Verse
1 Chronicles - ch 26 v 1 - 20
- For the courses of the doorkeepers: of the Korahites, Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.
- And Meshelemiah had sons: Zechariah the first-born, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
- Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Eliehoenai the seventh.
- And Obed-edom had sons: Shemaiah the first-born, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethanel the fifth,
- Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peullethai the eighth; for God blessed him.
- Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled over the house of their father; for they were mighty men of valor.
- The sons of Shemaiah: Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren were valiant men, Elihu, and Semachiah.
- All these were of the sons of Obed-edom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men in strength for the service; threescore and two of Obed-edom.
- And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, valiant men, eighteen.
- Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons: Shimri the chief, (for though he was not the first-born, yet his father made him chief),
- Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.
- Of these were the courses of the doorkeepers, even of the chief men, having offices like their brethren, to minister in the house of Jehovah.
- And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to their fathers' houses, for every gate.
- And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a discreet counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.
- To Obed-edom southward; and to his sons the store-house.
- To Shuppim and Hosah westward, by the gate of Shallecheth, at the causeway that goeth up, watch against watch.
- Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and for the store-house two and two.
- For Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar.
- These were the courses of the doorkeepers; of the sons of the Korahites, and of the sons of Merari.
- And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of the house of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things.
