10 Of Hosah, of the sons of Merari: Simri, the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief)
11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah, the third, Zechariah, the fourth; all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.
12 Among these were the divisions of the porters, even among the chief men, having wards one against another two by two, to minister in the house of the Lord.
13 And they cast lots, the small as well as the great, according to the houses of their fathers, for each gate.
14 And the lot of the east fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah, his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out for the north.
15 To Obededom towards the Negev; and to his sons the house of consultation.
