Verse
1 Chronicles - ch 26 v 1 - 20
- And the divisions of the porters: of the Corites Meselemia, the son of Core, of the sons of Asaph.
- The sons of Meselemia: Zacharias the firstborn, Jadihel the second, Zabadias the third, Jathanael the fourth,
- Elam the fifth, Johanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh.
- And the sons of Obededom, Semeias the firstborn, Jozabad the second, Joaha the third, Sachar the fourth, Nathanael the fifth,
- Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Phollathi the eighth: for the Lord had blessed him.
- And to Semei his son were born sons, herds of their families: for they were men of great valour.
- The sons then of Semeias were Othni, and Raphael, and Obed, Elizabad, and his brethren most valiant men: and Eliu, and Samachias.
- All these of the sons of Obededom: they, and their sons, and their brethren most able men for service, sixty-two of Obededom.
- And the sons of Meselemia, and their brethren strong men, were eighteen.
- And of Hosa, that is, of the sons of Merari: Semri the chief, (for he had not a firstborn, and therefore his father made him chief.)
- Helcias the second, Tabelias the third, Zacharias the fourth: all these the sons, and the brethren of Hosa, were thirteen.
- Among these were the divisions of the porters, so that the chiefs of the wards, as well as their brethren, always ministered in the house of the Lord.
- And they cast lots equally, both little and great, by their families for every one of the gates.
- And the lot of the east fell to Selemias. But to his son Zacharias, a very wise and learned man, the north gate fell by lot.
- And to Obededom and his sons that towards the south: in which part of the house was the council of the ancients.
- To Sephim, and Hosa towards the west, by the gate which leadeth to the way of the ascent: ward against ward.
- Now towards the east were six Levites: and towards the north four a day: and towards the south likewise four a day: and where the council was, two and two.
- In the cells also of the porters toward the west four in the way: and two at every cell.
- These are the divisions of the porters of the sons of Core, and of Merari.
- Now Achias was over the treasures of the house of God, and the holy vessels.
