6
Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born,
who
ruled throughout the house of their father . . .
for
they were mighty men of valor.
7
The sons of Shemaiah;
Othni,
and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad,
whose
brethren were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah.
8
All these of the sons of Obededom.
They
and their sons and their brethren,
able
men for strength for the service,
were
threescore and two of Obededom.
9
And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren,
strong
men, eighteen.
10
Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons;

yet
his father made him the chief) 11
Hilkiah
the second,
Tebaliah
the third,
Zechariah

All
the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.
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 Jehovah/God.
13
And they cast lots,
as
well the small as the great,
according
to the house of their fathers,
for
every gate.
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.
15
To Obededom southward;
and
to his sons the house of Asuppim.
16
To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward,
with
the gate Shallecheth,
by
the causeway of the going up,
ward
against ward.
17
Eastward were six Levites,
northward
four a day,
southward
four a day,
and
toward Asuppim two and two.
18
At Parbar westward,
four
at the causeway,
and
two at Parbar.
19
These are the divisions of the porters
among
the sons of Kore,
and
among the sons of Merari.
20
And of the Levites,
Ahijah
was over the treasures of the house of 'Elohiym/Godhead,
and
over the treasures of the dedicated things.
21
As concerning the sons of Laadan;

who
were over the treasures
of
the house of Jehovah/God.
23
Of the Amramites,
and
the Izharites,
the
Hebronites,
and
the Uzzielites 24
and

ruler of the treasures.
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
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.
27
Out of the spoils won in battles
did
they dedicate to maintain the house of Jehovah/God.
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
whosoever had dedicated any thing,
it
was under the hand of Shelomith,
and
of his brethren.
29
Of the Izharites,
Chenaniah
and his sons
were
for the outward business over Israel,
for
officers and judges.
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 the Jordan {River} westward
in
all the business of Jehovah/God,
and
in the service of the king.
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.
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 'Elohiym/Godhead,
and
affairs of the king.
