Concerning the divisions of the porters
: Of the Korhites

of Asaph
.
And the sons of Meshelemiah

Also unto Shemaiah his son
were sons
born
, that ruled
throughout the house
of their father
: for they were mighty men
of valour
.
The sons of Shemaiah
; Othni
, and Rephael
, and Obed
, Elzabad
, whose brethren
were strong

All these of the sons of Obededom

for the service
, were threescore

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

Also Hosah, of the children

made
him the chief
;)
Hilkiah the second
, Tebaliah
the third
, Zechariah
the fourth
: all the sons

of Hosah
were thirteen
.
Among these were the divisions of the porters
, even among the chief
men
, having wards
one against
another
, to minister
in the house
of the LORD
.
And they cast lots
, as well the small
as the great
, according to the house
of their fathers
, for every gate
.
And the lot eastward
fell
to Shelemiah
. Then for Zechariah

came out

To Obededom southward
; and to his sons

of Asuppim
.
To Shuppim and Hosah
the lot came forth westward

four
a day
, southward
four
a day
, and toward Asuppim
two
and two
.
At Parbar westward

These are the divisions of the porters

of Kore
, and among the sons
of Merari
.
And of the Levites, Ahijah
was over the treasures
of the house
of God
, and over the treasures

And his brethren by Eliezer
; Rehabiah
his son
, and Jeshaiah
his son
, and Joram

were over all the treasures
of the dedicated things
, which David
the king
, and the chief
fathers
, the captains
over thousands
and hundreds
, and the captains
of the host
, had dedicated
.
Out of the spoils won in battles
did they dedicate
to maintain
the house
of the LORD
.
And all that Samuel the seer
, and Saul
the son
of Kish
, and Abner
the son
of Ner
, and Joab
the son
of Zeruiah
, had dedicated
; and whosoever had dedicated
any thing, it was under the hand
of Shelomith
, and of his brethren
.
Of the Izharites, Chenaniah

among them of Israel
on this side

in all the business
of the LORD
, and in the service
of the king
.
Among the Hebronites was Jerijah
the chief
, even among the Hebronites
, according to the generations
of his fathers
. In the fortieth
year
of the reign
of David
they were sought
for, and there were found
among them mighty men
of valour
at Jazer
of Gilead
.
And his brethren, men
of valour
