As for the divisions of the gatekeepers :
of the Ko '

Meshelemi '
ah the son of Ko '

of the sons of Asaph .
*
And Meshelemi '
ah had sons :
Zechari '
ah the first-born ,
Jedi '
a-el the second ,
Zebadi '
ah the third ,
Jath '
ni-el the fourth ,
*
Elam the fifth ,
Jehoha '
nan the sixth ,
Eli-e-ho-e '
nai the seventh .
*
And O '
bed-e '
dom had sons :
Shemai '
ah the first-born ,
Jehoz '
abad the second ,
Jo '
ah the third ,
Sachar the fourth ,
Nethan '
el the fifth ,
*
Am '
mi-el the sixth ,
Is '
sachar the seventh ,
Pe-ul '
lethai the eighth ;
for God blessed him .
*
Also to his son Shemai '
ah were sons born who were rulers in their fathers '
houses ,
for they were men of great ability .
*
The sons of Shemai '
ah :
Othni ,
Reph '
a-el ,
Obed ,
and Elza '
bad ,
whose brethren were able men ,
Eli '
hu and Semachi '

*
All these were of the sons of O '

dom with their sons and brethren ,
able men qualified for the service ;
sixty-two of O '
bed-e '
dom .
*
And Meshelemi '
ah had sons and brethren ,
able men ,
eighteen .
*
And Hosah ,
of the sons of Merar '
i ,
had sons :
Shimri the chief (
for though he was not the first-born ,
his father made him chief ),
*
Hilki '
ah the second ,
Tebali '
ah the third ,
Zechari '
ah the fourth :
all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen .
*
These divisions of the gatekeepers ,
corresponding to their chief men ,
had duties ,
just as their brethren did ,
ministering in the house of the LORD ;
*
and they cast lots by fathers '
houses ,
small and great alike ,
for their gates .
*
The lot for the east fell to Shelemi '
ah .
They cast lots also for his son Zechari '
ah ,
a shrewd counselor ,
and his lot came out for the north .
*
O '
bed-e '
dom '
s came out for the south ,
and to his sons was allotted the storehouse .
*
For Shuppim and Hosah it came out for the west ,
at the gate of Shal '
lecheth on the road that goes up .
Watch corresponded to watch .
*
On the east there were six each day ,
on the north four each day ,
on the south four each day ,
as well as two and two at the storehouse ;
*
and for the parbar on the west there were four at the road and two at the parbar .
*
These were the divisions of the gatekeepers among the Ko '
rahites and the sons of Merar '
i .
