* And their brethren , according to their generations , nine hundred and fifty and six . All these men were chief of the fathers in the house of their fathers . * And of the priests ; Jedaiah Y @kda #yah #, and Jehoiarib , and Jachin , * And Azariah the son of Hilkiah , the son of Meshullam , the son of Zadok , the son of Meraioth , the son of Ahitub , the ruler of the house of God ; * And Adaiah the son of Jeroham , the son of Pashur , the son of Malchijah , and Maasiai the son of Adiel #Adiy #el #, the son of Jahzerah , the son of Meshullam , the son of Meshillemith , the son of Immer ; * And their brethren , heads of the house of their fathers , a thousand and seven hundred and threescore ; very able men for the work of the service of the house of God . * And of the Levites ; Shemaiah the son of Hasshub , the son of Azrikam , the son of Hashabiah , of the sons of Merari ; * And Bakbakkar , Heresh , and Galal , and Mattaniah the son of Micah , the son of Zichri , the son of Asaph ; * And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah Sh @ma #yah #, the son of Galal , the son of Jeduthun , and Berechiah the son of Asa , the son of Elkanah , that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites . * And the porters were , Shallum , and Akkub , and Talmon , and Ahiman , and their brethren : Shallum was the chief ro #sh #; * Who hitherto waited in the kings gate eastward : they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi . * And Shallum the son of Kore , the son of Ebiasaph , the son of Korah , and his brethren , of the house of his father , the Korahites , were over the work of the service , keepers of the gates of the tabernacle : and their fathers , being over the host of the LORD , were keepers of the entry . * And Phinehas the son of Eleazar #El #azar # was the ruler over them in time past , and the LORD was with him . * And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation mow #ed #. * All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve sh @nayim #. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages , whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office . * So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD , namely , the house of the tabernacle , by wards . * In four quarters were the porters show #er #, toward the east , west , north , and south . * And their brethren , which were in their villages , were to come after seven days from time to time with them . * For these Levites , the four chief porters show #er #, were in their set office , and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God . * And they lodged round about the house of God , because the charge was upon them , and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them .
