1 Chronicles 26:7-24 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

7. The sons of Shemayah: Othni, and Repha’ĕl, and Oḇĕḏ, Elzaḇaḏ, whose brothers Elihu and Semaḵyahu were able men.

8. All these were of the sons of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom, they and their sons and their brothers, able men with strength for the work: sixty-two of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom.

9. And Meshelemyahu had sons and brothers, eighteen able men.

10. Also Ḥosah, of the children of Merari, had sons: Shimri the head (although he was not the first-born, his father made him the head),

11. Ḥilqiyahu the second, Teḇalyahu the third, Zeḵaryahu the fourth. All the sons and brothers of Ḥosah were thirteen.

12. These divisions of the gatekeepers, among the chief men, had duties like their brothers, to serve in the House of יהוה.

13. And they cast lots for each gate, the small as well as the great, according to their father’s house.

14. And the lot to the east fell to Shelemyahu. Then they cast lots for his son Zeḵaryahu, a wise counsellor, and his lot came out to the north;

15. to Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom to the south, and to his sons the storehouse;

16. to Shuppim and Ḥosah to the west, with the Shalleḵeth Gate on the ascending highway; guard corresponding with guard.

17. On the east were six Lĕwites, on the north four each day, on the south four each day, and for the storehouse two by two.

18. As for the Parbar on the west, there were four on the highway and two at the Parbar.

19. These were the divisions of the gatekeepers among the sons of Qoraḥ and among the sons of Merari.

20. And of the Lĕwites, Aḥiyah was over the treasuries of the House of Elohim and over the treasuries of the set-apart gifts.

21. The sons of La‛dan, the sons of the Gĕrshonites of La‛dan, heads of their fathers’ houses, of La‛dan the Gĕrshonite: Yeḥi’ĕli.

22. The sons of Yeḥi’ĕli, Zĕtham and Yo’ĕl his brother, were over the treasuries of the House of יהוה.

23. Of the Amramites, the Yitsharites, the Ḥeḇronites, and the Uzzi’ĕlites,

24. even Sheḇu’ĕl son of Gĕreshom, son of Mosheh, was overseer of the treasuries.
