1 Crónicas 26
Nueva Traducción Viviente
Responsabilidades de los porteros
26 Estas son las divisiones de los porteros:
De los coreítas estaba Meselemías, hijo de Koré, de la familia de Abiasaf.[a] 2 Los hijos de Meselemías fueron Zacarías (el mayor), Jediael (el segundo), Zebadías (el tercero), Jatniel (el cuarto), 3 Elam (el quinto), Johanán (el sexto) y Elioenai (el séptimo).
4 Los hijos de Obed-edom, también porteros, fueron Semaías (el mayor), Jozabad (el segundo), Joa (el tercero), Sacar (el cuarto), Natanael (el quinto), 5 Amiel (el sexto), Isacar (el séptimo) y Peultai (el octavo). Dios había bendecido a Obed-edom en gran manera.
6 Semaías, el hijo de Obed-edom, tuvo hijos muy capaces que obtuvieron posiciones de gran autoridad en el clan. 7 Sus nombres fueron Otni, Rafael, Obed y Elzabad. Sus parientes, Eliú y Samaquías, fueron también hombres muy capaces.
8 Todos estos descendientes de Obed-edom, entre ellos sus hijos y nietos—sesenta y dos en total—eran hombres muy capaces y competentes para su trabajo.
9 Los dieciocho hijos y parientes de Meselemías también fueron hombres muy capaces.
10 Hosa, del clan de Merari, designó a Simri jefe de entre sus hijos aunque no era el mayor. 11 Entre sus otros hijos estaban Hilcías (el segundo), Tebalías (el tercero) y Zacarías (el cuarto). Los hijos y parientes de Hosa que sirvieron como porteros sumaban trece en total.
12 Estas divisiones de porteros llevaban el nombre del jefe de su familia y, al igual que los demás levitas, servían en la casa del Señor. 13 Fueron designados por familias para estar de guardia en las distintas puertas, sin tomar en cuenta su edad o preparación, porque todo se decidía por medio del sorteo sagrado.
14 La responsabilidad por la puerta oriental le tocó a Meselemías[b] y a su grupo. La puerta del norte fue asignada a Zacarías, un hombre de una sabiduría fuera de lo común. 15 La puerta del sur le tocó a Obed-edom, y sus hijos quedaron a cargo del depósito. 16 A Supim y a Hosa les asignaron la puerta occidental y la entrada que conduce al templo.[c] Los turnos de guardia se dividían de manera equitativa. 17 Cada día se asignaban seis levitas a la puerta oriental, cuatro a la puerta del norte, cuatro a la puerta del sur y dos pares al depósito. 18 Cada día se asignaban seis levitas a la puerta occidental, cuatro a la entrada que conduce al templo y dos al atrio.[d]
19 Esas fueron las divisiones de los porteros de los clanes de Coré y Merari.
Los tesoreros y otros funcionarios
20 Otros levitas, bajo la dirección de Ahías, estaban a cargo de los tesoros de la casa de Dios y de los tesoros que contenían las ofrendas dedicadas al Señor. 21 Jehiel[e] fue el líder de la familia de Libni,[f] del clan de Gersón. 22 Zetam y su hermano Joel, hijos de Jehiel, estaban a cargo de los tesoros de la casa del Señor.
23 Estos son los líderes que descendían de Amram, Izhar, Hebrón y Uziel:
24 Del clan de Amram, Sebuel fue un descendiente de Gersón, hijo de Moisés. Era el funcionario principal de los tesoros. 25 Sus parientes por parte de Eliezer fueron Rehabías, Jesaías, Joram, Zicri y Selomot.
26 Selomot y sus parientes estaban a cargo de los tesoros que contenían las ofrendas que el rey David, los jefes de familia, los generales, los capitanes[g] y otros oficiales del ejército habían dedicado al Señor. 27 Estos hombres dedicaron para el mantenimiento de la casa del Señor parte del botín que habían ganado en batalla. 28 Selomot[h] y sus parientes también cuidaban las ofrendas dedicadas al Señor por Samuel, el vidente; Saúl, hijo de Cis; Abner, hijo de Ner, y Joab, hijo de Sarvia. Todas las demás ofrendas que habían sido dedicadas también estaban a su cargo.
29 Del clan de Izhar, a Quenanías y a sus hijos se les dieron responsabilidades administrativas[i] como funcionarios y jueces sobre Israel.
30 Del clan de Hebrón, Hasabías y sus parientes—mil setecientos hombres capaces—quedaron a cargo de las tierras israelitas al occidente del río Jordán. Eran responsables de todos los asuntos relacionados con el trabajo del Señor y con el servicio al rey en esa área.
31 También del clan de Hebrón estaba Jerías, quien era el jefe de los hebronitas, según los registros genealógicos. (En el año cuarenta del reinado de David se hizo una investigación en los registros y se encontraron hombres capaces del clan de Hebrón en Jazer, en la tierra de Galaad). 32 Había dos mil setecientos hombres capaces entre los parientes de Jerías. El rey David los envió al lado oriental del río Jordán y los puso a cargo de la tribu de Rubén, de la tribu de Gad y de la media tribu de Manasés. Eran responsables de todos los asuntos relacionados con Dios y con el rey.

26 Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites was Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.
2 And the sons of Meshelemiah were, Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh.
4 Moreover the sons of Obededom were, Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth.
5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth: for God blessed him.
6 Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they were mighty men of valour.
7 The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah.
8 All these of the sons of Obededom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were threescore and two of Obededom.
9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen.
10 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;)
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 porters, even among the chief men, having wards one against another, to minister in the house of the Lord.
13 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.
14 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.
15 To Obededom southward; and to his sons the house of Asuppim.
16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward against ward.
17 Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and toward Asuppim two and two.
18 At Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar.
19 These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore, and among the sons of Merari.
20 And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of the house of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things.
21 As concerning the sons of Laadan; the sons of the Gershonite Laadan, chief fathers, even of Laadan the Gershonite, were Jehieli.
22 The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother, which were over the treasures of the house of the Lord.
23 Of the Amramites, and the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites:
24 And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of the treasures.
25 And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son.
26 Which Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the host, had dedicated.
27 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the Lord.
28 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated; and whosoever had dedicated any thing, it was under the hand of Shelomith, and of his brethren.
29 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward business over Israel, for officers and judges.
30 And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, men of valour, a thousand and seven hundred, were officers among them of Israel on this side Jordan westward in all the business of the Lord, and in the service of the king.
31 Among the Hebronites was Jerijah the chief, even among the Hebronites, according to the generations of his fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought for, and there were found among them mighty men of valour at Jazer of Gilead.
32 And his brethren, men of valour, were two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king.

The Gatekeepers
26 Concerning the divisions of the gatekeepers: of the Korahites, [a]Meshelemiah the son of (A)Kore, of the sons of [b]Asaph. 2 And the sons of Meshelemiah were (B)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 (C)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, (D)able men with strength for the work: sixty-two of Obed-Edom.
9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, eighteen able men.
10 Also (E)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 (F)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 [c]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 [d]storehouse. 16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came out for the West Gate, with the Shallecheth Gate on the (G)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 [e]storehouse two by two. 18 As for the [f]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 (H)over the treasuries of the house of God and over the treasuries of the (I)dedicated[g] things. 21 The sons of [h]Laadan, the descendants of the Gershonites of Laadan, heads of their fathers’ houses, of Laadan the Gershonite: [i]Jehieli. 22 The sons of Jehieli, Zetham and Joel his brother, were over the treasuries of the house of the Lord. 23 Of the (J)Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites: 24 (K)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 (L)Shelomith his son.
26 This Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasuries of the dedicated things (M)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 [j]spoils won in battles they dedicated to maintain the house of the Lord. 28 And all that Samuel (N)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 (O)performed duties as (P)officials and judges over Israel outside Jerusalem.
30 Of the Hebronites, (Q)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, (R)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 (S)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 (T)affairs of the king.
