I Chronicles
Chapter 9
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
who
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

and

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

(the

and

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 'Elohiym/Godhead.
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,
who
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 Jehovah/God,
were
keepers of the entry.
20
And Phinehas
the
son of Eleazar
was
the ruler over them in time past,
and
Jehovah/God 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 {early term for 'prophet'}
did
ordain in their set office.
23
So they and their children had the oversight
of
the gates of the house of Jehovah/God,
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,
who
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 'Elohiym/Godhead.
27
And they lodged round about the house of 'Elohiym/Godhead,
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.
