1 Chronicles Chapter 26 Back Next{26:1} For the divisions of the
doorkeepers: of the
Korahites,
Meshelemiah the son of
Kore, of the sons of
Asaph.
{26:2} Meshelemiah had sons: Zechariah the
firstborn,
Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,

{26:5}
Ammiel the sixth,

{26:6} Also to Shemaiah his son were sons born, who ruled over the house of their
father; for they were mighty men of valor.
{26:7} The sons of Shemaiah: Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose

{26:9} Meshelemiah had sons and brothers, valiant men, eighteen.
{26:10} Also
Hosah, of the children of

{26:11}
Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brothers of Hosah were thirteen.
{26:12} Of these were the divisions of the doorkeepers, even of the chief men, having offices like their brothers, to
minister in the house of Yahweh.
{26:13} They cast lots, the small as well as the great, according to their fathers' houses, for every

{26:14} The lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise
counselor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.
{26:15} To Obed-Edom southward; and to his sons the
storehouse.
{26:16} To Shuppim and Hosah westward, by the gate of Shallecheth, at the
causeway that goes up, watch against watch.
{26:17} Eastward were six
Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and for the storehouse two and two.
{26:18} For Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar.
{26:19} These were the divisions of the doorkeepers; of the sons of the Korahites, and of the sons of Merari.
{26:20} Of the Levites,
Ahijah was over the treasures of God's house, and over the treasures of the dedicated things.

Joel his brother, over the treasures of the house of Yahweh.
{26:23} Of the Amramites, of the
Izharites, of the
Hebronites, of the Uzzielites:
{26:24} and Shebuel the son of
Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler over the treasures.
{26:25} His brothers: of
Eliezer, Rehabiah his son, and
Jeshaiah his son, and
Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomoth his son.
{26:26} This Shelomoth and his brothers were over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which
David the king, and the heads of the fathers' households, the
captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the
army, had dedicated.
{26:27} They dedicated some of the spoil won in battles to repair the house of Yahweh.
{26:28} All that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of
Kish, and
Abner the son of Ner, and
Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated, whoever had dedicated anything, it was under the hand of Shelomoth, and of his brothers.
{26:29} Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward business over
Israel, for officers and judges.
{26:30} Of the Hebronites,
Hashabiah and his brothers, men of valor, one thousand seven hundred, had the oversight of Israel beyond the
Jordan westward, for all the business of Yahweh, and for the service of the king.
{26:31} Of the Hebronites was Jerijah the chief, even of the Hebronites, according to their generations by fathers' households. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought for, and there were found among them mighty men of valor at
Jazer of Gilead.
{26:32} His brothers, men of valor, were two thousand seven hundred, heads of fathers' households, whom king David made overseers over the Reubenites, and the
Gadites, and the half-tribe of the Manassites, for every matter pertaining to God, and for the affairs of the king.
