1 Chronicles - ch 26 v 1 - 20
- For the courses of the gatekeepers: of the Korhites `is' Meshelemiah son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph;
- and to Meshelemiah `are' sons, Zechariah the first-born, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
- Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh.
- And to Obed-Edom `are' sons, Shemaiah the first-born, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth,
- Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peullethai the eighth, for God hath blessed him.
- And to Shemaiah his son have sons been born, who are ruling throughout the house of their father, for they `are' mighty of valour.
- Sons of Shemaiah `are' Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad; his brethren `are' sons of valour, Elihu and Semachiah,
- all these `are' of the sons of Obed-Edom; they, and their sons, and their brethren, men of valour with might for service, `are' sixty and two of Obed-Edom.
- And to Meshelemiah `are' sons and brethren, sons of valour, eighteen;
- and to Hosah, of the sons of Merari, `are' sons: Shimri the head (though he was not first-born, yet his father setteth him for head),
- Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth; all the sons and brethren of Hosah `are' thirteen.
- According to these `are' the courses of the gatekeepers; to the heads of the mighty ones `are' charges over-against their brethren, to minister in the house of Jehovah,
- and they cause to fall lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for gate and gate.
- And the lot falleth eastward to Shelemiah; and `for' Zechariah his son -- a counsellor with understanding -- they cause to fall lots, and his lot goeth out northward:
- to Obed-Edom southward, and to his sons, the house of the gatherings;
- to Shuppim and to Hosah to the west, with the gate Shallecheth, in the highway, the ascent, charge over-against charge;
- to the east the Levites `are' six; to the north daily four, to the south daily four, and to the gatherings two by two,
- at Parbar, to the west, `are' four at the highway, two at Parbar.
- These are the courses of the gatekeepers, of the sons of the Korhite, and of the sons of Merari.
- And of the Levites, Ahijah `is' over the treasures of the house of God, even for the treasures of the holy things.
