Fyrri Kroníkubók 26
Icelandic Bible
26 Að því er snertir hliðvarðaflokkana, þá voru þar af Kóraítum: Meselemja Kóreson af Asafsniðjum.
2 En synir Meselemja voru: Sakaría, frumgetningurinn, annar Jedíael, þriðji Sebadja, fjórði Jatníel,
3 fimmti Elam, sjötti Jóhanan, sjöundi Elíóenaí.
4 Synir Óbeð Edóms voru: Semaja, frumgetningurinn, annar Jósabad, þriðji Jóa, fjórði Sakar, fimmti Netaneel,
5 sjötti Ammíel, sjöundi Íssakar, áttundi Pegúlletaí, því að Guð hafði blessað hann.
6 En Semaja, syni hans, fæddust og synir, er réðu í ættum sínum, því að þeir voru hinir röskustu menn.
7 Synir Semaja voru: Otní, Refael, Óbeð og Elsabat. Bræður þeirra voru Elíhú og Semakja, dugandi menn.
8 Allir þessir voru af niðjum Óbeð Edóms, þeir og synir þeirra og bræður, dugandi menn, vel hæfir til þjónustunnar, sextíu og tveir alls frá Óbeð Edóm.
9 Meselemja átti og sonu og bræður, dugandi menn, átján alls.
10 Synir Hósa, er var af Meraríniðjum, voru: Simrí höfðingi; þótt eigi væri hann frumgetningurinn, þá gjörði faðir hans hann að höfðingja;
11 annar Hilkía, þriðji Tebalja, fjórði Sakaría. Synir og bræður Hósa voru þrettán alls.
12 Þessum hliðvarðaflokkum eftir ætthöfðingjum hlotnaðist starf við þjónustuna í húsi Drottins, þeim sem frændum þeirra.
13 Og menn vörpuðu hlutkesti um hvert hlið fyrir sig, eftir ættum, yngri sem eldri.
14 Fyrir hliðið gegnt austri féll hluturinn á Selemja. Menn vörpuðu og hlutkesti fyrir Sakaría son hans, hygginn ráðgjafa, og féll hans hlutur á hliðið gegnt norðri,
15 fyrir Óbeð Edóm gegnt suðri, og fyrir son hans á geymsluhúsið,
16 fyrir Súppím og Hósa gegnt vestri við Sallekethliðið, við götuna, sem liggur upp eftir, hver varðstöðin við aðra.
17 Við hliðið gegnt austri voru sex levítar, gegnt norðri fjórir dag hvern, gegnt suðri fjórir dag hvern, og við geymsluhúsið tveir og tveir.
18 Við Parbar gegnt vestri: fjórir fyrir götuna, tveir fyrir Parbar.
19 Þessir eru hliðvarðaflokkarnir af Kóraítaniðjum og af Meraríniðjum.
20 Levítar frændur þeirra höfðu umsjón með fjársjóðum Guðs húss og með helgigjafafjársjóðunum.
21 Niðjar Laedans, niðjar Gersoníta, Laedans, ætthöfðingjar Laedansættar Gersoníta, Jehíelítar,
22 niðjar Jehíelíta, Setam og Jóel bróðir hans höfðu umsjón með fjársjóðum í húsi Drottins.
23 Að því er snertir Amramíta, Jíseharíta, Hebroníta og Ússíelíta,
24 þá var Sebúel Gersómsson, Mósesonar, yfirumsjónarmaður yfir fjársjóðunum.
25 Og að því er snertir frændur þeirra frá Elíeser, þá var Rehabja sonur hans, hans son Jesaja, hans son Jóram, hans son Sikrí, hans son Selómít.
26 Höfðu þeir Selómít þessi og bræður hans umsjón með öllum helgigjafafjársjóðunum, þeim er Davíð konungur og ætthöfðingjarnir, þúsundhöfðingjarnir og hundraðshöfðingjarnir og herforingjarnir höfðu helgað _
27 úr ófriði og af herfangi höfðu þeir helgað það til þess að endurbæta með musteri Drottins,
28 og allt, er Samúel sjáandi, Sál Kísson, Abner Nersson og Jóab Serújuson höfðu helgað, allt hið helgaða, var undir umsjón Selómíts og bræðra hans.
29 Af Jíseharítum höfðu þeir Kenanja og synir hans á hendi hin veraldlegu störf í Ísrael, sem embættismenn og dómarar.
30 Af Hebronítum höfðu þeir Hasabja og frændur hans, dugandi menn, seytján hundruð alls, á hendi stjórnarstörf Ísraels hérna megin Jórdanar, að vestanverðu. Stóðu þeir fyrir öllum störfum Drottins og þjónustu konungs.
31 Til Hebroníta taldist Jería, höfðingi Hebroníta eftir kyni þeirra og ættum _ voru þeir kannaðir á fertugasta ríkisári Davíðs, og fundust meðal þeirra hinir röskustu menn í Jaser í Gíleað _
32 og frændur hans, röskir menn, tvö þúsund og sjö hundruð ætthöfðingjar alls. Setti Davíð konungur þá yfir Rúbensniðja, Gaðsniðja og hálfa kynkvísl Manasseniðja, að því er snertir öll erindi Guðs og erindi konungsins.

Gatekeepers
26 The divisions of the gatekeepers: from the Korahites: Meshelemiah, Kore’s son, one of Ebiasaph’s[a] family.
2 Meshelemiah’s family: Zechariah the oldest, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth, 3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, and Eliehoenai the seventh.
4 Obed-edom’s family: Shemaiah the oldest, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sachar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth, 5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, and Peullethai the eighth. God truly blessed him. 6 To his son Shemaiah were born sons who ruled over their household, because they were valiant men. 7 Shemaiah’s family: Othni, Rephael, Obed, Elzabad, and his relatives, Elihu and Semachiah, who were valiant men. 8 All these were members of Obed-edom’s family, they, their sons, and their relatives. They were valiant and strong in their service, 62 men belonging to Obed-edom. 9 Meshelemiah’s family and relatives, valiant men, numbered 18.
10 Hosah, one of Merari’s family, also had a family: Shimri the first (though he wasn’t the oldest, his father gave him that status), 11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, and Zechariah the fourth. All of Hosah’s family and relatives numbered 13.
12 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers with their leaders, who were responsible to minister in the Lord’s temple, along with their relatives. 13 They cast lots for each gate in the same way, whether their household was small or large. 14 The lot for the East Gate fell to Shelemiah. They then cast lots for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and his lot indicated the North Gate. 15 Obed-edom was assigned the South Gate, and his sons were assigned the storehouses. 16 Hosah[b] was assigned the West Gate, that is, the chamber[c] gate on the upper road.
The guards had the same task: 17 each day[d] the East had six, the North four, and the South four, with two at each of the storehouses. 18 At the courtyard on the West, there were four at the road and two at the courtyard. 19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers from Korah’s family and Merari’s family.
20 Their fellow[e] Levites were in charge of the treasuries of God’s temple and the treasuries of the dedicated gifts: 21 from Ladan’s family, the family of the Gershonites belonging to Ladan, and the heads of the households belonging to Ladan the Gershonite: Jehieli. 22 Jehieli’s family: Zetham and Joel his brother were in charge of the treasuries of the Lord’s temple. 23 From the Amramites, Izharites, Hebronites, and Uzzielites: 24 Shebuel, a descendant of Gershom, Moses’ son, was the chief officer in charge of the treasuries. 25 His relatives through Eliezer included his son Rehabiah, his son Jeshaiah, his son Joram, his son Zichri, and his son Shelomoth. 26 This Shelomoth and his relatives were in charge of all the treasuries of the gifts dedicated by King David, by the household leaders, by the commanders[f] of the units of a thousand and a hundred, and by the army officers. 27 They had dedicated some of the valuable objects won in battle to repair the Lord’s temple. 28 Everything that was dedicated by Samuel the seer, as well as by Saul, Kish’s son; Abner, Ner’s son; and Joab, Zeruiah’s son—in fact, anything that had been dedicated—was under the supervision of Shelomoth[g] and his relatives.
29 From the Izharites: Chenaniah and his family had responsibilities over Israel outside the temple as officials and judges. 30 From the Hebronites: Hashabiah and his relatives, 1,700 capable men, were put in charge of Israel west of the Jordan concerning all of the Lord’s affairs and the king’s service. 31 From the Hebronites: Jerijah was the head of the Hebronites according to the family records of their households. In the fortieth year of David’s rule, a search was made and capable men were found among them in Jazer in Gilead. 32 Jerijah’s relatives, capable men, were 2,700 heads of households. King David put them in charge of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh concerning all of God’s and the king’s affairs.

Divisions of the Gatekeepers
26 As for the divisions of the gatekeepers: of the Korahites, Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph. 2 And Meshelemiah had sons: (A)Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth, 3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Eliehoenai the seventh. 4 And (B)Obed-edom had sons: Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sachar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth, 5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peullethai the eighth, (C)for God blessed him. 6 Also to his son Shemaiah were sons born who were rulers in their fathers' houses, for they were men of great ability. 7 The sons of Shemaiah: Othni, Rephael, Obed and Elzabad, whose brothers were able men, Elihu and Semachiah. 8 All these were of the sons of Obed-edom with their sons and brothers, able men qualified for the service; sixty-two of Obed-edom. 9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brothers, able men, eighteen. 10 And (D)Hosah, of the sons of Merari, had sons: Shimri the chief (for though he was not the firstborn, his father made him chief), 11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brothers of Hosah were thirteen.
12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, corresponding to their chief men, had duties, just as their brothers did, ministering in the house of the Lord. 13 And they cast lots by fathers' houses, (E)small and great alike, for their gates. 14 The lot for the east fell to Shelemiah. They cast lots also for his son Zechariah, a shrewd counselor, and his lot came out for the north. 15 Obed-edom's came out for the south, and to his sons was allotted (F)the gatehouse. 16 For Shuppim and (G)Hosah it came out for the west, at the gate of Shallecheth on the road that goes up. Watch corresponded to watch. 17 On the east there were six each day,[a] on the north four each day, on the south four each day, as well as two and two at the gatehouse. 18 And for the (H)colonnade[b] on the west there were four at the road and two at the colonnade. 19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers among the Korahites and the sons of Merari.
Treasurers and Other Officials
20 And of the Levites, Ahijah had charge of (I)the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries of the dedicated gifts. 21 The sons of Ladan, the sons of the Gershonites belonging to Ladan, the heads of the fathers' houses belonging to Ladan the Gershonite: (J)Jehieli.[c]
22 (K)The sons of Jehieli, Zetham, and Joel his brother, were in charge of the treasuries of the house of the Lord. 23 (L)Of the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites— 24 and (M)Shebuel the son of Gershom, son of Moses, was chief officer in charge of the treasuries. 25 His brothers: from (N)Eliezer were his son Rehabiah, and his son (O)Jeshaiah, and his son Joram, and his son Zichri, and his son (P)Shelomoth. 26 This Shelomoth and his brothers were in charge of all the treasuries of the dedicated gifts that David the king and the heads of the fathers' houses and the officers of the thousands and the hundreds and the commanders of the army (Q)had dedicated. 27 From spoil won in battles they dedicated gifts for the maintenance of the house of the Lord. 28 Also all that (R)Samuel the seer and Saul the son of Kish and Abner the son of Ner and Joab the son of Zeruiah had dedicated—all dedicated gifts were in the care of (S)Shelomoth[d] and his brothers.
29 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were appointed to (T)external duties for Israel, (U)as officers and judges. 30 Of the Hebronites, (V)Hashabiah and his brothers, 1,700 men of ability, had the oversight of Israel westward of the Jordan for all the work of the Lord and for the service of the king. 31 Of the Hebronites, (W)Jerijah was chief of the Hebronites of whatever genealogy or fathers' houses. (In the fortieth year of David's reign search was made and men of great ability among them were found at (X)Jazer in Gilead.) 32 King David appointed him and his brothers, 2,700 men of ability, heads of fathers' houses, to have the oversight of the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of the Manassites for everything pertaining to God and for (Y)the affairs of the king.
