1 Chronicles - ch 26 v 1 - 20
- For the divisions of the door-keepers: of the Korahites, Meshelemiah, the son of Kore, of the sons of Ebiasaph.
- And Meshelemiah had sons: Zechariah the oldest, 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 oldest, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethanel the fifth,
- Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peullethai the eighth; for the blessing of God was on him.
- And Shemaiah his son had sons, rulers over the family of their father, for they were able men.
- The sons of Shemaiah: Othni and Rephael and Obed, Elzabad, whose brothers were great men of war, Elihu and Semachiah.
- All these were sons of Obed-edom: they and their sons and their brothers, able men and strong for the work; sixty-two sons of Obed-edom.
- Meshelemiah had sons and brothers, eighteen able men.
- And Hosah, a son of the children of Merari, had sons: Shimri the chief (for though he was not the oldest, his father made him chief);
- Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: Hosah had thirteen sons and brothers.
- Of these were the divisions of the door-keepers, men of authority, having responsible positions like their brothers to be servants in the house of the Lord.
- And the families were taken by the decision of the Lord for every door; the small family had the same chance as the great.
- And the care of the door on the east came out for Shelemiah. Then the name of Zechariah his son, a man wise in discussion, came out, and the door on the north was given to him.
- To Obed-edom, that on the south; and to his sons, the store-house.
- To Hosah, the door on the west, by the door of Shallecheth, at the footway which goes up, watch by watch.
- On the east were six Levites a day, and on the north and the south four a day, and for the store-house two and two.
- For the pillared way, on the west, four at the footway and two at the pillared way itself.
- These were the divisions of door-keepers, of the sons of the Korahites and of the sons of Merari.
- And the Levites their brothers were responsible for the stores of the house of God and the holy things.
