25 Moreover, David and the commanders of the army set apart for the service some of the sons of (A)Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, who were to (B)prophesy with lyres, (C)harps, and cymbals; and the number of [a]those who performed this service was: 2 Of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and [b]Asharelah; the sons of Asaph were [c]under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied [d]under the direction of the king. 3 (D)Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, [e]Zeri, Jeshaiah, [f]Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six in all, [g]under the direction of their father Jeduthun with the harp, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising the Lord. 4 Of Heman, the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, [h]Uzziel, [i]Shebuel and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti and Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth. 5 All these were the sons of Heman (E)the king’s seer to [j]exalt him according to the words of God, for God gave fourteen sons and three daughters to Heman. 6 All of these were under the [k]direction of their father to sing in the house of the Lord, (F)with cymbals, harps, and lyres, for the service of the house of God. (G)Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were [l]under the direction of the king. 7 Their number who were trained in singing to the Lord, with their relatives, all who were skillful, was (H)288.

Divisions of the Gatekeepers

26 For the divisions of the gatekeepers there were of the Korahites, [o]Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of [p]Asaph. 2 Meshelemiah had sons: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth, 3 Elam the fifth, Johanan the sixth, and Eliehoenai the seventh. 4 (J)Obed-edom had sons: Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sacar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth, 5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, and Peullethai the eighth; God had indeed blessed him. 6 Also to his son Shemaiah sons were born who ruled over the house of their father, for they were valiant mighty men. 7 The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad, whose brothers, Elihu and Semachiah, were valiant men. 8 All these were of the sons of Obed-edom; they and their sons and relatives were able men with strength for the service, sixty-two from Obed-edom. 9 Meshelemiah had sons and relatives, eighteen valiant men. 10 Also (K)Hosah, one of the sons of Merari had sons: Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father made him first), 11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, and Zechariah the fourth; the sons and relatives of Hosah were thirteen in all.

12 To these divisions of the gatekeepers, to the chief men, were given duties like their relatives, to serve in the house of the Lord. 13 (L)They cast lots, the small and the great alike, according to their fathers’ households, for every gate. 14 The lot to the east fell to [q]Shelemiah. Then they cast lots for his son Zechariah, a counselor with insight, and his lot came out to the north. 15 For Obed-edom it fell to the south, and to his sons went the storehouse. 16 For Shuppim and Hosah it was to the west, by the gate of Shallecheth, on the ascending highway. Guard corresponded to guard. 17 On the east there were six Levites, on the north four daily, on the south four daily, and at the storehouse two by two. 18 At the [r](M)annex on the west there were four at the highway and two at the annex. 19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers of the sons of Korah and of the sons of Merari.

Keepers of the Treasure

20 [s]The Levites, their relatives, were in (N)charge of the treasures of the house of God and of the treasures of the dedicated gifts. 21 The sons of Ladan, the sons of the Gershonites belonging to Ladan, namely, the Jehielites, were the heads of the fathers’ households, belonging to Ladan the Gershonite.

22 The sons of Jehieli, Zetham, and his brother Joel, were in charge of the treasures of the house of the Lord. 23 As for the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites, 24 Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was officer over the treasures. 25 His relatives by Eliezer were Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zichri his son, and Shelomoth his son. 26 This Shelomoth and his relatives were in charge of all the treasures of the dedicated gifts (O)which King David and the heads of the fathers’ households, the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and the commanders of the army, had dedicated. 27 They dedicated [t]part of the spoils won in battles to repair the house of the Lord. 28 And all that Samuel the seer had dedicated, and Saul the son of Kish, Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, everyone who had dedicated anything, all of this was [u]under the care of [v]Shelomoth and his relatives.

Outside Duties

29 As for the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons (P)were assigned to outside duties for Israel, as (Q)officers and judges. 30 As for the Hebronites, (R)Hashabiah and his relatives, 1,700 capable men, [w]were responsible for the affairs of Israel [x]west of the Jordan, for all the work of the Lord and the service of the king. 31 As for the Hebronites, (S)Jerijah the chief [y](these Hebronites were sought out according to their genealogies and fathers’ households, in the fortieth year of David’s reign, and men of outstanding capability were found among them at (T)Jazer of Gilead) 32 and his relatives, capable men, numbered 2,700, heads of fathers’ households. And King David appointed them as overseers of the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of the Manassites (U)concerning [z]all the affairs of God and of the king.

The Musicians

25 Moreover David and the captains of the army separated for the service some of the sons of (A)Asaph, of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, stringed instruments, and cymbals. And the number of the skilled men performing their service was: 2 Of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and [a]Asharelah; the sons of Asaph were [b]under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied according to the order of the king. 3 Of (B)Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, [c]Zeri, Jeshaiah, [d]Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, [e]six, under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp to give thanks and to praise the Lord. 4 Of Heman, the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, [f]Uzziel, [g]Shebuel, [h]Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth. 5 All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to [i]exalt his (C)horn. For God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

6 All these were under the direction of their father for the music in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and (D)harps, for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were (E)under the authority of the king. 7 So the (F)number of them, with their brethren who were instructed in the songs of the Lord, all who were skillful, was two hundred and eighty-eight.

8 And they cast lots for their duty, the small as well as the great, (G)the teacher with the student.

9 Now the first lot for Asaph came out for Joseph; the second for Gedaliah, him with his brethren and sons, twelve; 10 the third for Zaccur, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 11 the fourth for [j]Jizri, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 12 the fifth for Nethaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 13 the sixth for Bukkiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 14 the seventh for [k]Jesharelah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 15 the eighth for Jeshaiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 16 the ninth for Mattaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 17 the tenth for Shimei, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 18 the eleventh for [l]Azarel, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 19 the twelfth for Hashabiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 20 the thirteenth for [m]Shubael, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 21 the fourteenth for Mattithiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 22 the fifteenth for [n]Jeremoth, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 23 the sixteenth for Hananiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 24 the seventeenth for Joshbekashah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 25 the eighteenth for Hanani, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 26 the nineteenth for Mallothi, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 27 the twentieth for Eliathah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 28 the twenty-first for Hothir, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 29 the twenty-second for Giddalti, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 30 the twenty-third for Mahazioth, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 31 the twenty-fourth for Romamti-Ezer, his sons and his brethren, twelve.

The Gatekeepers

26 Concerning the divisions of the gatekeepers: of the Korahites, [o]Meshelemiah the son of (H)Kore, of the sons of [p]Asaph. 2 And the sons of Meshelemiah were (I)Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth, 3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Eliehoenai the seventh.

4 Moreover the sons of (J)Obed-Edom were Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sacar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth, 5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth; for God blessed him.

6 Also to Shemaiah his son were sons born who governed their fathers’ houses, because they were men of great ability. 7 The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad, whose brothers Elihu and Semachiah were able men.

8 All these were of the sons of Obed-Edom, they and their sons and their brethren, (K)able men with strength for the work: sixty-two of Obed-Edom.

9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, eighteen able men.

10 Also (L)Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons: Shimri the first (for though he was not the firstborn, his father made him the first), 11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth; all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.

12 Among these were the divisions of the gatekeepers, among the chief men, having duties just like their brethren, to serve in the house of the Lord. 13 And they (M)cast lots for each gate, the small as well as the great, according to their father’s house. 14 The lot for the East Gate fell to [q]Shelemiah. Then they cast lots for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and his lot came out for the North Gate; 15 to Obed-Edom the South Gate, and to his sons the [r]storehouse. 16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came out for the West Gate, with the Shallecheth Gate on the (N)ascending highway—watchman opposite watchman. 17 On the east were six Levites, on the north four each day, on the south four each day, and for the [s]storehouse two by two. 18 As for the [t]Parbar on the west, there were four on the highway and two at the Parbar. 19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers among the sons of Korah and among the sons of Merari.

The Treasuries and Other Duties

20 Of the Levites, Ahijah was (O)over the treasuries of the house of God and over the treasuries of the (P)dedicated[u] things. 21 The sons of [v]Laadan, the descendants of the Gershonites of Laadan, heads of their fathers’ houses, of Laadan the Gershonite: [w]Jehieli. 22 The sons of Jehieli, Zetham and Joel his brother, were over the treasuries of the house of the Lord. 23 Of the (Q)Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites: 24 (R)Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was overseer of the treasuries. 25 And his brethren by Eliezer were Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zichri his son, and (S)Shelomith his son.

26 This Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasuries of the dedicated things (T)which King David and the heads of fathers’ houses, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the army, had dedicated. 27 Some of the [x]spoils won in battles they dedicated to maintain the house of the Lord. 28 And all that Samuel (U)the seer, Saul the son of Kish, Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah had dedicated, every dedicated thing, was under the hand of Shelomith and his brethren.

29 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons (V)performed duties as (W)officials and judges over Israel outside Jerusalem.

30 Of the Hebronites, (X)Hashabiah and his brethren, one thousand seven hundred able men, had the oversight of Israel on the west side of the Jordan for all the business of the Lord, and in the service of the king. 31 Among the Hebronites, (Y)Jerijah was head of the Hebronites according to his genealogy of the fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought, and there were found among them capable men (Z)at Jazer of Gilead. 32 And his brethren were two thousand seven hundred able men, heads of fathers’ houses, whom King David made officials over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God and the (AA)affairs of the king.

De profetiske sangere og musikere

25 David udnævnte derefter i samråd med sine officerer Asaf, Heman og Jedutun samt deres sønner til at lede tjenesten med profetisk sang og musik på lyrer, harper og bækkener.

2 Asafs fire sønner hed Zakkur, Josef, Netanja og Asarela. De var under ledelse af deres far, som var profet i kongens tjeneste.

3 Jedutuns seks sønner hed Gedalja, Zeri, Jeshaja, Shimi,[a] Hashabja og Mattitja. De var under ledelse af deres far, som spillede på harpe og takkede og lovpriste Herren under profetisk inspiration.

4-5 Hemans sønner hed Bukkija, Mattanja, Uzziel, Shubael, Jerimot, Hananja, Hanani, Eliata, Giddalti, Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekasha, Malloti, Hotir og Mahaziot. Også Heman var profet i kongens tjeneste, og Herren havde velsignet ham med 14 sønner og tre døtre.

6 Alle disse sangere og musikere stod under deres fædres ledelse og spillede på lyrer, harper og bækkener i Herrens hus, mens Asaf, Jedutun og Heman stod direkte under kongen.

7 Både de selv og deres slægtninge, i alt 288 mænd, var uddannet i at synge og spille til Herrens ære. 8 Hvornår, de skulle gøre tjeneste i templet, blev afgjort ved lodtrækning, uden hensyntagen til alder og erfaring.

9-31 Hvert hold bestod af en leder samt 11 af hans sønner og slægtninge, og lodtrækningen resulterede i følgende rækkefølge: Josef nr. 1, Gedalja nr. 2, Zakkur nr. 3, Jitzri nr. 4, Netanja nr. 5, Bukkija nr. 6, Jesarela nr. 7, Jeshaja nr. 8, Mattanja nr. 9, Shimi nr. 10, Azarel nr. 11, Hashabja nr. 12, Shubael nr. 13, Mattitja nr. 14, Jeremot nr. 15, Hananja nr. 16, Joshbekasha nr. 17, Hanani nr. 18, Malloti nr. 19, Elijata nr. 20, Hotir nr. 21, Giddalti nr. 22, Mahaziot nr. 23 og Romamti-Ezer nr. 24.

Tempelvagterne

26 Blandt tempelvagterne var der følgende ledere: Fra Koras[b] slægt var der Meshelemja, en søn af Kore, som var efterkommer af Asaf. 2-3 Meshelemja havde syv sønner: Zekarja, Jediael, Zebadja, Jatniel, Elam, Johanan og Eljoenaj.

4-5 Desuden var der Obed-Edom og hans otte sønner: Shemaja, Jozabad, Joa, Sakar, Netanel, Ammiel, Issakar og Peulletaj.

6-7 Shemaja, Obed-Edoms ældste søn, havde fire sønner: Otni, Refael, Obed og Elzabad, som var dygtige og højt ansete i deres slægt. Deres slægtninge Elihu og Semakja var også meget dygtige.

8 Af Obed-Edoms familie blev 62 udvalgt, alle yderst kvalificerede til tjenesten.

9 Af Meshelemjas familie blev der i alt udpeget 18 dygtige mænd.

10-11 Fra Meraris slægt var der Hosa og hans sønner Shimri, Hilkija, Tebalja og Zekarja. Shimri blev af sin far udvalgt som overhoved, skønt han ikke var den ældste. Af Hosas familie blev i alt 13 mænd udpeget til tempelvagter.

12 Tempelvagterne blev inddelt i skiftehold, som fik navn efter deres slægtsoverhoved, og ligesom de øvrige levitter havde de deres særlige opgaver i templet. 13 Det blev afgjort ved lodtrækning, hvilken af templets forskellige porte de hver især fik ansvar for at holde vagt ved, og der blev ikke taget hensyn til mændenes alder. 14-15 Ansvaret for østporten tilfaldt Meshelemja og hans hold. Hans ældste søn, Zekarja, der besad usædvanlig visdom, fik ansvar for nordporten. Obed-Edom og hans hold fik tildelt sydporten, mens hans sønner fik ansvaret for forrådskamrene. 16 Shuppim og Hosa fik tildelt portkomplekset mod vest og Shalleketporten ved vejen, der gik stejlt opad. Den ene vagt afløste den anden på faste tidspunkter.[c]

17 Hver dag var der seks vagter ved østporten, fire ved nordporten, fire ved sydporten og to ved forrådskamrene. 18 Desuden var der hver dag seks vagter ved portkomplekset mod vest, fire ved porten ud til vejen og to i portrummet. 19 Opgaven med at holde vagt ved templets porte tilfaldt altså medlemmer af Koras og Meraris slægter.

De ansvarlige for templets skatte

20 En anden gruppe levitter fik overdraget ansvaret for de skatte, der blev opbevaret i templet, både gaver, der blev bragt som ofre, og krigsbytte, som blev overdraget til templet.

21-22 Familieoverhovederne Zetam og Joel fik ansvaret for de gaver, der blev givet til templet. De var sønner af Jehieli, som gennem Ladan nedstammede fra Gershon.[d]

23 Fra de fire slægter, der nedstammede fra Kehats sønner, Amram, Jitzhar, Hebron og Uzziel, blev der udtaget følgende ledere:

24 Først var der Shubael, som nedstammede fra Gershom, en søn af Moses fra Amrams slægt. Han fik det øverste ansvar for samtlige tempelskatte.

25-26 Dernæst Shelomot, som nedstammede fra Amram gennem Moses’ anden søn, Eliezer, og gennem dennes efterkommere Rehabja, Jeshaja, Joram og Zikri. Shelomot og hans familie fik ansvaret for alt det krigsbytte, som kong David og hærens officerer bragte til Herrens hus som gaver. 27 En del af krigsbyttet blev gemt til at reparere templet med.[e] 28 De fik også overdraget det krigsbytte, som tidligere var blevet bragt som gaver til Herrens hus af Samuel, Saul, Abner og Joab.

Administrative ledere indsættes

29 Kenanja og hans slægt blev udpeget til administrative ledere og dommere i Israel. De nedstammede fra Kehats søns Jitzhar.

30 Hashabja, som var efterkommer af Kehats søn Hebron, og 1700 af hans slægt, alle dygtige mænd, fik ansvar for at forvalte alle religiøse og offentlige sager i den del af Israel, der lå vest for Jordanfloden.

31-32 I den anden del af Israel—i området øst for Jordanfloden, hvor Rubens, Gads og Manasses halve stamme boede—fik 2700 dygtige mænd af Hebrons slægt ansvaret for religiøse og offentlige sager. De stod under ledelse af Jerija, som ifølge slægtsregistrene var overhoved for alle familier fra Hebrons slægt. I kong Davids 40. regeringsår søgte man i slægtsregistrene og fandt frem til alle disse dygtige mænd fra Hebrons slægt, som boede omkring Jazer i Gilead.

The Gatekeepers

26 The divisions of the gatekeepers:(P)

From the Korahites: Meshelemiah son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph.

2 Meshelemiah had sons:

Zechariah(Q) 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,

Sakar the fourth,

Nethanel the fifth,

5 Ammiel the sixth,

Issachar the seventh

and Peullethai the eighth.

(For God had blessed Obed-Edom.(R))

6 Obed-Edom’s son Shemaiah also had sons, who were leaders in their father’s family because they were very capable men. 7 The sons of Shemaiah: Othni, Rephael, Obed and Elzabad; his relatives Elihu and Semakiah were also able men. 8 All these were descendants of Obed-Edom; they and their sons and their relatives were capable men with the strength to do the work—descendants of Obed-Edom, 62 in all.

9 Meshelemiah had sons and relatives, who were able men—18 in all.

10 Hosah the Merarite had sons: Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father had appointed him the first),(S) 11 Hilkiah the second, Tabaliah the third and Zechariah the fourth. The sons and relatives of Hosah were 13 in all.

12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, through their leaders, had duties for ministering(T) in the temple of the Lord, just as their relatives had. 13 Lots(U) were cast for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike.

14 The lot for the East Gate(V) fell to Shelemiah.[g] Then lots were cast for his son Zechariah,(W) a wise counselor, and the lot for the North Gate fell to him. 15 The lot for the South Gate fell to Obed-Edom,(X) and the lot for the storehouse fell to his sons. 16 The lots for the West Gate and the Shalleketh Gate on the upper road fell to Shuppim and Hosah.

Guard was alongside of guard: 17 There were six Levites a day on the east, four a day on the north, four a day on the south and two at a time at the storehouse. 18 As for the court[h] to the west, there were four at the road and two at the court[i] itself.

19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers who were descendants of Korah and Merari.(Y)

The Treasurers and Other Officials

20 Their fellow Levites(Z) were[j] in charge of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries for the dedicated things.(AA)

21 The descendants of Ladan, who were Gershonites through Ladan and who were heads of families belonging to Ladan the Gershonite,(AB) were Jehieli, 22 the sons of Jehieli, Zetham and his brother Joel. They were in charge of the treasuries(AC) of the temple of the Lord.

23 From the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites and the Uzzielites:(AD)

24 Shubael,(AE) a descendant of Gershom son of Moses, was the official in charge of the treasuries. 25 His relatives through Eliezer: Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zikri his son and Shelomith(AF) his son. 26 Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of all the treasuries for the things dedicated(AG) by King David, by the heads of families who were the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and by the other army commanders. 27 Some of the plunder taken in battle they dedicated for the repair of the temple of the Lord. 28 And everything dedicated by Samuel the seer(AH) and by Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner and Joab son of Zeruiah, and all the other dedicated things were in the care of Shelomith and his relatives.

29 From the Izharites: Kenaniah and his sons were assigned duties away from the temple, as officials and judges(AI) over Israel.

30 From the Hebronites: Hashabiah(AJ) and his relatives—seventeen hundred able men—were responsible in Israel west of the Jordan for all the work of the Lord and for the king’s service. 31 As for the Hebronites,(AK) Jeriah was their chief according to the genealogical records of their families. In the fortieth(AL) year of David’s reign a search was made in the records, and capable men among the Hebronites were found at Jazer in Gilead. 32 Jeriah had twenty-seven hundred relatives, who were able men and heads of families, and King David put them in charge of the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh for every matter pertaining to God and for the affairs of the king.
