[1] So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they are
written in the book of the kings of Israel: and Judah was carried away
captive to Babylon for their disobedience. [2] Now the first inhabitants
who lived in their possessions in their cities were Israel, the priests,
the Levites, and the Nethinim. [3] In Jerusalem lived of the children of
Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim and
Manasseh: [4] Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri,
the son of Bani, of the children of Perez the son of Judah. [5] Of the
Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons. [6] Of the sons of Zerah:
Jeuel, and their brothers, six hundred ninety. [7] Of the sons of Benjamin:
Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah, [8]
and Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of
Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of
Ibnijah; [9] and their brothers, according to their generations, nine
hundred fifty-six. All these men were heads of fathers` [houses] by their
fathers` houses. [10] Of the priests: Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, Jachin, [11]
and Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the
son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God; [12] and
Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah, and
Maasai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son
of Meshillemith, the son of Immer; [13] and their brothers, heads of their
fathers` houses, one thousand seven hundred sixty; very able men for the
work of the service of the house of God. [14] Of the Levites: Shemaiah the
son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of
Merari; [15] and Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of
Mica, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph, [16] and Obadiah the son of
Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of
Asa, the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.
[17] The porters: Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their
brothers (Shallum was the chief), [18] who hitherto [waited] in the king`s
gate eastward: they were the porters for the camp of the children of Levi.
[19] Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and
his brothers, of his father`s house, the Korahites, were over the work of
the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent: and their fathers had
been over the camp of Yahweh, keepers of the entry. [20] Phinehas the son
of Eleazar was ruler over them in time past, [and] Yahweh was with him.
[21] Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tent of
meeting. [22] All these who were chosen to be porters in the thresholds
were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by genealogy in their
villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their office of
trust. [23] So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of
the house of Yahweh, even the house of the tent, by wards. [24] On the four
sides were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south. [25] Their
brothers, in their villages, were to come in every seven days from time to
time to be with them: [26] for the four chief porters, who were Levites,
were in an office of trust, and were over the chambers and over the
treasuries in the house of God. [27] They lodged round about the house of
God, because the charge [of it] was on them; and to them pertained the
opening of it morning by morning. [28] Certain of them had charge of the
vessels of service; for by count were these brought in and by count were
these taken out. [29] Some of them also were appointed over the furniture,
and over all the vessels of the sanctuary, and over the fine flour, and the
wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices. [30] Some of the
sons of the priests prepared the confection of the spices. [31] Mattithiah,
one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the
office of trust over the things that were baked in pans. [32] Some of their
brothers, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the show bread, to
prepare it every Sabbath. [33] These are the singers, heads of fathers`
[houses] of the Levites, [who lived] in the chambers [and were] free [from
other service]; for they were employed in their work day and night. [34]
These were heads of fathers` [houses] of the Levites, throughout their
generations, chief men: these lived at Jerusalem. [35] In Gibeon there
lived the father of Gibeon, Jeiel, whose wife`s name was Maacah: [36] and
his firstborn son Abdon, and Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab,
[37] and Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth. [38] Mikloth became
the father of Shimeam. They also lived with their brothers in Jerusalem,
over against their brothers. [39] Ner became the father of Kish; and Kish
became the father of Saul; and Saul became the father of Jonathan, and
Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal. [40] The son of Jonathan was
Merib-baal; and Merib-baal became the father of Micah. [41] The sons of
Micah: Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, [and Ahaz]. [42] Ahaz became the
father of Jarah; and Jarah became the father of Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and
Zimri; and Zimri became the father of Moza; [43] and Moza became the father
of Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son. [44] Azel
had six sons, whose names are these: Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and
Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan: these were the sons of Azel.
