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.

Organización de los porteros
26 Para las clases de porteros: de los coreítas, Meselemías[a], hijo de Coré, de los hijos de Asaf[b]. 2 Y Meselemías tuvo hijos: Zacarías el primogénito, Jediael el segundo, Zebadías el tercero, Jatniel el cuarto, 3 Elam el quinto, Johanán el sexto, Elioenai el séptimo. 4 Y Obed-edom(A) tuvo hijos: Semaías el primogénito, Jozabad el segundo, Joa el tercero, Sacar el cuarto, Natanael el quinto, 5 Amiel el sexto, Isacar el séptimo y Paultai el octavo; porque Dios lo había bendecido. 6 Y a Semaías también le nacieron hijos que gobernaron la casa de su padre, porque eran hombres fuertes y valientes. 7 Los hijos de Semaías fueron Otni, Rafael, Obed y Elzabad, y sus hermanos, los valientes Eliú y Samaquías. 8 Todos estos fueron de los hijos de Obed-edom; ellos, sus hijos y sus parientes[c] fueron hombres capaces con fuerza para el servicio: sesenta y dos de Obed-edom. 9 Meselemías tuvo hijos y parientes: dieciocho hombres valientes. 10 También Hosa(B), uno de los hijos de Merari, tuvo hijos: Simri el primero (aunque no era el primogénito, su padre lo hizo el primero), 11 Hilcías el segundo, Tebalías el tercero, Zacarías el cuarto; todos los hijos y parientes de Hosa fueron trece.
12 A estas clases de los porteros, a los hombres principales, se les dieron deberes, al igual que a sus parientes, para servir en la casa del Señor. 13 Y echaron suertes, tanto los pequeños como los grandes(C), conforme a sus casas paternas, para cada puerta. 14 Y la suerte para la oriental cayó a Selemías[d]. Entonces echaron suertes para su hijo Zacarías, consejero entendido, y le tocó en suerte la del norte. 15 A Obed-edom le tocó la del sur, y a sus hijos los almacenes. 16 Para Supim y Hosa les tocó la del occidente, junto a la puerta de Salequet, en el camino de subida. Guardia con guardia se correspondían: 17 al oriente había seis levitas, al norte cuatro por día, al sur cuatro por día, y en el almacén de dos en dos; 18 en el Parbar[e](D), al occidente, había cuatro en el camino y dos en el Parbar. 19 Estas fueron las clases de los porteros de los hijos de Coré y de los hijos de Merari.
Los encargados de los tesoros
20 Y los levitas, sus parientes[f], estaban a cargo de[g] los tesoros de la casa de Dios y de los tesoros de los presentes consagrados(E). 21 Los hijos de Laadán, hijos de los gersonitas de Laadán, es decir, los jehielitas, eran los jefes de las casas paternas de Laadán gersonita. 22 Los hijos de Jehieli, Zetam y su hermano Joel, estaban a cargo de[h] los tesoros de la casa del Señor. 23 De los amramitas, los izharitas, los hebronitas y los uzielitas, 24 Sebuel, hijo de Gersón, hijo de Moisés, era oficial sobre los tesoros. 25 Y sus parientes de parte de Eliezer fueron Rehabías su hijo, Jesaías su hijo, Joram su hijo, Zicri su hijo y Selomit su hijo. 26 Este Selomit y sus parientes estaban a cargo de[i] todos los tesoros de las cosas sagradas que el rey David, los jefes de las casas paternas, los comandantes de millares y centenares y los comandantes del ejército habían consagrado(F). 27 Consagraron parte del botín ganado en batalla[j] para reparar la casa del Señor. 28 Y todo lo que había consagrado el vidente Samuel, y Saúl, hijo de Cis, y Abner, hijo de Ner, y Joab, hijo de Sarvia, todo lo consagrado estaba a cargo de[k] Selomit y sus parientes. 29 En cuanto a los izharitas, Quenanías y sus hijos fueron asignados para los negocios exteriores de Israel(G), como oficiales y jueces(H). 30 En cuanto a los hebronitas, Hasabías(I) y sus parientes, mil setecientos hombres de valor, estaban a cargo[l] de los negocios de Israel al occidente del Jordán[m], de toda la obra del Señor y del servicio del rey. 31 En cuanto a los hebronitas, Jerías(J) era el jefe (estos[n] hebronitas fueron investigados en relación con sus genealogías y casas paternas en el año cuarenta del reinado de David, y hombres muy capaces fueron hallados entre ellos en Jazer(K) de Galaad) 32 y sus parientes, hombres valientes, eran dos mil setecientos en número, jefes de casas paternas. Y el rey David los constituyó jefes sobre los rubenitas, los gaditas y la media tribu de Manasés para todos los asuntos de Dios y[o] del rey(L).

The Gatekeepers
26 The divisions of the gatekeepers:(A)
From the Korahites: Meshelemiah son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph.
2 Meshelemiah had sons:
Zechariah(B) 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.(C))
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),(D) 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(E) in the temple of the Lord, just as their relatives had. 13 Lots(F) were cast for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike.
14 The lot for the East Gate(G) fell to Shelemiah.[a] Then lots were cast for his son Zechariah,(H) a wise counselor, and the lot for the North Gate fell to him. 15 The lot for the South Gate fell to Obed-Edom,(I) 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[b] to the west, there were four at the road and two at the court[c] itself.
19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers who were descendants of Korah and Merari.(J)
The Treasurers and Other Officials
20 Their fellow Levites(K) were[d] in charge of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries for the dedicated things.(L)
21 The descendants of Ladan, who were Gershonites through Ladan and who were heads of families belonging to Ladan the Gershonite,(M) were Jehieli, 22 the sons of Jehieli, Zetham and his brother Joel. They were in charge of the treasuries(N) of the temple of the Lord.
23 From the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites and the Uzzielites:(O)
24 Shubael,(P) 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(Q) his son. 26 Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of all the treasuries for the things dedicated(R) 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(S) 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(T) over Israel.
30 From the Hebronites: Hashabiah(U) 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,(V) Jeriah was their chief according to the genealogical records of their families. In the fortieth(W) 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.
