Concerning the divisions of the porters :
Of the Korhites was 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 ,
Elioenai the seventh .
*
Moreover the sons of Obededom were ,
Shemaiah the firstborn ,
Jehozabad the second ,
Joah the third ,
and Sacar the fourth ,
and Nethaneel the fifth ,
*
Ammiel the sixth ,
Issachar the seventh ,
Peulthai the eighth :
for God blessed him .
*
Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born ,
that ruled throughout the house of their father :
for they were mighty men of valour .
*
The sons of Shemaiah ;
Othni ,
and Rephael ,
and Obed ,
Elzabad ,
whose brethren were strong men ,
Elihu ,
and Semachiah .
*
All these of the sons of Obededom :
they and their sons and their brethren ,
able men for strength for the service ,
were threescore and two of Obededom .
*
And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren ,
strong men ,
eighteen .
*
Also Hosah ,
of the children of Merari ,
had sons ;
Simri the chief , (
for though he was not the firstborn ,
yet his father made him the chief ;)
*
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 porters ,
even among the chief men ,
having wards one against another ,
to minister in the house of the LORD .
*
And they cast lots ,
as well the small as the great ,
according to the house of their fathers ,
for every gate .
*
And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah .
Then for Zechariah his son ,
a wise counsellor ,
they cast lots ;
and his lot came out northward .
*
To Obededom southward ;
and to his sons the house of Asuppim .
*
To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward ,
with the gate Shallecheth ,
by the causeway of the going up ,
ward against ward .
*
Eastward were six Levites ,
northward four a day ,
southward four a day ,
and toward Asuppim two and two .
*
At Parbar westward ,
four at the causeway ,
and two at Parbar .
*
These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore ,
and among the sons of Merari .
