1 Chronicles 26:10-27 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

10. And Hosah, from the sons of Merari, had sons: Shimri the chief (though he was not firstborn, his father appointed him as chief),

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

12. These working groups of gatekeepers, corresponding to the chief men, had responsibilities like their brothers to serve in the house of Yahweh.

13. And they cast lots, small and great alike, by their fathers’ houses, for their gates.

14. And the lot fell to the east to Shelemiah. As for Zechariah his son, a wise counselor, they cast lots. And his lot came out for the north.

15. To Obed-Edom went out the south, and to his sons, the storehouses.

16. For Shuppim and Hosah it went out for the west, at the gate of Shalleketh, on the road that goes up, guard for guard.

17. To the east, six Levites; to the north, four daily; to the south, four daily; and at the storerooms, two by two.

18. For the court to the west, four at the road, two at the court.

19. These were the working groups of the gatekeepers among the sons of the Korahites 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 sanctified objects.

21. The sons of Ladan: the sons of the Gershonites belonging to Ladan, the heads of the families belonging to Ladan the Gershonite: Jehieli.

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

23. Of the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Ozzielites:

24. Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was commander over the treasuries.

25. And his brothers: from Eliezer were Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zikri his son, and Shelomoth his son.

26. That Shelomoth and his brothers were over all the treasuries of the sanctified objects that King David and the heads of the families to the commanders of thousands and hundreds and the commanders of the army had dedicated.

27. From the battles and from the spoil they had dedicated these things to strengthen the house of Yahweh.
