1 Chronicles 26:21-32 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

21. Ladan was from Gershon’s family. Jehieli was one of the leaders of the tribe of Ladan.

22. Jehieli’s sons were Zetham and Zetham’s brother Joel. They were responsible for the valuable things in the Lord’S Temple.

23. Other leaders were chosen from the tribes of Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

24. Shubael was the leader responsible for the valuable things kept in the Temple. Shubael was Gershom’s son. Gershom was Moses’ son.

25. These were Shubael’s relatives: His relatives from Eliezer were Rehabiah, Eliezer’s son; Jeshaiah, Rehabiah’s son; Joram, Jeshaiah’s son; Zicri, Joram’s son; and Shelomith, Zicri’s son.

26. Shelomith and his relatives were responsible for everything that David had collected for the Temple. The officers of the army also gave things for the Temple.

27. They gave some of the things taken in wars. They gave these things to be used for the Lord’S Temple.

28. Shelomith and his relatives took care of all the things that people gave to be used for the Temple. This included the things given by Samuel the seer, Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah.

29. Kenaniah was from the Izhar family. Kenaniah and his sons had work outside the Temple. They worked as court officers and judges in different places in Israel.

30. Hashabiah was from the Hebron family. Hashabiah and his relatives were responsible for all the Lord’S work and for the king’s business in Israel west of the Jordan River. There were 1700 powerful men in Hashabiah’s group.

31. The family history of the Hebron family shows that Jeriah was their leader. When David had been king for 40 years, he ordered his people to search through the family histories for strong and skilled men. Some of them were found among the Hebron family living in the town of Jazer in Gilead.

32. Jeriah had 2700 relatives who were powerful men and leaders of families. King David gave these 2700 relatives the responsibility of leading the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh in taking care of God’s work and the king’s business.
