1 Chronicles 26:1-32 CEB

[1] The divisions of the gatekeepers: from the Korahites: Meshelemiah, Kore’s son, one of Ebiasaph’s family. [2] Meshelemiah’s family: Zechariah the oldest, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth, [3] Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, and Eliehoenai the seventh. [4] Obed-edom’s family: Shemaiah the oldest, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sachar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth, [5] Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, and Peullethai the eighth. God truly blessed him. [6] To his son Shemaiah were born sons who ruled over their household, because they were valiant men. [7] Shemaiah’s family: Othni, Rephael, Obed, Elzabad, and his relatives, Elihu and Semachiah, who were valiant men. [8] All these were members of Obed-edom’s family, they, their sons, and their relatives. They were valiant and strong in their service, 62 men belonging to Obed-edom. [9] Meshelemiah’s family and relatives, valiant men, numbered 18. [10] Hosah, one of Merari’s family, also had a family: Shimri the first (though he wasn’t the oldest, his father gave him that status), [11] Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, and Zechariah the fourth. All of Hosah’s family and relatives numbered 13. [12] These were the divisions of the gatekeepers with their leaders, who were responsible to minister in the LORD’s temple, along with their relatives. [13] They cast lots for each gate in the same way, whether their household was small or large. [14] The lot for the East Gate fell to Shelemiah. They then cast lots for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and his lot indicated the North Gate. [15] Obed-edom was assigned the South Gate, and his sons were assigned the storehouses. [16] Hosah was assigned the West Gate, that is, the chamber gate on the upper road. The guards had the same task: [17] each day the East had six, the North four, and the South four, with two at each of the storehouses. [18] At the courtyard on the West, there were four at the road and two at the courtyard. [19] These were the divisions of the gatekeepers from Korah’s family and Merari’s family. [20] Their fellow Levites were in charge of the treasuries of God’s temple and the treasuries of the dedicated gifts: [21] from Ladan’s family, the family of the Gershonites belonging to Ladan, and the heads of the households belonging to Ladan the Gershonite: Jehieli. [22] Jehieli’s family: Zetham and Joel his brother were in charge of the treasuries of the LORD’s temple. [23] From the Amramites, Izharites, Hebronites, and Uzzielites: [24] Shebuel, a descendant of Gershom, Moses’ son, was the chief officer in charge of the treasuries. [25] His relatives through Eliezer included his son Rehabiah, his son Jeshaiah, his son Joram, his son Zichri, and his son Shelomoth. [26] This Shelomoth and his relatives were in charge of all the treasuries of the gifts dedicated by King David, by the household leaders, by the commanders of the units of a thousand and a hundred, and by the army officers. [27] They had dedicated some of the valuable objects won in battle to repair the LORD’s temple. [28] Everything that was dedicated by Samuel the seer, as well as by Saul, Kish’s son; Abner, Ner’s son; and Joab, Zeruiah’s son—in fact, anything that had been dedicated—was under the supervision of Shelomoth and his relatives. [29] From the Izharites: Chenaniah and his family had responsibilities over Israel outside the temple as officials and judges. [30] From the Hebronites: Hashabiah and his relatives, 1,700 capable men, were put in charge of Israel west of the Jordan concerning all of the LORD’s affairs and the king’s service. [31] From the Hebronites: Jerijah was the head of the Hebronites according to the family records of their households. In the fortieth year of David’s rule, a search was made and capable men were found among them in Jazer in Gilead. [32] Jerijah’s relatives, capable men, were 2,700 heads of households. King David put them in charge of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh concerning all of God’s and the king’s affairs.
