1 Chronicles 9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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 sons of Zerah:
Jeuel and 690 of their relatives.
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 956(D) of their relatives according to their genealogical records. All these men were heads of their ancestral houses.
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 1,760 of their relatives, the heads of households. 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 villages 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 household, the Korahites, were assigned to guard the thresholds of the tent.[b] 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 villages. David and Samuel the seer had appointed them(L) to their trusted positions. 23 So they and their sons were assigned 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 villages(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.[c] 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 genealogies, and lived in Jerusalem.

35 Jeiel fathered Gibeon and lived in Gibeon. His wife’s name was Maacah. 36 Abdon was his firstborn son, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab, 37 Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and Mikloth. 38 Mikloth fathered Shimeam. These also lived opposite their relatives in Jerusalem with their other relatives.

King James Version
9 So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they were written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, who were carried away to Babylon for their transgression.
2 Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their cities were, the Israelites, the priests, Levites, and the Nethinims.
3 And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and Manasseh;
4 Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the children of Pharez the son of Judah.
5 And of the Shilonites; Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons.
6 And of the sons of Zerah; Jeuel, and their brethren, six hundred and ninety.
7 And of the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah,
8 And Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephathiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah;
9 And their brethren, according to their generations, nine hundred and fifty and six. All these men were chief of the fathers in the house of their fathers.
10 And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin,
11 And Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God;
12 And Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasiai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer;
13 And their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
14 And of the Levites; Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;
15 And Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph;
16 And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites.
17 And the porters were, Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum was the chief;
18 Who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward: they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi.
19 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the host of the Lord, were keepers of the entry.
20 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the Lord was with him.
21 And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
22 All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office.
23 So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the Lord, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by wards.
24 In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.
25 And their brethren, which were in their villages, were to come after seven days from time to time with them.
26 For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
27 And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them.
28 And certain of them had the charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by tale.
29 Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
30 And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices.
31 And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were made in the pans.
32 And other of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath.
33 And these are the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites, who remaining in the chambers were free: for they were employed in that work day and night.
34 These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.
35 And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name was Maachah:
36 And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab.
37 And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.
38 And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, over against their brethren.
39 And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.
40 And the son of Jonathan was Meribbaal: and Meribbaal begat Micah.
41 And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, and Ahaz.
42 And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;
43 And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son.
44 And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan: these were the sons of Azel.
1 Cronache 9
Nuova Riveduta 2006
Abitanti di Gerusalemme dopo il ritorno dalla deportazione
9 (A)Tutti gli Israeliti furono registrati nelle genealogie e si trovano iscritti nel libro dei re d’Israele. Giuda fu deportato a Babilonia a causa delle sue infedeltà. 2 I primi abitanti che si stabilirono nelle loro proprietà e nelle loro città erano Israeliti, sacerdoti, Leviti e Netinei[a].
3 A Gerusalemme si stabilirono alcuni dei figli di Giuda, dei figli di Beniamino e dei figli di Efraim e di Manasse. 4 Dei figli di Perez, figlio di Giuda: Utai, figlio di Ammiud, figlio di Omri, figlio di Imri, figlio di Bani. 5 Dei Siloniti: Asaia il primogenito e i suoi figli. 6 Dei figli di Zera: Ieuel e i suoi fratelli, seicentonovanta in tutto. 7 Dei figli di Beniamino: Sallu, figlio di Mesullam, figlio di Odaiva, figlio di Assenua; 8 Ibneia, figlio di Ieroam; Ela, figlio di Uzzi, figlio di Micri; Mesullam, figlio di Sefatia, figlio di Reuel, figlio d’Ibnia; 9 e i loro fratelli, secondo le loro generazioni, novecentocinquantasei in tutto. Tutti questi erano capi delle rispettive case patriarcali.
10 (B)Dei sacerdoti: Iedaia, Ieoiarib, Iachin, 11 Azaria, figlio di Chilchia, figlio di Mesullam, figlio di Sadoc, figlio di Meraiot, figlio di Aitub, preposto alla casa di Dio, 12 Adaia, figlio di Ieroam, figlio di Pasur, figlio di Malchia; Maesai, figlio di Adiel, figlio di Iazera, figlio di Mesullam, figlio di Mesillemit, figlio di Immer; 13 e i loro fratelli, capi delle rispettive case patriarcali: millesettecentosessanta, uomini valorosissimi, occupati a compiere il servizio della casa di Dio.
14 (C)Dei Leviti: Semaia, figlio di Cassub, figlio di Azricam, figlio di Casabia, dei figli di Merari; 15 Bacbaccar, Cheres, Galal, Mattania, figlio di Mica, figlio di Zicri, figlio di Asaf; 16 Obadia, figlio di Semaia, figlio di Galal, figlio di Iedutun; Berechia, figlio di Asa, figlio di Elcana, che abitava nei villaggi dei Netofatiti.
17 Dei portinai: Sallum, Accub, Talmon, Aiman e i loro fratelli; Sallum era il capo; 18 e tale è rimasto fino a oggi, alla porta del re, che è a oriente. Essi sono quelli che furono i portieri dell’accampamento dei figli di Levi. 19 Sallum, figlio di Core, figlio di Ebiasaf, figlio di Corac, e i suoi fratelli, i Corachiti, della casa di suo padre, erano preposti all’opera del servizio come custodi delle porte del tabernacolo, mentre i loro padri erano stati preposti come custodi dell’entrata all’accampamento del Signore; 20 Fineas, figlio di Eleazar, era stato anticamente loro capo, e il Signore era con lui. 21 Zaccaria, figlio di Meselemia, era portiere all’ingresso della tenda di convegno. 22 Tutti questi, scelti per essere custodi degli ingressi, erano duecentododici ed erano iscritti nelle genealogie secondo i loro villaggi. Davide e Samuele il veggente li avevano stabiliti nelle loro funzioni. 23 Essi e i loro figli erano preposti alla custodia degli ingressi della casa del Signore, cioè della casa del tabernacolo. 24 C’erano dei portinai ai quattro lati: a oriente, a occidente, a settentrione e a mezzogiorno. 25 I loro fratelli, che abitavano nei loro villaggi, dovevano ogni tanto venire a stare dagli altri per sette giorni, 26 poiché i quattro capi portinai, Leviti, erano sempre in servizio e avevano anche la sorveglianza delle camere e dei tesori della casa di Dio, 27 e passavano la notte intorno alla casa di Dio, perché avevano l’incarico di custodirla, e a loro spettava d’aprirla tutte le mattine.
28 Tra di loro alcuni dovevano prendersi cura degli arredi del culto, che essi contavano quando si portavano nel tempio e quando si riportavano fuori. 29 Altri avevano l’incarico di custodire gli utensili, tutti i vasi sacri, il fior di farina, il vino, l’olio, l’incenso e gli aromi. 30 Quelli che preparavano i profumi aromatici erano figli di sacerdoti. 31 Mattitia, uno dei Leviti, primogenito di Sallum il Corachita, aveva il compito di badare alle cose che si dovevano cuocere sulla piastra. 32 E alcuni dei loro fratelli, tra i Cheatiti, erano incaricati di preparare per ogni sabato i pani della presentazione.
33 Questi sono i cantori, capi delle famiglie levitiche, che abitavano nelle camere del tempio ed erano esenti da ogni altro servizio, perché il loro servizio li teneva occupati giorno e notte. 34 Questi sono i capi delle famiglie levitiche, capi secondo le loro generazioni; essi stavano a Gerusalemme.
Genealogia di Saul e di Gionatan
35 (D)A Gabaon abitavano Ieiel, padre di Gabaon, la cui moglie si chiamava Maaca, 36 Abdon, suo figlio primogenito, Sur, Chis, Baal, Ner, Nadab, 37 Ghedor, Aio, Zaccaria e Miclot. 38 Miclot generò Simeam. Anch’essi abitavano di fronte ai loro fratelli a Gerusalemme insieme con i loro fratelli. 39 Ner generò Chis; Chis generò Saul; Saul generò Gionatan, Malchi-Sua, Abinadab ed Esbaal. 40 Il figlio di Gionatan fu Merib-Baal, e Merib-Baal generò Mica. 41 I figli di Mica furono: Piton, Melec, Taarea e Aaz[b]. 42 Aaz generò Iara; Iara generò Alemet, Azmavet e Zimri. Zimri generò Mosa. 43 Mosa generò Binea, che ebbe per figlio Refaia, che ebbe per figlio Eleasa, che ebbe per figlio Asel. 44 Asel ebbe sei figli. Questi sono i loro nomi: Azricam, Bocru, Ismaele, Searia, Obadia e Canan. Questi sono i figli di Asel.
