Jehi'eli.
|
22 |
The sons of Jehi'eli; Zetham, and Joel
his brother, which were over the treasures of the house of
the LORD.
|
23 |
Of the Am'ramites, and the
Iz'harites, the He'bronites, and the Uz'zi-elites:
|
24 |
and She'bu-el the son of Gershom, the son
of Moses, was ruler of the treasures.
|
25 |
And his brethren by Eli-e'zer; Rehabi'ah
his son, and Jeshai'ah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his
son, and Shelo'mith his son:
|
26 |
which Shelo'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 Jo'ab the son of
Zeru-i'ah, had dedicated; and whosoever had dedicated any
thing, it was under the hand of Shelo'mith, and of his
brethren.
|
29 |
Of the Iz'harites, Chenani'ah and his
sons were for the outward business over Israel, for officers
and judges.
|
30 |
And of the He'bronites, Hashabi'ah
and his brethren, men of valor, 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 He'bronites was Jeri'jah
the chief, even among the He'bronites, 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 valor at Jazer of Gil'e-ad.
|
32 |
And his brethren, men of valor, were two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king
David made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half
tribe of Manas'seh, for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs
of the king.
