-
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.
02 Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their
possessions in their cities were, the Israelites,
the priests, Levites, and the Nethinims.
03 And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of
Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of
the children of Ephraim, and Manasseh;
04 Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the
son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the children of
Pharez the son of Judah.
05 And of the Shilonites; Asaiah the firstborn,
and his sons.
06 And of the sons of Zerah; Jeuel, and their
brethren, six hundred and ninety.
07 And of the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the son of
Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of
Hasenuah,
08 And Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the
son of Uzzi, the son of Michri, and Meshullam the
son of Shephathiah, the son of Reuel, the son of
Ibnijah;
09 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; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib,
and Jachin,
11 And Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of
Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth,
the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God;
12 And Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of
Pashur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasiai the son
of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of
Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, 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; Shemaiah the son of
Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of
Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;
15 And Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and
Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri,
the son of Asaph;
16 And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of
Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son
of Asa, the son of Elkanah, that dwelt in the
villages of the Netophathites.
17 And the porters were, Shallum, and Akkub, and
Talmon, and Ahiman, 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
Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of
the house of his father, the Korahites, 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 Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler
over them in time past, and the Lord was with
him.
21 And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah 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 Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was
the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the
set office over the things that were made in the
pans.
32 And other of their brethren, of the sons of
the Kohathites, were over the shewbread, 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.
35 And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon,
Jehiel, whose wife's name was Maachah:
36 And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and
Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab.
37 And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and
Mikloth.
38 And Mikloth begat Shimeam. 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 Malchishua, and
Abinadab, and Eshbaal.
40 And the son of Jonathan was Meribbaal: and
Meribbaal begat Micah.
41 And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and
Melech, and Tahrea, and Ahaz.
42 And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth,
and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;
43 And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son,
Eleasah his son, Azel his son.
44 And Azel had six sons, whose names are these,
Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and
Obadiah, and Hanan: these were the sons of Azel.
