1 Quanto às divisões dos porteiros, dos coraítas foi Meselemias, filho de Coré, dos filhos de Asafe. 2 E foram os filhos de Meselemias: Zacarias, o primogênito, Jediael, o segundo, Zebadias, o terceiro, Jatniel, o quarto, 3 Elão, o quinto, Joanã, o sexto, Elioenai, o sétimo. 4 E os filhos de Obede-Edom foram: Semaías, o primogênito, Jeozabade, o segundo, Joá, o terceiro, Sacar, o quarto, Natanael, o quinto, 5 Amiel, o sexto, Issacar, o sétimo, Peuletai, o oitavo; porque Deus o tinha abençoado. 6 Também a seu filho Semaías nasceram filhos, que dominaram sobre a casa de seu pai; porque foram varões valentes. 7 Os filhos de Semaías: Otni, e Rafael, e Obede, e Elzabade, com seus irmãos, homens valentes, Eliú e Semaquias. 8 Todos esses foram dos filhos de Obede-Edom; eles, e seus filhos, e seus irmãos, homens valentes de força para o ministério, por todos, sessenta e dois. 9 E os filhos e os irmãos de Meselemias, homens valentes, foram dezoito. 10 E de Hosa, dentre os filhos de Merari, foram seus filhos: Sinri, o chefe (ainda que não era o primogênito, contudo seu pai o constituiu chefe), 11 Hilquias, o segundo, Tebalias, o terceiro, Zacarias, o quarto; todos os filhos e irmãos de Hosa foram treze.

12 Destes se fizeram as turmas dos porteiros, entre os chefes dos homens da guarda, igualmente com os seus irmãos, para ministrarem na Casa do Senhor. 13 E lançaram sortes, assim os pequenos como os grandes, segundo as casas de seus pais, para cada porta. 14 E caiu a sorte do oriente a Selemias; e lançou-se a sorte por seu filho Zacarias, conselheiro prudente, e saiu-lhe a sorte do norte. 15 E a Obede-Edom, a do sul; e a seus filhos, a casa das tesourarias. 16 A Supim e Hosa, a do ocidente, com a porta Salequete, junto ao caminho da subida; uma guarda defronte de outra guarda. 17 Ao oriente estavam seis levitas; ao norte, quatro por dia; ao sul, quatro por dia; porém às tesourarias, de dois em dois. 18 Em Parbar, ao ocidente, quatro junto ao caminho, dois junto a Parbar. 19 Estas são as turmas dos porteiros dentre os filhos dos coraítas e dentre os filhos de Merari.

20 E, quanto aos levitas, Aías tinha cargo dos tesouros da Casa de Deus e dos tesouros das coisas sagradas. 21 Quanto aos filhos de Ladã, gersonita, foi chefe dos pais Jeieli, 22 dos filhos de Jeieli: Zetã e Joel, seu irmão; estes tinham cargo dos tesouros da Casa do Senhor; 23 dos anramitas, dos izaritas, dos hebronitas, dos ozielitas, 24 Sebuel, filho de Gérson, o filho de Moisés, era maioral dos tesouros; 25 e seus irmãos foram, da banda de Eliézer, Reabias, seu filho, e Isaías, seu filho, e Jorão, seu filho, e Zicri, seu filho, e Selomite, seu filho. 26 Este Selomite e seus irmãos tinham cargo de todos os tesouros das coisas sagradas que o rei Davi, e os chefes dos pais, capitães de milhares, e de centenas, e capitães do exército tinham consagrado; 27 dos despojos das guerras as consagraram, para repararem a Casa do Senhor, 28 como também tudo quanto tinha consagrado Samuel, o vidente, e Saul, filho de Quis, e Abner, filho de Ner, e Joabe, filho de Zeruia; tudo quanto qualquer tinha consagrado estava debaixo da mão de Selomite e seus irmãos.

29 Dos izaritas, Quenanias e seus filhos foram postos sobre Israel para a obra de fora, por oficiais e por juízes; 30 dos hebronitas, foram Hasabias e seus irmãos, homens valentes, mil e setecentos, que tinham cargo dos ofícios em Israel, daquém do Jordão para o ocidente, em toda obra do Senhor e para o serviço do rei; 31 dos hebronitas, era Jerias o chefe dos hebronitas, de suas gerações entre os pais; no ano quarenta do reino de Davi, se buscaram e acharam entre eles varões valentes em Jazer de Gileade. 32 E seus irmãos, homens valentes, dois mil e setecentos, chefes dos pais; e o rei Davi os constituiu sobre os rubenitas, e os gaditas, e a meia tribo dos manassitas, para todos os negócios de Deus e para todos os negócios do rei.

5 ‘Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Pe’ulthai the eighth; for God had blessed him.

6 Also unto Shema’yah his son there were born sons, that were rulers for the house of their father; for they were mighty men of valor.

7 The sons of Shema’yah were ‘Othni, and Rephael, and ‘Obed, and Elsahad, his brothers were valiant men, Elihu, and Semachyahu.

8 All these were of the sons of ‘Obed–edom: they and their sons and their brethren were valiant men in strength for the service, being sixty and two descendants of ‘Obed–edom.

9 And Meshelemyahu had sons and brethren, valiant men, eighteen.

10 Also Chossah, of the children of Merari, had sons: Shimri the chief, for though he was not the first–born, yet his father made him the chief;

11 Chilkiyahu the second, Tehalyahu the third, Zecharyahu the fourth; all the sons and brethren of Chossah were thirteen.

12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, after the chief men, had the watch along with their brethren, to minister in the house of the Lord.

13 And they cast lots, the small as well as the great, according to their family divisions, for each and every gate.

14 And the lot at the east fell for Shelemyahu. And for Zecharyahu his son, an intelligent counsellor, they cast lots, and his lot came out at the north.

15 For ‘Obed–edom at the south; and to his sons was assigned the house of Assuppim.

16 For Shuppim and for Chossah at the west, by the gate Shallecheth, on the ascending causeway, watch alongside of watch.

17 At the east were six Levites, at the north four for every day, at the south four for every day, and for the house of Assuppim always two.

18 At the Parbar on the west, four at the causeway, and two at the Parbar.

19 These are the divisions of the gatekeepers of the sons of the Korchites, and of the sons of Merari.

20 And of the Levites, Achiyah was over the treasuries of the house of God, and over the treasuries of the holy things.

21 As concerning the sons of La’dan, the sons of the Gershunites of La’dan, the chiefs of the families of La’dan the Gershunite, were the Jechielites.

22 The sons of Jechieli, Zetham, and Joel his brother, were over the treasuries of the house of the Lord.

23 Of the ‘Amramites, of the Yizharites, of the Hebronites, and of the ‘Uzzielites,

24 Was even Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, superintendent of the treasuries.

25 And his brethren by Eli’ezer: Rechabyahu his son, and Jesha’yahu his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomoth his son.

26 This Shelomoth and his brethren were over all the treasuries of the holy things, which king David had sanctified, together with the chiefs of the family divisions, the captains over the thousands and the hundreds, and the captains of the army.

27 Out of the wars, and out of the booty did they sanctify to maintain the house of the Lord.

28 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruyah, had sanctified, whatsoever any one had sanctified, was under the supervision of Shelomoth and of his brethren.

29 Of the Yizharites were Kenanyahu and his sons for the outward business over Israel, for officers and judges.

30 Of the Hebronites were Chashabyahu and his brethren, valiant men, a thousand and seven hundred in number, appointed over the affairs of Israel on this side of the Jordan to the west, for all the business of the Lord, and for the service of the king.

31 Of the Hebronites was Jeriyah the chief, for the Hebronites, according to their generations by families. In the fortieth year of the reign of David were they inquired into, and there were found among them mighty men of valor at Ja’zer of Gil’ad.

32 And his brethren, valiant men, were two thousand and seven hundred chiefs of families: and king David appointed them over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Menasseh, for every matter pertaining to God, and the affairs of the king.
