1 The divisions of the gatekeepers. From the Korahites: Meshelemiah son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph.
2 Meshelemiah had sons: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Eliehoenai the seventh.
4 Obed-edom had sons: Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sachar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth,
5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peullethai the eighth; for God had blessed Obed-edom.
6 To his son Shemaiah sons were also born who were rulers in their fathers' house, for they were strong, capable men.
7 The sons of Shemaiah: Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad; his brothers Elihu and Semachiah were capable men.
8 All these were descendants of Obed-edom; they, their sons, and their brothers were capable men, strong for the work: sixty-two from Obed-edom.
9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brothers, capable men, eighteen.
10 Hosah, from the sons of Merari, had sons: Shimri the head (he was not the firstborn, but his father made him head),
11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth. Hosah's sons and brothers totaled thirteen.
12 To these divisions of the gatekeepers, by their leading men, were given duties alongside their brothers, to serve in the house of the LORD.
13 And they cast lots by their fathers' houses for each gate, the small as well as the great.
14 The lot for the east came out for Shelemiah. Then they cast lots for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and his lot came out for the north.
15 For Obed-edom the south, and for his sons the storehouse.
16 For Shuppim and Hosah the west, with the gate of Shallecheth on the ascending road. Watch stood beside watch.
17 There were six Levites daily on the east, four on the north, four on the south, and two and two at the storehouse.
18 At the Parbar on the west, four at the road and two at the Parbar.
19 These were the gatekeepers' divisions among the Korahites and the sons of Merari.
20 And among the Levites, Ahijah had charge of the treasuries of God's house and the treasuries of the consecrated gifts.
21 The sons of Ladan, the Gershonites descended from Ladan, heads of the fathers' houses of Ladan the Gershonite: Jehieli.
22 Jehieli's sons, Zetham and his brother Joel, had charge of the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
23 From the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites:
24 Shebuel son of Gershom, son of Moses, was the officer in charge of the treasuries.
25 His brothers through Eliezer: his son Rehabiah, his son Jeshaiah, his son Joram, his son Zichri, and his son Shelomith.
26 This Shelomoth and his brothers had charge of all the treasuries of the consecrated gifts that King David, the heads of the fathers' houses, the leaders of thousands and hundreds, and the army leaders had consecrated.
27 Out of the battles and out of the plunder they had consecrated gifts for the upkeep of the house of the LORD.
28 Everything that Samuel the seer, Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah had consecrated, all the consecrated gifts, were under the hand of Shelomith and his brothers.
29 From the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were assigned to the external business over Israel, as officials and judges.
30 From the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brothers, seventeen hundred capable men, were responsible for Israel west of the Jordan, for all the LORD's work and for the king's service.
31 Among the Hebronites Jeriah was the head, in the genealogies of the Hebronites by fathers' houses. In the fortieth year of David's reign they were sought out, and strong, capable men were found among them at Jazer in Gilead.
32 And his brothers, capable men, numbered two thousand seven hundred, heads of fathers' houses. King David put them in charge of the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, for every matter of God and every matter of the king.
