12. Adaiah son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, son of Malkijah; Maasai the son of Adiel, son of Jahzerah, son of Meshullam, son of Meshillemith, son of Immer;

13. and their kinsmen, heads of the house of their fathers, one thousand seven hundred and sixty mighty men for the work of the service of the house of God.

14. And from the Levites: Shemaiah son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah, from the sons of Merari;

15. Bakbakkar; Heresh; Galal; Mattaniah the son of Mica, son of Zicri, son of Asaph;

16. Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun; and Berechiah the son of Asa, son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of Netophathite.

17. And the gatekeepers were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their brethren (Shallum was the chief);

18. until then they were gatekeepers at the gate of the king on the east side toward the camps of the Levites.

19. And Shallum the son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his kinsmen of the house of his fathers, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, the guardians of the entrances to the tent, and their fathers were over the camp of Yahweh, guardians of the entrance.

20. And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the leader over them in time past; Yahweh was with him.

21. Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper at the doorway to the tent of assembly.

22. All of them were chosen as gatekeepers at the entrances, two hundred and twelve. They were enrolled by genealogies in their villages. They were established by David and Samuel the seer on account of their faithfulness.

23. So they and their sons were over the gates of the house of Yahweh at the house of the tent as guards.

24. The gatekeepers were on four sides: east, west, north, and south.

25. And their brethren in their villages were to come every seven days by turn to be with these.

26. For the four mighty gatekeepers, they who were Levites, were entrusted and were over the chambers and over the storerooms of the house of God.
