Jehozabad the second ,
Joah the third ,
and Sacar the fourth ,
and Nethanel the fifth ,
*
Ammiel the sixth ,

who ruled over the house of their father ,
for they were mighty men of valor .
*
The sons of Shemaiah :
Othni ,
and Rephael ,
and Obed ,
Elzabad ,
whose brothers were valiant men ,
Elihu ,
and Semachiah .
*
All these were of the sons of Obed-edom ,
they and their sons and their brothers ,
able men in strength for the service ,
sixty-two of Obed-edom .
*
And Meshelemiah had sons and brothers ,
valiant men ,
eighteen .
*
Also Hosah ,

for though he was not the first-born ,
yet his father made him chief ),
*

All the sons and brothers of Hosah were thirteen .

*
And they cast lots ,
the small as well as the great ,
according to their fathers '
houses for every gate .
*
And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah .
Then for Zechariah his son ,
a discreet counselor ,
they cast lots ,
and his lot came out northward .
*
To Obed-edom southward ,
and to his sons the store-house .
*
To Shuppim and Hosah westward ,
by the gate of Shallecheth ,
at the causeway that goes up ,
watch against watch .
*
Eastward were six Levites ,
four a day northward ,
four a day southward ,
and for the store-house two by two .
*
For Parbar westward ,
four at the highway ,
and two at Parbar .
*
These were the divisions of the porters ,
of the sons of the Korahites ,
and of the sons of Merari .
