* Concerning the divisions of the gatekeepers of the Korchites : Meshelemyahu the son of Kore , of the sons of Assaph . * And Meshelemyahu had sons : Zecharyahu the first –born , Jedi ’ael the second , Zebaiyahu the third , Jathniel the fourth , * Elam the fifth , Jehochanan the sixth , Elyeho ’enal the seventh , * And ‘Obed –edom had sons : Shema ’yah the first –born , Jehosabad the second , Joach the third , and Sachar the fourth , and Nethanel the fifth , * ‘Ammiel the sixth , Issachar the seventh , Pe ’ulthai the eighth ; for God had blessed him . * Also unto Shema ’yah his son there were born sons , that were rulers for the house of their father ; for they were mighty men of valor . * The sons of Shema ’yah were ‘Othni , and Rephael , and ‘Obed , Elsahad , his brothers valiant men , Elihu , and Semachyahu . * All these were of the sons of ‘Obed –edom : they and their sons and their brethren were valiant men in strength for the service , being sixty and two of ‘Obed –edom . * And Meshelemyahu had sons and brethren , valiant men , eighteen . * Also Chossah , of the children of Merari , had sons : Shimri the chief , for he was not the first –born , yet his father made him the chief ; * Chilkiyahu the second , Tehalyahu the third , Zecharyahu the fourth ; all the sons and brethren of Chossah were thirteen . * These divisions of the gatekeepers , after the chief men , had the watch along with their brethren , to minister in the house of the Lord . * And they cast lots , the small as well as the great , according to their family divisions , for each and every gate . * And the lot at the east fell for Shelemyahu . And for Zecharyahu his son , an intelligent counsellor , they cast lots , and his lot came out at the north . * For ‘Obed –edom at the south ; and to his sons the house of Assuppim . * For Shuppim and for Chossah at the west , by the gate Shallecheth , on the ascending causeway , watch alongside of watch . * At the east were six Levites , at the north four for every day , at the south four for every day , and for Assuppim always two . * At the Parbar on the west , four at the causeway , and two at the Parbar . * These are the divisions of the gatekeepers of the sons of the Korchites , and of the sons of Merari .
