The People of Jerusalem

1And all Israel was reckoned, and behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. And Judah was removed to Babylon for their trespass.

2And the first dwellers who were in their possessions in their cities of Israel were the priests, the Levites, and the Nethinim.†

3And in Jerusalem dwelt some of the sons of Judah, and some of the sons of Benjamin, and some of the sons of Ephraim and Manasseh:

4Uthai son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani of Perez son of Judah.

5And of the Shilonite:

Asaiah the firstborn and his sons.

6And of the sons of Zerah:

Jeuel and their brothers, six hundred and ninety.

7And of the sons of Benjamin:

Sallu son of Meshullam, son of Hodaviah, son of Senuah;

8and Ibneiah son of Jeroham;

and Elah son of Uzzi, son of Michri;

and Meshullam son of Shephatiah, son of Reuel, son of Ibnijah;

9and their brothers according to their generations—nine hundred and fifty-six. All these men were heads of fathers according to the house of their fathers.

10And of the priests:

Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin;

11and Azariah son of Hilkiah, son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub, leader in the house of God;

12and Adaiah son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, son of Malchijah;

and Maasai son of Adiel, son of Jahzerah, son of Meshullam, son of Meshillemoth,† son of Immer;

13and their brothers, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and sixty mighty of valor for the work of the service of the house of God.

14And of the Levites:

Shemaiah son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;

15and Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah son of Micha, son of Zichri, son of Asaph;

16and Obadiah son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun;

and Berechiah son of Asa, son of Elkanah, who dwelt in the villages of the Netophathite.

17And the gatekeepers:

Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brothers.

Shallum was the chief; 18and until then at the Gate of the King on the east they had been the gatekeepers for the camps of the sons of Levi. 19And Shallum son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph,† son of Korah, and his brothers from the house of his father, the Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tabernacle—and their fathers were over the camp of YHWH, keepers of the entrance.

20And Phinehas son of Eleazar had been the officer over them formerly; YHWH was with him.

21Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was keeper of the door of the Tent of Meeting.

22All those chosen for gatekeepers at the thresholds were two hundred and twelve. They in their villages were reckoned—David and Samuel the seer had appointed them to their trusted office.

23And they and their children were over the gates of the house of YHWH, even of the house of the tabernacle, by watches. 24On the four sides were the gatekeepers: The east, west, north, and south. 25And their brothers in their villages were to come in for seven days from time to time with these. 26For in office were four chief gatekeepers; they were Levites, and they were over the chambers and over the treasuries of the house of God. 27And around the house of God they lodged, because on them was the watch. And they were over the opening morning by morning.

28And some of them were in charge of the vessels of service, for by number they brought them in and by number they took them out. 29And some of them were appointed over the vessels and over all the vessels of the sanctuary, and over the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices. 30And some of the sons of the priests were mixing the ointment of the spices.

31And Mattithiah of the Levites (he was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite) was entrusted over the work of the flat cakes. 32And some of the sons of the Kohathites from their brothers were over the bread of the arrangement, to prepare it Sabbath by Sabbath.

33And these singers, the heads of fathers of the Levites in the chambers, were free, for by day and by night they were over them in the work. 34These the heads of the fathers of the Levites throughout their generations were heads; these dwelt in Jerusalem.

The Descendants of Saul

35And at Gibeon dwelt the father† of Gibeon, Jeiel, and the name of his wife was Maacah,

36and His firstborn son was Abdon, and Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab, 37and Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.

38And Mikloth begat Shimeam.† And they also dwelt alongside their brothers in Jerusalem with their brothers.

39And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Esh-baal.

40And a son of Jonathan:

Merib-baal, and Merib-baal begat Micah.

41And the sons of Micah:

Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, and Ahaz.†

42And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah† begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza; 43and Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah† was his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son.

44And unto Azel were six sons, and these their names:

Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan. These were the sons of Azel.
