Divisions of the Gatekeepers
1 AND the divisions of the porters: of the Corites Meselemia, the son of Core, of the sons of Asaph.📜💬📚
2 The sons of Meselemia: Zacharias the first-begotten, Jadihel the second, Zabadias the third, Jathanael the fourth,📜💬📚
3 Aelam the fifth, Johanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh.📜💬📚
4 And the sons of Obededom Semeias the first-begotten, Jozabad the second, Joaha the third, Sachar the fourth, Nathanael the fifth,📜💬📚
5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Phollathi the eight: because our Lord blessed him.📜💬📚
6 And to Semei his son were born sons, the chief of their families: for they were most valiant men.📜💬📚
7 The sons then of Semeias: Othni, and Raphael, and Obed, Elizabad, and his brethren most valiant men: Eliu also, and Samachias.📜💬📚
8 All these of the sons of Obededom: they, & their sons, & their brethren most able to minister, sixty two of Obededom.📜💬📚
9 Moreover the sons of Meselemia, and their brethren most strong, eighteen.📜💬📚
10 And of Hosa, that is, of the sons of Merari: Semri the Prince (for he had not a first-begotten, and therefore his father made him chief)📜💬📚
11 Helcias the second, Tabelias the third, Zacharias, the fourth: all these the sons, and brethren of Hosa, thirteen.📜💬📚
12 These were divided into porters, that the Princes also of the watches, even as their brethren, might minister in the house of our Lord.📜💬📚
13 Lots therefore were cast equally, both to little, and great, by their families, for every one of the gates.📜💬📚
14 The lot then of the East fell to Selemia. Moreover to Zacharias his son, a most wise man, and skillful, the North quarter chanced by lot.📜💬📚
15 But to Obededom and his sons, toward the South: in which part of the house was the Council of the ancients.📜💬📚
16 Sephim, and Hosa toward the West, by the gate which leadeth to the way of ascent: watch against watch.📜💬📚
17 And toward the East six Levites: and toward the North four a day: and toward the South likewise in a day four: and where the Council was, two and two.📜💬📚
18 In the cells also of the porters toward the West four in the way: and two at every cell.📜💬📚
19 These be the divisions of the porters of the sons of Core, and of Merari📜💬📚

20 Moreover Achias was over the treasures of the house of God, and the vessels of the holy places.📜💬📚

29 But the chief over the Isaarites was Chonenias, and his sons, to the works abroad over Israel, to teach and judge them.📜💬📚
