1 Chronicles 26

1 Chronicles Chapter 26 KJV

1The divisions of the porters. 13The gates assigned by lot. 20The Levites that had charge of the treasures. 29Those that were officers and judges.
1 Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of 1the Korhites was aMeshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of bAsaph.
2 And the sons of 1Meshelemiah 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 1Obed-edom 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 ahim.
6 Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they were 1mighty 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 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 1Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen.
10 Also 1Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father 2made 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 1cast lots, aas well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.
14 And the lot eastward fell to aShelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.
15 To 1Obed-edom southward; and to his sons the house of aAsuppim.
16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the 1causeway 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 1sons of Kore, and among the sons of Merari.
20 ¶ And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the 1treasures of the house of God, and over the treasures of the adedicated things.
21 as concerning the sons of aLaadan; the sons of the Gershonite Laadan, chief fathers, even of Laadan the Gershonite, were bJehieli.
22 The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother, which were over the 1treasures of the house of the Lord.
23 Of the 1Amramites, and the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites:
24 And 1Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of the treasures.
25 And his brethren by 1Eliezer; 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 1David the king, and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the host, had 2dedicated.
27 aOut of the spoils won in battles did they 1dedicate 2to maintain the house of the Lord.
28 And all that 1Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and 2Abner the son of Ner, and 3Joab 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 1Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were for 2the outward business over Israel, for officers and judges.
30 and of the 1Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, men of valour, a thousand and seven hundred, were aofficers 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 1Jerijah the chief, even among the Hebronites, according to the generations of his fathers. In the 2fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought for, and there were found among them mighty men of valour at 3Jazer of Gilead.
32 And his brethren, 1men of valour, were two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David made rulers over 2the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for every matter 3pertaining to God, and aaffairs of the king.
