*
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 for their transgression .
*
Now the first inhabitants who dwelt in their possessions in their cities were Israelites ,
the priests ,
the Levites ,
and the Nethinim .
*
And in Jerusalem dwelt of the sons of Judah ,
and of the sons of Benjamin ,
and of the sons of Ephraim and Manasseh :
*
Uthai the son of Ammihud ,
the son of Omri ,
the son of Imri ,
the son of Bani ,
of the sons 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 brothers ,
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 Ibnijah ,
*
and their brothers ,
according to their generations ,
nine hundred and fifty-six .
All these men were heads of fathers by their fathers '
houses .
*
And of the priests :
Jedaiah ,
and Jehoiarib ,
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 brothers ,
heads of their fathers '
houses ,
a thousand and seven hundred and sixty ,
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 ,
who dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites .
*
And the porters :
Shallum ,
and Akkub ,
and Talmon ,
and Ahiman ,
and their brothers (
Shallum was the chief ),
*
who formerly [
served ]
in the king '
s gate eastward .
They were the porters for the camp of the sons of Levi .
*
And Shallum the son of Kore ,
the son of Ebiasaph ,
the son of Korah ,
and his brothers ,
of his father '
s house ,
the Korahites ,
were over the work of the service ,
keepers of the thresholds of the tent .
And their fathers had been over t
*
And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them in time past , [
and ]
LORD was with him .
*
Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tent of meeting .
*
All these who were chosen to be porters in the thresholds were two hundred and twelve .
These were reckoned by genealogy in their villages ,
whom David and Samuel the seer ordained in their office of trust .
*
So they and their sons had the oversight of the gates of the house of 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 brothers ,
in their villages ,
were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them ;
*
for the four chief porters ,
who were Levites ,
were in an office of trust ,
and were over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God .
*
And they lodged round about the house of God ,
because the charge [
of it ]
was upon them ,
and to them pertained the opening of it morning by morning .
*
And certain of them had charge of the vessels of service ,
for by count were these brought in and by count were these taken out .
*
Some of them were also appointed over the furniture ,
and over all the vessels of the sanctuary ,
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 first-born of Shallum the Korahite ,
had the office of trust over the things that were baked in pans .
*
And some of their brothers ,
of the sons of the Kohathites ,
were over the showbread to prepare it every Sabbath .
*
And these are the singers ,
heads of fathers 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 of the Levites ,
throughout their generations ,
chief men ;
these dwelt at Jerusalem .
