* For the courses of the doorkeepers : of the Korahites : Meshelemiah the son of Kore , of the sons of Asaph . * And Meshelemiah had sons : Zechariah the first-born , Jediael the second , Zebadiah the third , Jathniel the fourth ; * Elam the fifth , Jehohanan the sixth , Eliehoenai the seventh . * And Obed-edom had sons : Shemaiah the first-born , Jehozabad the second , Joah the third , and Sacar the fourth , and Nethanel the fifth ; * Ammiel the sixth , Issachar the seventh , Peullethai the eighth ; for God blessed him . * Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born , that ruled over the house of their father ; for they were mighty men of valour . * The sons of Shemaiah : Othni , and Rephael and Obed and Elzabad his brethren , valiant men ; Elihu also , and Semachiah . * All these were of the sons of Obed-edom : they and their sons and their brethren , able men in strength for the service ; threescore and two of Obed-edom . * And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren , valiant men , eighteen . * Also Hosah , of the children of Merari , had sons : Shimri the chief--for though he was not the firstborn , yet his father made him chief -- * Hilkiah the second , Tebaliah the third , Zechariah the fourth ; all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen . * These courses of the doorkeepers , even the chief men , had wards over against their brethren , to minister in the house of the LORD . * And they cast lots , as well the small as the great , according to their fathers ' houses , for every gate . * And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah . Then for Zechariah his son , a discreet counsellor , they cast lots ; and his lot came out northward . * To Obed-edom southward ; and to his sons the Storehouse . * To Shuppim and Hosah westward , by the gate of Shallecheth , at the causeway that goeth up , ward against ward . * Eastward were six Levites , northward four a day , southward four a day , and for the Storehouse two and two . * For the Precinct westward , four at the causeway , and two at the Precinct . * These were the courses of the doorkeepers ; of the sons of the Korahites , and of the sons of Merari .
