* So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies ; and , behold , they are written in the book of the kings of Israel ; and Judah was carried away captive to Babylon because of their transgression . * Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their cities were , Israelites , the priests , the Levites , and the Nethinim . * And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah , and of the children of Benjamin , and of the children of Ephraim and Manasseh : * Uthai the son of Ammihud , the son of Omri , the son of Imri , the son of Bani , of the children of Perez the son of Judah . * And of the Shilonites : Asaiah the first-born and his sons . * And of the sons of Zerah : Jeuel , and their brethren , six hundred and ninety . * And of the sons of Benjamin : Sallu the son of Meshullam , the son of Hodaviah , the son of Hassenuah , * and Ibneiah the son of Jeroham , and Elah the son of Uzzi , the son of Michri , and Meshullam the son of Shephatiah , the son of Reuel , the son of Ibneiah ; * and their brethren , according to their generations , nine hundred and fifty and six . All these men were heads of fathers ' houses by their fathers ' houses . * And of the priests : Jedaiah , 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 Pashhur , the son of Malchijah , and Maasai the son of Adiel , the son of Jahzerah , the son of Meshullam , the son of Meshillemith , the son of Immer ; * and their brethren , heads of their fathers ' houses , 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 Mica , the son of Zichri , the son of Asaph ; * and Obadiah the son of Shemaiah , 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 : Shallum , and Akkub , and Talmon , and Ahiman , and their brother Shallum the chief ; * who hitherto waited in the king 's gate eastward ; they were the porters for the camp of the children of Levi . * And Shallum the son of Kore , the son of Ebiasaph , the son of Korah , and his brethren , of his father 's house , the Korahites , were over the work of the service , keepers of the gates of the Tent ; and their fathers had been over the camp of the LORD , keepers of the entry ; * and Phinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them in time past , the LORD being with him . * Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tent of meeting . * All these that were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve . These were reckoned by 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 , even the house of the Tent , by wards . * On the four sides were the porters , toward the east , west , north , and south . * And their brethren , in their villages , were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them ; * for the four chief porters were in a set office . These were the Levites . They were also over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God . * And they lodged round about the house of God , because the charge thereof was upon them , and to them pertained the opening thereof morning by morning . * And certain of them had charge of the vessels of service ; for by tale were they brought in and by tale were they taken out . * Some of them also were appointed over the furniture , and over all the holy vessels , and over the fine flour , and the wine , and the oil , and the frankincense , and the spices . * And some of the sons of the priests prepared the confection of the spices . * And Mattithiah , one of the Levites , who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite , had the set office over the things that were baked on griddles . * And some of their brethren , of the sons of the Kohathites , were over the showbread , to prepare it every sabbath . * And these are the singers , heads of fathers ' houses of the Levites , who dwelt in the chambers and were free from other service ; for they were employed in their work day and night . * These were heads of fathers ' houses of the Levites , by their generations , chief men ; these dwelt at Jerusalem . * And in Gibeon there dwelt the father of Gibeon , Jeiel , whose wife 's name was Maacah ; * and his first-born son Abdon , and Zur , and Kish , and Baal , and Ner , and Nadab ; * and Gedor , and Ahio , and Zechariah , and Mikloth . * And Mikloth begot Shimeam . And they also dwelt with their brethren in Jerusalem , over against their brethren . * And Ner begot Kish ; and Kish begot Saul ; and Saul begot Jonathan , and Malchi-shua , and Abinadab , and Eshbaal . * And the son of Jonathan was Merib-baal ; and Merib-baal begot Micah . * And the sons of Micah : Pithon , and Melech , and Taharea ,and Ahaz . * And Ahaz begot Jarah ; and Jarah begot Alemeth , and Azmaveth , and Zimri ; and Zimri begot Moza . * And Moza begot Binea ; and Rephaiah his son , Eleasah his son , Azel his son . * And Azel had six sons , whose names are these : Azrikam , Bocru , and Ishmael , and Sheariah , and Obadiah , and Hanan ; these were the sons of Azel .
