The Levitical Gatekeepers
26 The following were the divisions of the gatekeepers:
From the Korahites: Meshelemiah son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph.
2 Meshelemiah had sons:
Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second,
Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth,
and Eliehoenai the seventh.
4 Obed-edom also had sons:
Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second,
Joah the third, Sachar the fourth,
Nethanel the fifth, 5 Ammiel the sixth,
Issachar the seventh, and Peullethai the eighth,
for God blessed him.
6 Also, to his son Shemaiah were born sons who ruled over their ancestral houses because they were strong, capable men.
7 Shemaiah’s sons: Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad; his brothers Elihu and Semachiah were also capable men. 8 All of these were among the sons of Obed-edom with their sons and brothers; they were capable men with strength for the work—62 from Obed-edom.
9 Meshelemiah also had sons and brothers who were capable men—18.
10 Hosah,(A) from the Merarites, also had sons: Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father had appointed him as the first), 11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, and Zechariah the fourth. The sons and brothers of Hosah were 13 in all.
12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, under their leading men, had duties for ministering in the Lord’s temple, just as their brothers did. 13 They cast lots for each gate according to their ancestral houses, young and old alike.(B)
14 The lot for the east gate fell to Shelemiah.[a] They also cast lots for his son Zechariah, an insightful counselor, and his lot came out for the north gate. 15 Obed-edom’s was the south gate, and his sons’ lot was for the storehouses; 16 it was the west gate and the gate of Shallecheth on the ascending highway for Shuppim and Hosah.
There were guards stationed at every watch. 17 There were six Levites each day[b] on the east, four each day on the north, four each day on the south, and two pair at the storehouses. 18 As for the court on the west, there were four at the highway and two at the court. 19 Those were the divisions of the gatekeepers from the sons of the Korahites and Merarites.
The Levitical Treasurers and Other Officials
20 From the Levites, Ahijah was in charge of the treasuries of God’s temple and the treasuries of what had been dedicated.(C) 21 From the sons of Ladan, who were the sons of the Gershonites through Ladan and were the heads of families belonging to Ladan the Gershonite: Jehieli. 22 The sons of Jehieli, Zetham and his brother Joel, were in charge of the treasuries of the Lord’s temple.
23 From the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites: 24 Shebuel, a descendant of Moses’ son Gershom, was the officer in charge of the treasuries. 25 His relative through Eliezer: his son Rehabiah, his son Jeshaiah, his son Joram, his son Zichri, and his son Shelomith.[c] 26 This Shelomith[d] and his brothers were in charge of all the treasuries of what had been dedicated by King David,(D) by the heads of families who were the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and by the army commanders. 27 They dedicated part of the plunder from their battles for the repair of the Lord’s temple. 28 All that Samuel the seer, Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah had dedicated, along with everything else that had been dedicated, were in the care of Shelomith[e] and his brothers.
29 From the Izrahites: Chenaniah and his sons had the outside duties(E) as officers and judges(F) over Israel. 30 From the Hebronites: Hashabiah(G) and his relatives, 1,700 capable men, had assigned duties in Israel west of the Jordan for all the work of the Lord and for the service of the king. 31 From the Hebronites: Jerijah(H) was the head of the Hebronites, according to the genealogical records of his ancestors. A search was made in the fortieth year of David’s reign and strong, capable men were found among them at Jazer(I) in Gilead. 32 There were among Jerijah’s relatives, 2,700 capable men who were heads of families. King David appointed them over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh as overseers in every matter relating to God and the king.(J)

Jediael, o segundo,
Zebadias, o terceiro,

Pois Deus havia abençoado

6 Seu filho Semaías também teve filhos,
que foram líderes na família do seu pai,
pois eram homens capazes.
7 Foram estes os filhos de Semaías:
Otni, Rafael, Obede e Elzabade.
Os parentes dele, Eliú e Semaquias,
também foram homens capazes.
8 Todos esses foram
descendentes de Obede-Edom;
eles e os seus filhos e parentes
eram capazes e aptos para a obra.
Eram ao todo 62 descendentes
de Obede-Edom.
9 Meselemias teve 18 filhos
e parentes chegados,
todos eles homens capazes.
10 Foram estes os filhos de Hosa,
o merarita:
Sinri, que foi nomeado chefe
por seu pai,
mesmo não sendo o mais velho,
11 Hilquias, o segundo,
Tebalias, o terceiro,
e Zacarias, o quarto.
Os filhos e parentes de Hosa
foram 13 ao todo.
12 Essas foram as divisões dos porteiros, feitas pelos chefes deles; eles cumpriam tarefas no serviço do templo do Senhor, assim como seus parentes. 13 Lançaram sortes entre as famílias, incluindo jovens e velhos, para que cuidassem de cada porta.
14 A porta leste coube a Selemias[a]. Então lançaram sortes para seu filho Zacarias, sábio conselheiro, e a porta norte foi sorteada para ele. 15 A sorte da porta sul saiu para Obede-Edom, e a do depósito, para seus filhos. 16 A sorte da porta oeste e da porta Salequete, na rua de cima, saiu para Supim e Hosa. Os guardas ficavam um ao lado do outro. 17 Havia seis levitas por dia no leste, quatro no norte, quatro no sul e dois de cada vez no depósito. 18 Quanto ao pátio a oeste, havia quatro na rua e dois no próprio pátio.
19 Foram essas as divisões dos porteiros, descendentes de Coré e Merari.
Os Tesoureiros e Outros Oficiais
20 Outros dos seus irmãos levitas estavam encarregados[b] dos depósitos dos tesouros do templo de Deus e do depósito das dádivas sagradas.
21 Os gersonitas, descendentes de Ladã, que eram chefes de famílias pertencentes a Ladã, foram Jeieli 22 e seus filhos Zetã e Joel, seu irmão. Estavam encarregados da tesouraria do templo do Senhor.
23 Dos filhos de Anrão, de Isar, de Hebrom e de Uziel:
24 Sebuel, um descendente de Gérson, filho de Moisés, era o oficial encarregado dos depósitos dos tesouros. 25 Seus parentes por parte de Eliézer foram seu filho Reabias, que foi o pai de Jesaías, o avô de Jorão, o bisavô de Zicri, o trisavô de Selomote. 26 Selomote e seus parentes estavam encarregados de todos os tesouros consagrados pelo rei Davi, pelos chefes de famílias que eram os comandantes de mil e de cem, e pelos outros líderes do exército. 27 Eles consagravam parte dos despojos tomados em combate para a manutenção do templo do Senhor. 28 E todas as dádivas consagradas pelo vidente Samuel, por Saul, filho de Quis, por Abner, filho de Ner, por Joabe, filho de Zeruia, e todas as demais dádivas sagradas estavam sob os cuidados de Selomote e seus parentes.
29 Dos filhos de Isar, Quenanias e seus filhos ficaram responsáveis pelos negócios públicos de Israel, atuando como oficiais e juízes.
30 Dos filhos de Hebrom, Hasabias e seus parentes ficaram responsáveis por todo o trabalho do Senhor e pelo serviço do rei em Israel, a oeste do Jordão; ao todo eram mil e setecentos homens capazes. 31 De acordo com os registros genealógicos das famílias hebronitas, Jerias foi o chefe delas. No ano quarenta do reinado de Davi fez-se uma busca nos registros, e entre os descendentes de Hebrom encontraram-se homens capazes em Jazar de Gileade. 32 Jerias tinha dois mil e setecentos parentes, homens capazes e chefes de famílias, que o rei Davi encarregou de todas as questões pertinentes a Deus e aos negócios do rei nas tribos de Rúben e de Gade, e na metade da tribo de Manassés.
