26:1 Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites
[was] Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.
26:2 And the sons of Meshelemiah [were], Zechariah the
first-born, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel
the fourth,
26:3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh.
26:4 Moreover the sons of Obed-edom [were], Shemaiah the
first-born, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the
fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth,
26:5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the
eighth: for God blessed him.
26:6 Also to Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled
throughout 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 brethren [were] strong men, Elihu, and
Semachiah.
26:8 All these of the sons of Obed-edom: they and their sons and
their brethren, able men for strength for the service, [were]
sixty and two of Obed-edom.
26:9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men,
eighteen.
26:10 Also Hosah of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the
chief, (for [though] he was not the first-born, yet his father
made him the chief;)
26:11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the
fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah [were] thirteen.
26:12 Among these [were] the divisions of the porters, [even]
among the chief men, having wards one against another, to
minister in the house of the LORD.
26:13 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great,
according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.
26:14 And 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 house of
Asuppim.
26:16 To Shuppim and Hosah [the lot came forth] westward, with
the gate Shallecheth, by the way of the ascent, ward against
ward.
26:17 Eastward [were] six Levites, northward four a day,
southward four a day, and towards Asuppim, two [and] two.
26:18 At Parbar westward, four at the causey, [and] two at
Parbar.
26:19 These [are] the divisions of the porters among the sons of
Kore, and among the sons of Merari.
26:20 And of the Levites, Ahijah [was] over the treasures of the
house of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things.
26:21 [As concerning] the sons of Laadan; the sons of the
Gershonite Laadan, chief fathers, [even] of Laadan the
Gershonite, [were] Jehieli.
26:22 The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother, [who
were] over the treasures of the house of the LORD.
26:23 Of the Amramites, [and] the Izharites, the Hebronites,
[and] the Uzzielites:
26:24 And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, [was]
ruler of the treasures.
26:25 And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah his son, and
Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and
Shelomith his son.
26:26 Which Shelomith and his brethren [were] over all the
treasures of the dedicated things, which David the king, and
the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds,
and the captains of the host, had dedicated.
26:27 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to
maintain the house of the LORD.
26:28 And 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; [and] whoever had dedicated [any thing], [it was]
under the hand of Shelomith, and of his brethren.
26:29 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons [were] for the
outward business over Israel, for officers and judges.
26:30 [And] of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, men
of valor, a thousand and seven hundred, [were] officers among
them of Israel on this side of Jordan westward in all the
business of the LORD, and in the service of the king.
26:31 Among the Hebronites [was] Jerijah the chief, [even] among
the Hebronites, according to the generations of his fathers. 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 And his brethren, men of valor, [were] two thousand and
seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David made rulers over
the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,
for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king.
