1Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites was Meshelemiah the son of Kore, 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.

2And the sons of Meshelemiah were, 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, Elioenai the seventh.

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

4Moreover the sons of Obededom were, Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel 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, Peulthai the eighth: for God blessed him.

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

6Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they were mighty men of valour.

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

7The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah.

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

8All 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.

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.

9And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen.

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

10Also 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;)

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, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.

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.

12Among 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.

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

13And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.

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.

14And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counseller, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.

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.

15To Obededom southward; and to his sons the house of Asuppim.

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

16To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward against ward.

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

17Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and toward Asuppim two and two.

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.

18At Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar.

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

19These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore, and among the sons of Merari.

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

20And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of the house of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things.

20Other Levites, led by Ahijah, were in charge of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries of the gifts dedicated to the LORD.

21As concerning the sons of Laadan; the sons of the Gershonite Laadan, chief fathers, even of Laadan the Gershonite, were Jehieli.

21From the family of Libni in the clan of Gershon, Jehiel was the leader.

22The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother, which were over the treasures of the house of the LORD.

22The sons of Jehiel, Zetham and his brother Joel, were in charge of the treasuries of the house of the LORD.

23Of the Amramites, and the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites:

23These are the leaders that descended from Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel:

24And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of the treasures.

24From the clan of Amram, Shebuel was a descendant of Gershom son of Moses. He was the chief officer of the treasuries.

25And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son.

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

26Which 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.

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.

27Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the LORD.

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

28And 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.

28Shelomoth and his relatives also cared for the gifts dedicated to the LORD by Samuel the seer, Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah. All the other dedicated gifts were in their care, too.

29Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward business over Israel, for officers and judges.

29From the clan of Izhar came Kenaniah. He and his sons were given administrative responsibilities over Israel as officials and judges.

30And 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.

30From the clan of Hebron came Hashabiah. He and his relatives—1,700 capable men—were put in charge of the Israelite lands west of the Jordan River. They were responsible for all matters related to the things of the LORD and the service of the king in that area.

31Among 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.

31Also from the clan of Hebron came Jeriah, who was the leader of the Hebronites according to the genealogical records. (In the fortieth year of David’s reign, a search was made in the records, and capable men from the clan of Hebron were found at Jazer in the land of Gilead.)

32And 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.

32There were 2,700 capable men among the relatives of Jeriah. King David sent them to the east side of the Jordan River and put them in charge of the tribes of Reuben and Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh. They were responsible for all matters related to God and to the king.
