Concerning
the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites was
Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of
Asaph.
02 And the sons of Meshelemiah were, Zechariah
the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the
third, Jathniel the fourth,
03 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai
the seventh.
04 Moreover the sons of Obededom were, Shemaiah
the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the
third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the
fifth.
05 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh,
Peulthai the eighth: for God blessed him.
06 Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born,
that ruled throughout the house of their father:
for they were mighty men of valour.
07 The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and
Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren were strong men,
Elihu, and Semachiah.
08 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.
09 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.
