* Concerning the divisions of the gatekeepers : of the Korahites , 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 , Eliehoenai the seventh . * Moreover the sons of Obed-Edom were Shemaiah the firstborn , Jehozabad the second , Joah the third , Sacar the fourth , Nethanel the fifth , * Ammiel the sixth , Issachar the seventh , Peulthai the eighth ; for God blessed him . * Also to Shemaiah his son were sons born who governed their fathers ' houses , because they were men of great ability . * The sons of Shemaiah were Othni , Rephael , Obed , and Elzabad , whose brothers Elihu and Semachiah were able men . * All these were of the sons of Obed-Edom , they and their sons and their brethren , able men with strength for the work : sixty-two of Obed-Edom . * And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren , eighteen able men . * Also Hosah , of the children of Merari , had sons : Shimri the first (for though he was not the firstborn , his father made him the first ), * 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 gatekeepers , among the chief men , having duties just like their brethren , to serve in the house of the LORD . * And they cast lots for each gate , the small as well as the great , according to their father 's house . * The lot for the East Gate fell to Shelemiah . Then they cast lots for his son Zechariah , a wise counselor , and his lot came out for the North Gate ; * to Obed-Edom the South Gate , and to his sons the storehouse . * To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came out for the West Gate , with the Shallecheth Gate on the ascending highway--watchman opposite watchman . * On the east were six Levites , on the north four each day , on the south four each day , and for the storehouse two by two . * As for the Parbar on the west , there were four on the highway and two at the Parbar . * These were the divisions of the gatekeepers among the sons of Korah and among the sons of Merari .
