-
1 So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they were written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, who were carried away to Babylon for their transgression.
-
2 Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their cities were, the Israelites, the priests, Levites, and the Nethinims.
-
3 And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and Manasseh;
-
4 Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the children of Pharez the son of Judah.
-
5 And of the Shilonites; Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons.
-
6 And of the sons of Zerah; Jeuel, and their brethren, six hundred and ninety.
-
7 And of the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah,
-
8 And Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephathiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah;
-
9 And their brethren, according to their generations, nine hundred and fifty and six. All these men were chief of the fathers in the house of their fathers.
-
10 And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin,
-
11 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;
-
12 And Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasiai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer;
-
13 And their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
-
14 And of the Levites; Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;
-
15 And Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph;
-
16 And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites.
-
17 And the porters were, Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum was the chief;
-
18 Who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward: they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi.
-
19 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the host of the LORD, were keepers of the entry.
-
20 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the LORD was with him.
-
21 And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
-
22 All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office.
-
23 So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by wards.
-
24 In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.
-
25 And their brethren, which were in their villages, were to come after seven days from time to time with them.
-
26 For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
-
27 And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them.
-
28 And certain of them had the charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by tale.
-
29 Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
-
30 And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices.
-
31 And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were made in the pans.
-
32 And other of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath.
-
33 And these are the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites, who remaining in the chambers were free: for they were employed in that work day and night.
-
34 These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.
-
35 And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name was Maachah,
-
36 And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab,
-
37 And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.
-
38 And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, over against their brethren.
-
39 And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.
-
40 And the son of Jonathan was Meribbaal: and Meribbaal begat Micah.
-
41 And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, and Ahaz.
-
42 And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;
-
43 And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son.
-
44 And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan: these were the sons of Azel.

- 1 So all Israel was enrolled by genealogies; and behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. And Judah was carried away into exile to Babylon for their unfaithfulness.
- 2 Now the first who lived in their possessions in their cities were Israel, the priests, the Levites and the temple servants.
- 3 Some of the sons of Judah, of the sons of Benjamin and of the sons of Ephraim and Manasseh lived in Jerusalem:
- 4 Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, from the sons of Perez the son of Judah.
- 5 From the Shilonites were Asaiah the firstborn and his sons.
- 6 From the sons of Zerah were Jeuel and their relatives, 690 of them.

- 8 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;
- 9 and their relatives according to their generations, 956. All these were heads of fathers' households according to their fathers' houses.
- 10 From the priests were Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, Jachin,
- 11 and Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the chief officer of the house of God;
- 12 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;
- 13 and their relatives, heads of their fathers' households, 1,760 very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
- 14 Of the Levites were Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;

- 16 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 lived in the villages of the Netophathites.
- 17 Now the gatekeepers were Shallum and Akkub and Talmon and Ahiman and their relatives (Shallum the chief
- 18 being stationed until now at the king's gate to the east). These were the gatekeepers for the camp of the sons of Levi.
- 19 Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his relatives 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 the camp of the LORD, keepers of the entrance.
- 20 Phinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them previously, and the LORD was with him.
- 21 Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper of the entrance of the tent of meeting.
- 22 All these who were chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds were 212. These were enrolled by genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer appointed in their office of trust.
- 23 So they and their sons had charge of the gates of the house of the LORD, even the house of the tent, as guards.
- 24 The gatekeepers were on the four sides, to the east, west, north and south.
- 25 Their relatives in their villages were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them;
- 26 for the four chief gatekeepers who were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God.
- 27 They spent the night around the house of God, because the watch was committed to them; and they were in charge of opening it morning by morning.
- 28 Now some of them had charge of the utensils of service, for they counted them when they brought them in and when they took them out.
- 29 Some of them also were appointed over the furniture and over all the utensils of the sanctuary and over the fine flour and the wine and the oil and the frankincense and the spices.
- 30 Some of the sons of the priests prepared the mixing of the spices.
- 31 Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the responsibility over the things which were baked in pans.
- 32 Some of their relatives of the sons of the Kohathites were over the showbread to prepare it every sabbath.
- 33 Now these are the singers, heads of fathers' households of the Levites, who lived in the chambers of the temple free from other service; for they were engaged in their work day and night.
- 34 These were heads of fathers' households of the Levites according to their generations, chief men, who lived in Jerusalem.
- 35 In Gibeon Jeiel the father of Gibeon lived, and his wife's name was Maacah,
- 36 and his firstborn son was Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab,
- 37 Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah and Mikloth.
- 38 Mikloth became the father of Shimeam. And they also lived with their relatives in Jerusalem opposite their other relatives.
- 39 Ner became the father of Kish, and Kish became the father of Saul, and Saul became the father of Jonathan, Malchi-shua, Abinadab and Eshbaal.
- 40 The son of Jonathan was Merib-baal; and Merib-baal became the father of Micah.
- 41 The sons of Micah were Pithon, Melech, Tahrea and Ahaz.
- 42 Ahaz became the father of Jarah, and Jarah became the father of Alemeth, Azmaveth and Zimri; and Zimri became the father of Moza,
