1 Chronicles 9
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
After the Exile
9 All Israel was registered in the genealogies that are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. But Judah was exiled(A) to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness. 2 The first(B) to live in their towns on their own property again were Israelites, priests, Levites, and temple servants.(C)
3 These people from the descendants of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh settled in Jerusalem:
4 Uthai son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, a descendant[a] of Perez son of Judah;
5 from the Shilonites:
Asaiah the firstborn and his sons;
6 and from the descendants of Zerah:
Jeuel and their relatives – 690 in all.
7 The Benjaminites: Sallu son of Meshullam, son of Hodaviah, son of Hassenuah;
8 Ibneiah son of Jeroham;
Elah son of Uzzi, son of Michri;
Meshullam son of Shephatiah, son of Reuel, son of Ibnijah;
9 and their relatives according to their family records – 956(D) in all. All these men were heads of their ancestral families.[b]
10 The priests:(E) Jedaiah; Jehoiarib; Jachin;
11 Azariah son of Hilkiah, son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub, the chief official(F) of God’s temple;
12 Adaiah son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, son of Malchijah;
Maasai son of Adiel, son of Jahzerah, son of Meshullam, son of Meshillemith, son of Immer;
13 and their relatives, the heads of their ancestral families – 1,760 in all. They were capable men employed in the ministry of God’s temple.
14 The Levites: Shemaiah son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah of the Merarites;
15 Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, and Mattaniah, son of Mica, son of Zichri, son of Asaph;
16 Obadiah son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun;
and Berechiah son of Asa, son of Elkanah who lived in the settlements of the Netophathites.
17 The gatekeepers:(G) Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their relatives.
Shallum was their chief; 18 he was previously stationed at the King’s Gate on the east side.(H) These were the gatekeepers from the camp of the Levites.
19 Shallum son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah and his relatives from his ancestral family, the Korahites, were assigned to guard the thresholds of the tent.[c] Their ancestors had been assigned to the Lord’s camp as guardians of the entrance.(I) 20 In earlier times Phinehas son of Eleazar had been their leader, and the Lord was with him.(J) 21 Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was the gatekeeper at the entrance to the tent of meeting.(K)
22 The total number of those chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds was 212. They were registered by genealogy in their settlements. David and the seer Samuel had appointed them(L) to their trusted positions. 23 So they and their sons were assigned as guards to the gates of the Lord’s temple, which had been the tent-temple. 24 The gatekeepers were on the four sides: east, west, north, and south. 25 Their relatives came from their settlements(M) at fixed times to be with them seven days,(N) 26 but the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted with the rooms and the treasuries of God’s temple.(O) 27 They spent the night in the vicinity of God’s temple, because they had guard duty and were in charge of opening it every morning.(P)
28 Some of them were in charge of the utensils used in worship. They would count them when they brought them in and when they took them out. 29 Others were put in charge of the furnishings and all the utensils of the sanctuary,(Q) as well as the fine flour,(R) wine, oil, incense, and spices. 30 Some of the priests’ sons mixed the spices.(S) 31 A Levite called Mattithiah, the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with baking the bread.[d] 32 Some of the Kohathites’ relatives were responsible for preparing the rows of the Bread of the Presence(T) every Sabbath.
33 The singers,(U) the heads of the Levite families, stayed in the temple chambers and were exempt from other tasks because they were on duty day and night.(V) 34 These(W) were the heads of the Levite families, chiefs according to their family records; they lived in Jerusalem.

Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman and their fellow Levites, Shallum their chief 18 being stationed at the King’s Gate(L) on the east, up to the present time. These were the gatekeepers belonging to the camp of the Levites. 19 Shallum(M) son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his fellow gatekeepers from his family (the Korahites) were responsible for guarding the thresholds of the tent just as their ancestors had been responsible for guarding the entrance to the dwelling of the Lord. 20 In earlier times Phinehas(N) son of Eleazar was the official in charge of the gatekeepers, and the Lord was with him. 21 Zechariah(O) son of Meshelemiah was the gatekeeper at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

The gatekeepers had been assigned to their positions of trust by David and Samuel the seer.(Q) 23 They and their descendants were in charge of guarding the gates of the house of the Lord—the house called the tent of meeting. 24 The gatekeepers were on the four sides: east, west, north and south. 25 Their fellow Levites in their villages had to come from time to time and share their duties for seven-day(R) periods. 26 But the four principal gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted with the responsibility for the rooms and treasuries(S) in the house of God. 27 They would spend the night stationed around the house of God,(T) because they had to guard it; and they had charge of the key(U) for opening it each morning.
28 Some of them were in charge of the articles used in the temple service; they counted them when they were brought in and when they were taken out. 29 Others were assigned to take care of the furnishings and all the other articles of the sanctuary,(V) as well as the special flour and wine, and the olive oil, incense and spices. 30 But some(W) of the priests took care of mixing the spices. 31 A Levite named Mattithiah, the firstborn son of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with the responsibility for baking the offering bread. 32 Some of the Kohathites, their fellow Levites, were in charge of preparing for every Sabbath the bread set out on the table.(X)
33 Those who were musicians,(Y) heads of Levite families, stayed in the rooms of the temple and were exempt from other duties because they were responsible for the work day and night.(Z)
34 All these were heads of Levite families, chiefs as listed in their genealogy, and they lived in Jerusalem.

1 Chronik 9
Schlachter 1951
Erste Einwohner Jerusalems nach der Rückkehr aus der Gefangenschaft
9 Ganz Israel aber wurde nach seinen Geschlechtern verzeichnet, und siehe, sie sind eingeschrieben im Buche der Könige von Israel. Und Juda ward nach Babel weggeführt um seiner Untreue willen. 2 Und die früheren Einwohner, die in ihrem Eigentum, in ihren Städten wohnten, waren Israeliten, die Priester, die Leviten und die Tempeldiener.
3 Und zu Jerusalem wohnten von den Kindern Juda und von den Kindern Benjamin und von den Kindern Ephraim und Manasse: 4 Utai, der Sohn Ammihuds, des Sohnes Omris, des Sohnes Imris, des Sohnes Banis, von den Söhnen des Perez, des Sohnes Judas. 5 Und von den Schilonitern: Asaja, der Erstgeborene, und seine Söhne. 6 Und von den Söhnen Serahs: Jeuel und seine Brüder, 690. 7 Und von den Kindern Benjamin: Sallu, der Sohn Meschullams, des Sohnes Hodawjas, des Sohnes Hassenuas; 8 und Jibneja, der Sohn Jerochams, und Ela, der Sohn Ussis, des Sohnes Michris, und Meschullam, der Sohn Sephatjas, des Sohnes Reguels, des Sohnes Jibnijas; 9 und ihre Brüder nach ihren Geschlechtern, 956.
Alle diese Männer waren Stammhäupter ihrer Stammhäuser.
10 Und von den Priestern: Jedaja und Jojarib und Jachin, und Asarja, 11 der Sohn Hilkijas, des Sohnes Meschullams, des Sohnes Zadoks, des Sohnes Merajots, des Sohnes Achitubs, Vorsteher des Hauses Gottes; 12 und Adaja, der Sohn Jerochams, des Sohnes Paschhurs, des Sohnes Malkijas, und Maasai, der Sohn Adiels, des Sohnes Jachseras, des Sohnes Meschullams, des Sohnes Meschillemits, des Sohnes Immers; 13 und ihre Brüder, Häupter ihrer Stammhäuser: 1760, wackere Männer im Geschäft des Dienstes des Hauses Gottes.
14 Und von den Leviten: Schemaja, der Sohn Chaschubs, des Sohnes Asrikams, des Sohnes Chaschabjas, von den Söhnen Meraris; 15 und Bakbakar, Cheresch, Galal und Mattanja, der Sohn Michas, des Sohnes Sichris, des Sohnes Asaphs; 16 und Obadja, der Sohn Schemajas, des Sohnes Galals, des Sohnes Jedutuns; und Berechja, der Sohn Asas, des Sohnes Elkanas, der da wohnte in den Dörfern der Netophatiter.
17 Und die Torhüter: Schallum und Akkub und Talmon und Achiman und ihre Brüder; Schallum war das Haupt; 18 und bis jetzt sind sie am Königstore gegen Aufgang, sie, die Torhüter des Lagers der Kinder Levi. 19 Und Schallum, der Sohn Kores, des Sohnes Ebjasaphs, des Sohnes Korahs, und seine Brüder vom Hause seines Vaters, die Korahiter, waren bei der Besorgung des Dienstes Schwellenhüter des Zeltes, und ihre Väter waren im Lager des Herrn Hüter des Eingangs gewesen. 20 Und Pinehas, der Sohn Eleasars, war vor Zeiten Fürst über sie - der Herr sei mit ihm! -
21 Secharja, der Sohn Meschelemjas, war Torhüter an der Tür der Stiftshütte.
22 Die Gesamtzahl derer, die auserlesen waren zu Torhütern an den Schwellen, betrug 212. Sie wurden in ihren Dörfern eingetragen; David und Samuel, der Seher, hatten sie eingesetzt in ihre Vertrauensstellung. 23 Und sie und ihre Söhne hielten an den Toren des Hauses des Herrn, an der Zeltwohnung, Wache.
24 Nach den vier Winden sollten die Torhüter stehen, gegen Aufgang, gegen Abend, gegen Mitternacht und gegen Mittag. 25 Und ihre Brüder in ihren Dörfern hatten je für sieben Tage, von Termin zu Termin, zu ihnen zu kommen.
26 Denn sie hatten einen Vertrauensposten, die vier Vorsteher der Türhüter; sie waren Leviten; sie waren auch über die Zellen und über die Schätze des Hauses Gottes gesetzt. 27 Und sie übernachteten in der Umgebung des Hauses Gottes; denn ihnen lag die Wache ob, und sie hatten jeden Morgen aufzuschließen.
28 Und etliche von ihnen waren [bestellt] über die Geräte des [Gottes-] Dienstes; denn abgezählt brachten sie sie hinein, und nach der Zahl taten sie sie heraus. 29 Und etliche von ihnen waren über die Geräte gesetzt, über alle heiligen Geräte und über das Feinmehl und den Wein und das Öl und den Weihrauch und die Spezereien. 30 Und etliche von den Söhnen der Priester mischten Salböl für die Spezereien. 31 Und dem Mattitja aus den Leviten - er war der Erstgeborene Schallums, des Korahiters, - war das Pfannen-Backwerk anvertraut. 32 Und etliche von den Kindern der Kahatiter, von ihren Brüdern, waren über die Schaubrote gesetzt, sie zuzurichten, Sabbat für Sabbat.
33 Und jene, die Sänger, Stammhäupter der Leviten, wohnten frei[a] in den Zellen; denn Tag und Nacht liegt ihnen der Dienst ob.
34 Das sind die Stammhäupter der Leviten, nach ihren Geschlechtern, Oberhäupter; diese wohnten zu Jerusalem.
Geschlechtsregister von Saul und Jonatan
35 Und zu Gibeon wohnten: der Vater Gibeons, Jeiel; sein Weib hieß Maacha. 36 Und sein Sohn, der Erstgeborene, war Abdon, und Zur und Kis und Baal und Ner und Nadab 37 und Gedor und Achjo und Sacharja und Miklot. 38 Und Miklot zeugte Schimeam, und auch diese wohnten ihren Brüdern gegenüber zu Jerusalem, bei ihren Brüdern. 39 Und Ner zeugte Kis und Kis zeugte Saul, und Saul zeugte Jonatan und Malkischua und Abinadab und Eschbaal. 40 Und der Sohn Jonatans war Meribbaal, und Meribbaal zeugte Micha. 41 Und die Söhne Michas: Piton und Melech und Tachrea, [und Achas].
42 Und Achas zeugte Jara, und Jara zeugte Alemet und Asmavet und Simri, und Simri zeugte Moza. 43 Moza zeugte Binea, und dessen Sohn war Rephaja, dessen Sohn Elasa, dessen Sohn Azel. 44 Und Azel hatte sechs Söhne, und das sind ihre Namen: Asrikam, Bochru, Jismael, Schearja, Obadja und Chanan. Das waren die Söhne Azels.
