1 Chronicles 26:7-22 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

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 Obed-edom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were threescore and two of Obed-edom.

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

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

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, even among the chief men, having duties like one another, to minister in the house of the LORD.

13. And they cast lots, the small as well 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 Obed-edom southward; and to his sons the storehouse.

16. To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the road that goes up, watch opposite watch.

17. Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and for the storehouse two by two.

18. At Parbar westward, four at the road, and two at Parbar.

19. These are the divisions of the gatekeepers among the sons of Korah, and among the sons of Merari.

20. And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasuries of the house of God, and over the treasuries of the dedicated things.

21. As concerning the sons of Ladan; the sons of the Gershonite Ladan, the heads of their fathers' houses, even of Ladan the Gershonite, were Jehieli.

22. The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother, who were over the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
