1 Chronicles 26 ISR98

1 For the divisions of the gatekeepers: Of the Qorḥites, Meshelemyahu son of Qorĕ, of the sons of Asaph.

2 And the sons of Meshelemyahu: Zeḵaryahu the first-born, Yeḏiya’ĕl the second, Zeḇaḏyahu the third, Yathni’ĕl the fourth,

3 Ěylam the fifth, Yehoḥanan the sixth, Elyo‛ĕynai the seventh.

4 And the sons of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom: Shemayah the first-born, Yehozaḇaḏ the second, Yo’aḥ the third, Saḵar the fourth, Nethanĕ’l the fifth,

5 Ammi’ĕl the sixth, Yissasḵar the seventh, Pe‛ullethai the eighth, for Elohim blessed him.

6 Also to Shemayah his son were sons born who ruled their fathers’ houses, because they were able mighty men.

7 The sons of Shemayah: Othni, and Repha’ĕl, and Oḇĕḏ, Elzaḇaḏ, whose brothers Elihu and Semaḵyahu were able men.

8 All these were of the sons of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom, they and their sons and their brothers, able men with strength for the work: sixty-two of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom.

9 And Meshelemyahu had sons and brothers, eighteen able men.

10 Also Ḥosah, of the children of Merari, had sons: Shimri the head (although he was not the first-born, his father made him the head),

11 Ḥilqiyahu the second, Teḇalyahu the third, Zeḵaryahu the fourth. All the sons and brothers of Ḥosah were thirteen.

12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, among the chief men, had duties like their brothers, to serve in the House of יהוה.

13 And they cast lots for each gate, the small as well as the great, according to their father’s house.

14 And the lot to the east fell to Shelemyahu. Then they cast lots for his son Zeḵaryahu, a wise counsellor, and his lot came out to the north;

15 to Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom to the south, and to his sons the storehouse;

16 to Shuppim and Ḥosah to the west, with the Shalleḵeth Gate on the ascending highway; guard corresponding with guard.

17 On the east were six Lĕwites, on the north four each day, on the south four each day, and for the storehouse two by two.

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

19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers among the sons of Qoraḥ and among the sons of Merari.

20 And of the Lĕwites, Aḥiyah was over the treasuries of the House of Elohim and over the treasuries of the set-apart gifts.

21 The sons of La‛dan, the sons of the Gĕrshonites of La‛dan, heads of their fathers’ houses, of La‛dan the Gĕrshonite: Yeḥi’ĕli.

22 The sons of Yeḥi’ĕli, Zĕtham and Yo’ĕl his brother, were over the treasuries of the House of יהוה.

23 Of the Amramites, the Yitsharites, the Ḥeḇronites, and the Uzzi’ĕlites,

24 even Sheḇu’ĕl son of Gĕreshom, son of Mosheh, was overseer of the treasuries.

25 And his brothers by Eli‛ezer were Reḥaḇyahu his son, and Yeshayahu his son, and Yoram his son, and Ziḵri his son, and Shelomoth his son.

26 This Shelomoth and his brothers were over all the treasuries of the set-apart gifts which Sovereign Dawiḏ and the heads of fathers’ houses, the commanders over thousands and hundreds, and the commanders of the army, had set apart.

27 Some of the booty won in battles they set apart to maintain the House of יהוה.

28 And all that Shemu’ĕl the seer, and Sha’ul son of Qish, and Aḇnĕr son of Nĕr, and Yo’aḇ son of Tseruyah had set apart, all who were setting apart, were under the hand of Shelomith and his brothers.

29 Of the Yitsharites, Kenanyahu and his sons were for the outward duties as officials and judges over Yisra’ĕl.

30 Of the Ḥeḇronites, Ḥashaḇyahu and his brothers, one thousand seven hundred able men, had the oversight of Yisra’ĕl beyond the Yardĕn westward, for all the work of יהוה, and in the service of the sovereign.

31 Of the Ḥeḇronites, Yeriyah was head of the Ḥeḇronites according to his genealogy of the fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of Dawiḏ they were sought, and there were found among them able men at Ya‛zĕr of Gil‛aḏ.

32 And his brothers were two thousand seven hundred able men, heads of fathers’ houses, whom Sovereign Dawiḏ made officials over the Re’uḇĕnites, and the Gaḏites, and the half-tribe of Menashsheh, in all matters of Elohim and matters of the sovereign.
