1 Chronicles 9
Those Who Returned
from Babylon |
Neh. 11.1-24 |
1 |
So all Israel were reckoned by
genealogies; and, behold, they were written in the book of
the kings of Israel and Judah, who were carried away to
Babylon for their transgression.
|
2 |
Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their cities were, the
Israelites, the priests, Levites, and the Neth'inim.
|
3 |
And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of
Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of
E'phra-im, and Manas'seh; Ezra 2.70 · Neh. 7.73
|
4 |
U'thai the son of Ammi'hud, the son of
Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the children of Pharez
the son of Judah.
|
5 |
And of the Shi'lonites; Asai'ah the
firstborn, and his sons.
|
6 |
And of the sons of Zerah; Jeu'el, and
their brethren, six hundred and ninety.
|
7 |
And of the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the
son of Meshul'lam, the son of Hodavi'ah, the son of
Hasenu'ah,
|
8 |
and Ibnei'ah the son of Jero'ham, and
Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri, and Meshul'lam the son of
Shephati'ah, the son of Reu'el, the son of Ibni'jah;
|
9 |
and their brethren, according to their
generations, nine hundred and fifty and six. All these men were chief of the fathers in the house of their
fathers.
|
10 |
And of the priests; Jedai'ah, and
Jehoi'arib, and Jachin,
|
11 |
and Azari'ah the son of Hilki'ah, the son
of Meshul'lam, the son of Zadok, the son of Merai'oth, the son of
Ahi'tub, the ruler of the house of God;
|
12 |
and Adai'ah the son of Jero'ham, the son
of Pashur, the son of Malchi'jah, and Ma-asi'ai the son of Ad'i-el,
the son of Jahze'rah, the son of Meshul'lam, the son of
Meshil'lemith, the son of Immer;
|
13 |
and their brethren, heads of the house of
their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very
able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
|
14 |
And of the Levites; Shemai'ah the son
of Hasshub, the son of Az'rikam, the son of Hashabi'ah, of the sons
of Mera'ri;
|
15 |
and Bakbak'kar, Heresh, and Galal, and
Mattani'ah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of
Asaph;
|
16 |
and Obadi'ah the son of Shemai'ah, the
son of Galal, the son of Jedu'thun, and Berechi'ah the son of Asa,
the son of Elka'nah, that dwelt in the villages of the
Netoph'athites.
|
17 |
And the porters were, Shallum,
and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahi'man, and their brethren: Shallum was the chief;
|
18 |
who hitherto waited in the king's
gate eastward: they were porters in the companies of the
children of Levi.
|
19 |
And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of
Ebi'asaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his
father, the Ko'rahites, were over the work of the service,
keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the host of the LORD, were keepers of the entry.
|
20 |
And Phin'ehas the son of Ele-a'zar was
the ruler over them in time past, and the LORD was with him.
|
21 |
And Zechari'ah the son of
Meshelemi'ah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
|
22 |
All these which were chosen to be
porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were
reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel
the seer did ordain in their set office.
|
23 |
So they and their children had the
oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by
wards.
|
24 |
In four quarters were the porters, toward
the east, west, north, and south.
|
25 |
And their brethren, which were in
their villages, were to come after seven days from time to
time with them.
|
26 |
For these Levites, the four chief
porters, were in their set office, and were over the chambers
and treasuries of the house of God.
|
27 |
And they lodged round about the house of
God, because the charge was upon them, and the opening
thereof every morning pertained to them.
|
28 |
And certain of them had the
charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in
and out by tale.
|
29 |
Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of the
sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the
frankincense, and the spices.
|
30 |
And some of the sons of the
priests made the ointment of the spices.
|
31 |
And Mattithi'ah, one of the
Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Ko'rahite, had
the set office over the things that were made in the pans.
|
32 |
And other of their brethren, of
the sons of the Ko'hathites, were over the showbread, to
prepare it every sabbath.
|
33 |
And these are the singers, chief
of the fathers of the Levites, who remaining in the chambers were free: for they were employed in that work day and
night.
|
34 |
These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at
Jerusalem.
|
The Genealogy of
Saul |
35 |
And in Gibeon dwelt the father of
Gibeon, Jehi'el, whose wife's name was Ma'achah:
|
36 |
and his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur,
and Kish, and Ba'al, and Ner, and Nadab,
|
37 |
and Gedor, and Ahi'o, and Zechari'ah, and
Mikloth.
|
38 |
And Mikloth begat Shim'e-am. And they
also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, over against their
brethren.
|
39 |
And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul;
and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchi-shu'a, and Abin'adab, and
Esh-ba'al.
|
40 |
And the son of Jonathan was Merib-ba'al: and Merib-ba'al begat Micah.
|
41 |
And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tahre'a, and Ahaz.
|
42 |
And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat
Al'emeth, and Azma'veth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;
|
43 |
and Moza begat Bin'e-a; and Rephai'ah his
son, Ele-a'sah his son, Azel his son.
|
44 |
And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Az'rikam, Bo'cheru, and Ish'ma-el, and She-ari'ah,
and Obadi'ah, and Hanan. These were the sons of
Azel.
