*
Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron .
The sons of Aaron ;
Nadab ,
and Abihu ,
Eleazar ,
and Ithamar .
*
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father ,
and had no children :
therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest '
s office .
*
And David distributed them ,
both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar ,
and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar ,
according to their offices in their service .
*
And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar ;
and thus were they divided .
Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers ,
and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers .
*
Thus were they divided by lot ,
one sort with another ;
for the governors of the sanctuary ,
and governors of the house of God ,
were of the sons of Eleazar ,
and of the sons of Ithamar .
*
And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe ,
one of the Levites ,
wrote them before the king ,
and the princes ,
and Zadok the priest ,
and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar ,
and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites :
one principal household being taken for Eleazar ,
and one taken for Ithamar .
*
Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib ,

*
The third to Harim ,

*
These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king ,
and Zadok ,
and Ahimelech ,
and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites ,
even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren .
*
Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph ,
and of Heman ,

with cymbals ,
psalteries ,
and harps ,
for the service of the house of God ,
according to the king '
s order to Asaph ,

Concerning the divisions of the porters :
Of the Korhites was Meshelemiah the son of Kore ,
of the sons of Asaph .
*
And the sons of Meshelemiah were ,
Zechariah the firstborn ,
Jediael the second ,
Zebadiah the third ,
Jathniel the fourth ,
*
Elam the fifth ,
Jehohanan the sixth ,
Elioenai the seventh .
*
Moreover the sons of Obededom were ,
Shemaiah the firstborn ,
Jehozabad the second ,
Joah the third ,
and Sacar the fourth ,
and Nethaneel the fifth ,
*
Ammiel the sixth ,
Issachar the seventh ,
Peulthai the eighth :
for God blessed him .
*
Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born ,
that ruled throughout the house of their father :
for they were mighty men of valour .
*
The sons of Shemaiah ;
Othni ,
and Rephael ,
and Obed ,
Elzabad ,
whose brethren were strong men ,
Elihu ,
and Semachiah .
*
All these of the sons of Obededom :
they and their sons and their brethren ,
able men for strength for the service ,
were threescore and two of Obededom .
*
And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren ,
strong men ,
eighteen .
*
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 ;)
*
Hilkiah the second ,
Tebaliah the third ,
Zechariah the fourth :
all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen .
*
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 .
*
And they cast lots ,
as well the small as the great ,
according to the house of their fathers ,
for every gate .
*
And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah .
Then for Zechariah his son ,
a wise counsellor ,
they cast lots ;
and his lot came out northward .
*
To Obededom southward ;
and to his sons the house of Asuppim .
*
To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward ,
with the gate Shallecheth ,
by the causeway of the going up ,
ward against ward .
*
Eastward were six Levites ,
northward four a day ,
southward four a day ,
and toward Asuppim two and two .
*
At Parbar westward ,
four at the causeway ,
and two at Parbar .
*
These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore ,
and among the sons of Merari .
*
And of the Levites ,
Ahijah was over the treasures of the house of God ,
and over the treasures of the dedicated things .
*
As concerning the sons of Laadan ;
the sons of the Gershonite Laadan ,
chief fathers ,
even of Laadan the Gershonite ,
were Jehieli .
*
The sons of Jehieli ;
Zetham ,
and Joel his brother ,
which were over the treasures of the house of the LORD .
*
Of the Amramites ,
and the Izharites ,
the Hebronites ,
and the Uzzielites :
*
And Shebuel the son of Gershom ,
the son of Moses ,
was ruler of the treasures .
*
And his brethren by Eliezer ;
Rehabiah his son ,
and Jeshaiah his son ,
and Joram his son ,
and Zichri his son ,
and Shelomith his son .
*
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 .
*
Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the LORD .
*
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 .
*
Of the Izharites ,
Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward business over Israel ,
for officers and judges .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Now the children of Israel after their number ,
to wit ,
the chief fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds ,
and their officers that served the king in any matter of the courses ,
which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year ,
of every course were twenty and four thousand .
