26:1The guards of doorway of temple

Full kingdom

26These were the division of the gatekeepers:

8All those descendants of Oved-Edom and their sons and relatives were capable people and strong workers. Altogether there were 62 of them.

12Those men were leaders of the groups of men who guarded the gates of the temple. They worked in Yahweh’s temple like their relatives did. 13They used lots to assign each family to a particular gate, irrespective of the family reputation. 14Shelemyah’s group was allocated to the eastern gate, and his son Zekaryah (a wise adviser) was allocated to the northern gate. 15Oved-Edom’s group was allocated to the southern gate, plus his sons were to guard the storehouses. 16Shuppim’s and Hosah’s groups were allocated the western gate, along with the Shalleket gate on the uphill road with side-by-side guards. 17Every day there were six Levites on duty in the east, four in the north, four in the south, and two at the storehouses. 18There were four on the road by the western courtyard, and two in the courtyard. 19Those were the groups of men who were Korah’s and Merari’s descendants who guarded the temple gates.

26:20The guards of things/objects

Full kingdom

20The Levite, Ahiyyah was in charge of the temple treasuries, as well as the storehouses for dedicated gifts. 21Ladam’s descendants (also descendants of Gershon) were leaders among their family groups. Yehiel was a descendant of this Ladan. 22Yehiel’s sons were Zetam and Yoel, and they were in charge of the storehouses in Yahweh’s temple.

23Others who did that work were descendants of Amram, Yitshar, Hevron and Uzziel.

24Shuvael, a descendant of Mosheh’s son Gershom, was another leader in charge of the treasuries, 25along with his relatives: Eliezer’s son Rehavyah, Rehavyah’s son Yeshayah, Yeshayah’s son Yoram, Yoram’s son Zikri, and Zikri’s son Shelomot. 26Shelomot and his relatives supervised all the storehouses for the sacred things that were consecrated by King David, the clan leaders, and the army division leaders and other commanders 27who had dedicated some of the plunder from their battles to the repair of Yahweh’s residence. 28Shelomot and his relatives were also in charge of everything that the prophet Shemuel, King Shaul (Kish’s son), and David’s two army commanders Abner (Ner’s son) and Yoav (Tseruyah’s son) had dedicated to Yahweh.

26:29Other Levites’ duties

Full kingdom

29From Yitshar’s descendants, Kenanyah and his sons worked outside the temple area as officials and judges over Yisrael.

30From Hevron’s descendants, Hashavyah and his relatives were responsible for all the work done for Yahweh and for the king in the area west of the Yordan river. There were 1,700 of them who were able to do their work well. 31According to the records of Hevron’s descendants, Yeriyyah was their leader. (In the fortieth year of David’s reign, they had searched in those records and discovered that there were powerful men in Yazer in Gilead.) 32Yeriyyah had 2,700 relatives who were strong workers and leaders of their families. King David put them in charge of governing the tribes of Reuven, Gad, and the eastern half of the tribe of Menashsheh, to ensure that all the people did what God commanded and what the king told them to do.
