The First Book of The Chronicles

1Ch 26:1 Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Kor´-hites was Me-shel-e-mi´-ah the son of Ko´-re, of the sons of A´-saph.

1Ch 26:2 And the sons of Me-shel-e-mi´-ah were, Zech-a-ri´-ah the firstborn, Jedi´-a-el the second, Zeb-a-di´-ah the third, Jath´-ni-el the fourth,

1Ch 26:3 E´-lam the fifth, Je-ho-ha´-nan the sixth, E-li-o-e´-nai the seventh.

1Ch 26:4 Moreover the sons of O´-bed–e´dom were, She-ma´-iah the firstborn, Je-hoz´-a-bad the second, Jo´-ah the third, and Sa´-car the fourth, and Nethan´-e-el the fifth,

1Ch 26:5 Am´-mi-el the sixth, Is´-sa-char the seventh, Pe-ul´-thai the eighth: for God blessed him.

1Ch 26:6 Also unto She-ma´-iah his son were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they were mighty men of valour.

1Ch 26:7 The sons of She-ma´-iah; Oth´-ni, and Re´-pha-el, and O´-bed, El´-zabad, whose brethren were strong men, E-li´-hu, and Sem-a-chi´-ah.

1Ch 26:8 All these of the sons of O´-bed–e´dom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were threescore and two of O´-bed–e´-dom.

1Ch 26:9 And Me-shel-e-mi´-ah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen.

1Ch 26:10 Also Ho´-sah, of the children of Me-ra´-ri, had sons; Sim´-ri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;)

1Ch 26:11 Hil-ki´-ah the second, Teb-a-li´ah the third, Zech-a-ri´-ah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Ho´-sah were thirteen.

1Ch 26:12 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.

1Ch 26:13 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.

1Ch 26:14 And the lot eastward fell to Shele-mi´-ah. Then for Zech-a-ri´-ah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.

1Ch 26:15 To O´-bed–e´-dom southward; and to his sons the house of A-sup´pim.

1Ch 26:16 To Shup´-pim and Ho´-sah the lot came forth westward, with the gate Shal´-le-cheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward against ward.

1Ch 26:17 Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and toward A-sup´-pim two and two.

1Ch 26:18 At Par´-bar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Par´-bar.

1Ch 26:19 These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Ko´-re, and among the sons of Me-ra´-ri.

1Ch 26:20 And of the Levites, A-hi´-jah was over the treasures of the house of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things.

1Ch 26:21 As concerning the sons of La´-adan; the sons of the Ger´-shon-ite La´a-dan, chief fathers, even of La´-a-dan the Ger´-shon-ite, were Je-hi´-e-li.

1Ch 26:22 The sons of Je-hi´-e-li; Ze´-tham, and Jo´-el his brother, which were over the treasures of the house of the Lord.

1Ch 26:23 Of the Am´-ram-ites, and the Iz´-har-ites, the He´-bron-ites, and the Uz-zi´-el-ites:

1Ch 26:24 And Sheb´-u-el the son of Ger´shom, the son of Moses, was ruler of the treasures.

1Ch 26:25 And his brethren by E-li-e´-zer; Re-ha-bi´-ah his son, and Je-sha´-iah his son, and Jo´-ram his son, and Zich´-ri his son, and Shel´-o-mith his son.

1Ch 26:26 Which Shel´-o-mith 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.

1Ch 26:27 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the Lord.

1Ch 26:28 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Jo´-ab the son of Ze-ru´-iah, had dedicated; and whosoever had dedicated any thing, it was under the hand of Shel´-o-mith, and of his brethren.

1Ch 26:29 Of the Iz´-har-ites, Chen-a-ni´ah and his sons were for the outward business over Israel, for officers and judges.

1Ch 26:30 And of the He´-bron-ites, Hash-a-bi´-ah 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.

1Ch 26:31 Among the He´-bron-ites was Jeri´-jah the chief, even among the He´bron-ites, 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 Ja´-zer of Gil´-e-ad.

1Ch 26:32 And his brethren, men of valour, were two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David made rulers over the Reu´-ben-ites, the Gad´-ites, and the half tribe of Manas´-seh, for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king.
