* 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 . * Of the Levites , Ahijah was over the treasuries of the house of God and over the treasuries of the dedicated things . * The sons of Laadan , the descendants of the Gershonites of Laadan , heads of their fathers ' houses , of Laadan the Gershonite : Jehieli . * The sons of Jehieli , Zetham and Joel his brother , were over the treasuries of the house of the LORD . * Of the Amramites , the Izharites , the Hebronites , and the Uzzielites : * Shebuel the son of Gershom , the son of Moses , was overseer of the treasuries . * And his brethren by Eliezer were Rehabiah his son , Jeshaiah his son , Joram his son , Zichri his son , and Shelomith his son . * This Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasuries of the dedicated things which King David and the heads of fathers ' houses , the captains over thousands and hundreds , and the captains of the army , had dedicated . * Some of the spoils won in battles they dedicated to maintain the house of the LORD . * And all that Samuel the seer , Saul the son of Kish , Abner the son of Ner , and Joab the son of Zeruiah had dedicated , every dedicated thing , was under the hand of Shelomith and his brethren . * Of the Izharites , Chenaniah and his sons performed duties as officials and judges over Israel outside Jerusalem . * Of the Hebronites , Hashabiah and his brethren , one thousand seven hundred able men , had the oversight of Israel on the west side of the Jordan for all the business of the LORD , and in the service of the king . * Among the Hebronites , Jerijah was head of the Hebronites according to his genealogy of the fathers . In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought , and there were found among them capable men at Jazer of Gilead . * And his brethren were two thousand seven hundred able men , heads of fathers ' houses , whom King David made officials over the Reubenites , the Gadites , and the half-tribe of Manasseh , for every matter pertaining to God and the affairs of the king .
