They and their sons and their brothers [were ] able men for strength for the service , and there [were ] sixty-two of Obed-edom . * And Meshelemiah had sons and brothers , strong men , eighteen . * Also to Hosah , of the sons of Merari , [were ] sons : Simri was the chief ( though ] not the first-born , yet his father made him the chief ), * Hilkiah the second , Tebaliah the third , Zechariah the fourth . All the sons and brothers of Hosah [were ] thirteen . * among these [were ] the divisions of the gatekeepers , among the chief men , having charges like their brothers , to minister in the house of the LORD . * And they cast lots , the small as well as the great , according to the house of their fathers , for every gate . * And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah ; then Zechariah his son , a wise counselor , they cast lots . And his lot came out northward . * To Obed-edom southward ; and to his sons the storehouse ; * to Shuppim and Hosah westward , with the gate of Shallecheth , by the highway going up , guard corresponding to guard . * Eastward [were ] six Levites , northward four a day , southward four a day , and toward the storehouse , two by two . * At the Parbar , westward , four at the highway , two at the Parbar . * These are the divisions of the gatekeepers 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 . * The sons of Laadan , sons of the Gershonites ; chief fathers of Laadan the Gershonite : Jehieli ; * the sons of Jehieli : Zetham and Joel his brother , [who were ] over the treasures of the house of the LORD , * for 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 brothers by Eliezer : Rehabiah his son , and Jeshaiah his son , and Joram his son , and Zichri his son , and Shelomith his son . * This Shelomith and his brothers [were ] over all the treasures of the holy things , which David the king , and the chief fathers , the commanders over thousands and hundreds , and the commanders of the army , had given . * They dedicated [part of ] the spoils won in battles , 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 . Whoever had dedicated [anything , it was ] at the hand of Shelomith and of his brothers . * Of the Izharites , Chenaniah and his sons [were ] for the outward business over Israel , for officers and judges . * Of the men of Hebron , Hashabiah and his brothers , men of valor , 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 . * Jerijah [was ] the chief among the men of Hebron . He was of 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 valor at Jazer of Gilead . * And his brothers , mighty men , [were ] two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers whom King David made rulers over the men of Reuben , of Gad , and the half tribe of Manasseh , for every matter having to do with God and the affairs of the king .
