1 Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites was Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.*26.1 Meshelemiah: also called, Shelemiah*26.1 Asaph: also called, Ebiasaph 2 And the sons of Meshelemiah were, Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth, 3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh. 4 Moreover the sons of Obed-edom were, Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth, 5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth: for God blessed him.*26.5 him: that is, Obed-edom 6 Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they were mighty men of valour. 7 The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah. 8 All these of the sons of Obed-edom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were threescore and two of Obed-edom. 9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen. 10 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;) 11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen. 12 Among these were the divisions of the porters, even among the chief men, having wards one against another, to minister in the house of the LORD.

13 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.*26.13 as well…: or, as well for the small as for the great 14 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.*26.14 Shelemiah: also called Meshelemiah 15 To Obed-edom southward; and to his sons the house of Asuppim.*26.15 Asuppim: Heb. gatherings 16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward against ward. 17 Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and toward Asuppim two and two. 18 At Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar. 19 These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore, and among the sons of Merari.

20 And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of the house of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things.*26.20 dedicated…: Heb. holy things 21 As concerning the sons of Laadan; the sons of the Gershonite Laadan, chief fathers, even of Laadan the Gershonite, were Jehieli.*26.21 Laadan: also called, Libni*26.21 Jehieli: also called, Jehiel 22 The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother, which were over the treasures of the house of the LORD. 23 Of the Amramites, and the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites: 24 And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of the treasures. 25 And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son. 26 Which Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the host, had dedicated. 27 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the LORD.*26.27 spoils…: Heb. battles and spoils 28 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated; and whosoever had dedicated any thing, it was under the hand of Shelomith, and of his brethren.

29 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward business over Israel, for officers and judges. 30 And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, men of valour, a thousand and seven hundred, were officers among them of Israel on this side Jordan westward in all the business of the LORD, and in the service of the king.*26.30 officers…: Heb. over the charge 31 Among the Hebronites was Jerijah the chief, even among the Hebronites, according to the generations of his fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought for, and there were found among them mighty men of valour at Jazer of Gilead. 32 And his brethren, men of valour, were two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king.*26.32 affairs: Heb. thing

1 WAT die afdelings van die poortwagters betref, by die Koragiete het behoort Meselémja, die seun van Korē, van die seuns van Ébjasaf.

2 En Meselémja het seuns gehad: Sagaría, die eersgeborene, Jedíael, die tweede, Sebádja, die derde, Játniël, die vierde,

3 Elam, die vyfde, Jóhanan, die sesde, Eljehóënai, die sewende.

4 Obed-Edom het ook seuns gehad: Semája was die eersgeborene, Jósabad die tweede, Joag die derde en Sagar die vierde en Netáneël die vyfde,

5 Ámmiël die sesde, Íssaskar die sewende, Peülletai die agtste; want God het hom geseën.

6 Ook vir sy seun Semája is seuns gebore wat in hulle familie geheers het, want hulle was dapper helde.

7 Die seuns van Semája was Otni en Réfael en Obed, Élsabad; sy broers, flukse manne: Elíhu en Semágja.

8 Hulle almal was uit die seuns van Obed-Edom, hulle en hul seuns en hul broers, flukse manne, bekwaam vir die diens; twee-en-sestig van Obed-Edom.

9 Meselémja het ook seuns en broers gehad, flukse manne, agttien.

10 En Hosa, uit die seuns van Merári, het seuns gehad: Simri was die hoof; wel was hy nie die eersgeborene nie, maar sy vader het hom as hoof aangestel.

11 Hilkía was die tweede, Tebálja die derde, Sagaría die vierde; al die seuns en broers van Hosa was dertien.

12 Hierdie afdelings van die poortwagters, die gesinshoofde, het die wag gehad net soos hulle broers, om te dien in die huis van die Here.

13 En hulle het die lot gewerp, klein en groot, volgens hulle families vir elke poort.

14 En die lot vir die ooste het op Selémja geval; ook vir sy seun Sagaría, wat 'n verstandige raadgewer was, het hulle die lot gewerp; en sy lot het uitgekom vir die noorde;

15 op Obed-Edom vir die suide; en op sy seuns vir die huis van die voorrade;

16 op Suppim en op Hosa vir die weste by die poort Salléget aan die grootpad wat opdraand loop, wag naas wag.

17 Vir die ooste was ses Leviete; vir die noorde daagliks vier; vir die suide daagliks vier; maar by die huis van die voorrade telkens twee.

18 By die aanbousel, vir die weste, was vier aan die grootpad, twee by die aanbousel.

19 Dit was die afdelings van die poortwagters van die seuns van die Koragiete en van die seuns van Merári.

20 EN die Leviete, hulle broers, oor die skatte van die huis van God en oor die skatte van die heilige gawes was:

21 die seuns van Láedan, die seuns van die Gersoniet Láedan, die familiehoofde van Láedan, die Gersoniet: Jehiëli;

22 die seuns van Jehiëli: Setam en Joël, sy broer, was oor die skatte van die huis van die Here.

23 Wat die Amramiete, die Jishariete, die Hebroniete, die Ussiëliete betref,

24 Sébuel, die seun van Gersom, die seun van Moses, was owerste oor die skatte.

25 En wat sy broers, van Eliëser afkomstig, betref, sy seun was Rehábja, en sy seun Jesaja, en sy seun Joram, en sy seun Sigri, en sy seun Selómot.

26 Hierdie Selómot en sy broers was oor al die skatte van die heilige gawes wat koning Dawid en die familiehoofde, en die owerstes oor duisend en oor honderd en die leërowerstes, geheilig het —

27 van die oorloë en van die buit het hulle dit geheilig om die huis van die Here daarmee uit te rus —

28 ook alles wat die siener Samuel geheilig het, en Saul, die seun van Kis, en Abner, die seun van Ner, en Joab, die seun van Serúja — wie ook al iets geheilig het, was onder bewaring van Selómot en sy broers.

29 VAN die Jishariete was Kenánja en sy seuns opsigters en regters oor Israel vir die uitwendige sake;

30 van die Hebroniete het Hasábja en sy broers, dapper manne, duisend-sewehonderd, die opsig gehad oor Israel, duskant die Jordaan na die weste toe, vir enige werk van die Here en vir die diens van die koning.

31 Van die Hebroniete was Jería die hoof — daar is na die Hebroniete volgens hulle afstamming, volgens families, 'n ondersoek ingestel in die veertigste jaar van die koningskap van Dawid, en daar is onder hulle dapper helde gevind in Jaéser in Gílead —

32 en sy broers, dapper manne, tweeduisend-sewehonderd familiehoofde; en koning Dawid het hulle aangestel oor die Rubeniete en die Gadiete en die halwe stam van die Manassiete vir enige saak van God en enige saak van die koning.
