1 Chronicles 26

26 The divisions of warders were as follows. Of the Korahites, Meshelemiah the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph; 2 Meshelemiah's sons were Zechariah the eldest, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth, 3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, and Eliehoenai the seventh. 4 Obed-edom's sons (for God blessed him with sons) were Shemaiah the eldest, Jehozabad the second, Joab the third, Sakar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth, 5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, and Peullethai the eighth; 6 Shemaiah his son was also the father of sons who ruled their ancestral family, for they were sturdy men—7 Othni, Rephael, Obed, Elzabad and his two brothers Elihu and Semachiah, men of might; 8 all these belonged to Obed-edom's family, they and their sons and their fellows from Obed-edom amounting to sixty-two members of the service, stout, competent men. 9 (Meshelemiah had eighteen sons and fellows, sturdy men.) 10 Hosa the Merarite had also sons, Shimri being headman (for his father made him headman, though he was not the eldest), 11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, and Zecharlah the fourth, Hosa's sons and fellows numbering thirteen. 12 These provided the divisions of the warders, headmen who had the same duties as their fellows in the service of the temple of the Eternal. 13 They cast lots, young and old alike, by their families, for each gate. 14 The lot for the east gate fell to Meshelemiah; then lots were cast for his son Zechariah, a shrewd councillor,

and to him fell the north gate, 15 to Obed-edom the south gate (his sons being assigned the storehouse), 16 and to Hosa the west gate (beside the entry at the ascent) with its wards. 17 Six Levites were on duty daily eastward, four northward, four southward, two at each door of the storehouse, 18 and at the western colonnade of the Annexe, four at the causeway and two at the colonnade itself. 19 Such were the divisions of the warders, Korahites and Merarites. 20 As for their fellow-Levites who supervised the stores of the temple of God and the stores of votive offerings—21 JeMel, and his brothers Zetham and Joel, headmen of the Ladanite family, 22 descendants of the Gershonites through Ladan, supervised the stores of the temple of the Eternal. 23 Of the Amramites, Izharites, Hebronites, and Uzzielites, 24 Shubael son of Gershom, son of Moses, managed the storehouses; 25 his kinsmen were Eliezer's sons Rehabiah, Jeshaiah, Joram, Zichri, and Shelomoth. 26 This Shelomoth and his brothers were in charge of all the store of votive offerings made by David the king and the headmen, the generals, commanders, and army captains; anything thus dedicated was in charge of Shelomoth and his brothers. 27 Part of the plunder taken in battle had been dedicated for the upkeep of the temple of the Eternal; 28 and all that had been dedicated by Samuel the seer, by Saul the son of Kish, by Abner the son of Ner, and by Joab the son of Zeruiah, everything thus dedicated was in charge of Shelomoth and his brothers. 29 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons acted as sheriffs and judges, managing the external affairs of Israel. 30 Of the Hebronites, Hashablah and his fellows, one thousand seven hundred braves, were in charge of Israel west of the Jordan, attending to all the interests of the Eternal and to the service of the king.31-32 31-32The Hebronites were led by Jerijah; he and his fellows amounted to two thousand seven hundred braves, headmen whom David had appointed over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-clan of Manasseh, to look after all the affairs of God and the business of the king. (The various families of the Hebronites were picked out in the fortieth year of David's reign, when brave warriors in their number were found at Jazer in Gilead.)
