9
And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, eighteen able men.
10
Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons: Shimri the first (for though he was not the firstborn, his father made him the first),
11
Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth; all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.
12
Among these were the divisions of the gatekeepers, among the chief men, having duties just like their brethren, to serve in the house of the Lord.
13
And they cast lots for each gate, the small as well as the great, according to their father's house.
14
The lot for the East Gate fell to Shelemiah. Then they cast lots for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and his lot came out for the North Gate;
15
to Obed-Edom the South Gate, and to his sons the storehouse.
16
To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came out for the West Gate, with the Shallecheth Gate on the ascending highway--watchman opposite watchman.
17
On the east were six Levites, on the north four each day, on the south four each day, and for the storehouse two by two.
18
As for the Parbar on the west, there were four on the highway and two at the Parbar.
19
These were the divisions of the gatekeepers among the sons of Korah and among the sons of Merari.
20
Of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasuries of the house of God and over the treasuries of the dedicated things.
21
The sons of Laadan, the descendants of the Gershonites of Laadan, heads of their fathers' houses, of Laadan the Gershonite: Jehieli.
22
The sons of Jehieli, Zetham and Joel his brother, were over the treasuries of the house of the Lord.
23
Of the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites:
24
Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was overseer of the treasuries.
25
And his brethren by Eliezer were Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son.
26
This Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasuries of the dedicated things which King David and the heads of fathers' houses, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the army, had dedicated.
27
Some of the spoils won in battles they dedicated to maintain the house of the Lord.
28
And all that Samuel the seer, Saul the son of Kish, Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah had dedicated, every dedicated thing, was under the hand of Shelomith and his brethren.
29
Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons performed duties as officials and judges over Israel outside Jerusalem.
