Concerning the divisions of the gatekeepers: of the Qorchim, Meshelemyahu son of Qore, from the sons of Asaf.
2
Meshelemyahu had sons: Zekharyahu the firstborn, Yediael the second, Zevadyahu the third, Yatniel the fourth,
3
Elam the fifth, Yehochanan the sixth, Elyehoenai the seventh.
4
Oved-Edom had sons: Shemayah the firstborn, Yehozavad the second, Yoach the third, Sakhar the fourth, Netanel the fifth,
5
Ammiel the sixth, Yissakhar the seventh, Peulletai the eighth—for the Elohim blessed him.
6
To Shemayah his son were born sons who governed their father-house, for they were mighty ones of strength.
7
The sons of Shemayah: Otni, Refael, Oved, and Elzavad; his brothers, sons of strength: Elihu and Semakhyahu.
8
All these were of the sons of Oved-Edom—they and their sons and their brothers, each an ish of strength with power for the service—sixty-two for Oved-Edom.
9
Meshelemyahu had sons and brothers, sons of strength, eighteen.
10
Chosah of the sons of Merari had sons: Shimri the head—for though he was not firstborn, his father made him head—
11
Chilqiyahu the second, Tevalyahu the third, Zekharyahu the fourth. All the sons and brothers of Chosah were thirteen.
12
To these were the divisions of the gatekeepers, according to the heads of the mighty ones, having charges corresponding to their brothers, to minister in the House of Yahuah.
13
They cast lots, small as great, according to their father-houses, for gate by gate.
14
The lot eastward fell to Shelemyahu. For Zekharyahu his son, a counselor with discernment, they cast lots, and his lot came out northward.
15
For Oved-Edom, southward; and for his sons, the house of storehouses.
16
For Shuppim and Chosah, westward, with the Shallekhet Gate by the ascending highway, charge corresponding to charge.
17
Eastward were six Leviyim; northward, four for the day; southward, four for the day; and at the storehouses, two by two.
18
At the Parbar westward, four at the highway and two at the Parbar.
19
These were the divisions of the gatekeepers for the sons of the Qorchi and for the sons of Merari.
20
Of the Leviyim, Achiyah was over the treasuries of the House of the Elohim and over the treasuries of the set-apart gifts.
21
The sons of Ladan, sons of the Gershuni belonging to Ladan, heads of the father-houses belonging to Ladan the Gershuni: Yechieli.
22
The sons of Yechieli, Zetam and Yoel his brother, were over the treasuries of the House of Yahuah.
23
Of the Amrami, the Yitzhari, the Chevroni, and the Uzzieli:
24
Shevuel son of Gershom, son of Mosheh, was ruler over the treasuries.
25
His brothers through Eliezer: Rechavyahu his son, Yeshayahu his son, Yoram his son, Zikhri his son, and Shəlomot his son.
26
This Shəlomot and his brothers were over all the treasuries of the set-apart gifts that King Daviyd, the heads of the father-houses, the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and the commanders of the army had set apart.
27
From the wars and from the spoil they set apart to strengthen the House of Yahuah.
28
And everything Shemu’el the seer, Shaul son of Qish, Avner son of Ner, and Yoav son of Tzeruyah had set apart—everything set apart was under the hand of Shəlomit and his brothers.
29
Of the Yitzhari: Kenanyahu and his sons were for the outside work over Yisra’el, as officers and judges.
30
Of the Chevroni: Chashavyahu and his brothers, sons of strength, one thousand seven hundred, were over the enrollment of Yisra’el beyond the Yarden westward, for every work of Yahuah and for the service of the king.
31
Of the Chevroni, Yeriyah was the head of the Chevroni according to his generations, according to the fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of Daviyd they were sought, and mighty ones of strength were found among them at Yazer of Gilad.
32
His brothers, sons of strength, were two thousand seven hundred heads of the father-houses. King Daviyd appointed them over the Reuveni, the Gadi, and the half-tribe of the Menashshi, for every matter of the Elohim and matter of the king.
