New Testament

1 Chronicles 26:9-15 American Standard Version (ASV)

9. And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, valiant men, eighteen.

10. Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons: Shimri the chief, (for though he was not the first-born, yet his father made him chief),

11. Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.

12. Of these were the courses of the doorkeepers, even of the chief men, having offices like their brethren, to minister in the house of Jehovah.

13. And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to their fathers’ houses, for every gate.

14. And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a discreet counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.

15. To Obed-edom southward; and to his sons the store-house.
