New Living Translation

1The following were the divisions of the gatekeepers: From the Korahites: Meshelemiah son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph.

1These are the divisions of the gatekeepers: From the Korahites, there was Meshelemiah son of Kore, of the family of Abiasaph.

2Meshelemiah had sons: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,

2The sons of Meshelemiah were Zechariah (the oldest), Jediael (the second), Zebadiah (the third), Jathniel (the fourth),

3Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, and Eliehoenai the seventh.

3Elam (the fifth), Jehohanan (the sixth), and Eliehoenai (the seventh).

4Obed-edom also had sons: Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sachar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth,

4The sons of Obed-edom, also gatekeepers, were Shemaiah (the oldest), Jehozabad (the second), Joah (the third), Sacar (the fourth), Nethanel (the fifth),

5Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, and Peullethai the eighth, for God blessed him.

5Ammiel (the sixth), Issachar (the seventh), and Peullethai (the eighth). God had richly blessed Obed-edom.

6Also, to his son Shemaiah were born sons who ruled over their ancestral houses because they were strong, capable men.

6Obed-edom’s son Shemaiah had sons with great ability who earned positions of great authority in the clan.

7Shemaiah's sons: Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad; his brothers Elihu and Semachiah were also capable men.

7Their names were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad. Their relatives, Elihu and Semakiah, were also very capable men.

8All of these were among the sons of Obed-edom with their sons and brothers; they were capable men with strength for the work--62 from Obed-edom.

8All of these descendants of Obed-edom, including their sons and grandsons—sixty-two of them in all—were very capable men, well qualified for their work.

9Meshelemiah also had sons and brothers who were capable men--18.

9Meshelemiah’s eighteen sons and relatives were also very capable men.

10Hosah, from the Merarites, also had sons: Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father had appointed him as the first),

10Hosah, of the Merari clan, appointed Shimri as the leader among his sons, though he was not the oldest.

11Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, and Zechariah the fourth. The sons and brothers of Hosah were 13 in all.

11His other sons included Hilkiah (the second), Tebaliah (the third), and Zechariah (the fourth). Hosah’s sons and relatives, who served as gatekeepers, numbered thirteen in all.

12These divisions of the gatekeepers, under their leading men, had duties for ministering in the LORD's temple, just as their brothers did.

12These divisions of the gatekeepers were named for their family leaders, and like the other Levites, they served at the house of the LORD.

13They cast lots for each gate according to their ancestral houses, young and old alike.

13They were assigned by families for guard duty at the various gates, without regard to age or training, for it was all decided by means of sacred lots.

14The lot for the east gate fell to Shelemiah. They also cast lots for his son Zechariah, an insightful counselor, and his lot came out for the north gate.

14The responsibility for the east gate went to Meshelemiah and his group. The north gate was assigned to his son Zechariah, a man of unusual wisdom.

15Obed-edom's was the south gate, and his sons lot was for the storehouses;

15The south gate went to Obed-edom, and his sons were put in charge of the storehouse.

16it was the west gate and the gate of Shallecheth on the ascending highway for Shuppim and Hosah. There were guards stationed at every watch.

16Shuppim and Hosah were assigned the west gate and the gateway leading up to the Temple. Guard duties were divided evenly.

17There were six Levites each day on the east, four each day on the north, four each day on the south, and two pair at the storehouses.

17Six Levites were assigned each day to the east gate, four to the north gate, four to the south gate, and two pairs at the storehouse.

18As for the court on the west, there were four at the highway and two at the court.

18Six were assigned each day to the west gate, four to the gateway leading up to the Temple, and two to the courtyard.

19Those were the divisions of the gatekeepers from the sons of the Korahites and Merarites.

19These were the divisions of the gatekeepers from the clans of Korah and Merari. Treasurers and Other Officials

20From the Levites, Ahijah was in charge of the treasuries of God's temple and the treasuries of what had been dedicated.

25His relatives through Eliezer were Rehabiah, Jeshaiah, Joram, Zicri, and Shelomoth.

26This Shelomith and his brothers were in charge of all the treasuries of what had been dedicated by King David, by the heads of families who were the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and by the army commanders.

26Shelomoth and his relatives were in charge of the treasuries containing the gifts that King David, the family leaders, and the generals and captains and other officers of the army had dedicated to the LORD.

27They dedicated part of the plunder from their battles for the repair of the LORD's temple.

27These men dedicated some of the plunder they had gained in battle to maintain the house of the LORD.

28All that Samuel the seer, Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah had dedicated, along with everything else that had been dedicated, were in the care of Shelomith and his brothers.
