1 Chronicles - ch 26 v 1 - 20
- The divisions of the doorkeepers. Of the Korahites: Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.
- And Meshelemiah had sons: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
- Elam the fifth, Johanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh.
- -- And the sons of Obed-Edom: Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth,
- Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth: for God had blessed him.
- And to Shemaiah his son were sons born, who were rulers in their father's house; for they were mighty men of valour.
- The sons of Shemaiah: Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, and 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, were sixty-two of Obed-Edom.
- -- And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, men of valour, eighteen.
- -- And Hosah, of the sons of Merari, had sons: Shimri the head, for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the head;
- Hilkijah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.
- Among these were the divisions of the doorkeepers, among the head-men, as to the charges together with their brethren, for performing the service in the house of Jehovah.
- And they cast lots, the small as well as the great, according to their fathers' houses, for every gate.
- And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah; and they cast lots for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, and his lot came out northward;
- to Obed-Edom southward; and to his sons the storehouse.
- To Shuppim and Hosah westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the ascent, watch against watch.
- Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and in the storehouse two and two.
- At the portico westward, four at the causeway, two at the portico.
- These are the divisions of the doorkeepers among the sons of the Korahites and among the sons of Merari.
- And the Levites: Ahijah was over the treasures of the house of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things.
