聖殿的守衛
26 以下是殿門守衛的班次：
可拉族亞薩的後代有可利的兒子米施利米雅。 2 米施利米雅的長子是撒迦利亞，次子是耶疊，三子是西巴第雅，四子是耶提聶， 3 五子是以攔，六子是約哈難，七子是以利約乃。 4 俄別·以東的長子是示瑪雅，次子是約薩拔，三子是約亞，四子是沙甲，五子是拿坦業， 5 六子是亞米利，七子是以薩迦，八子是毗烏利太。上帝特別賜福俄別·以東。 6 他兒子示瑪雅有幾個兒子都很能幹，在各自的家族中做首領。 7 他們是俄得尼、利法益、俄備得、以利薩巴。他們的親族以利戶和西瑪迦也很能幹。 8 這些都是俄別·以東的子孫，他們和他們的兒子及親族共有六十二人，都是能幹稱職的人。 9 米施利米雅的兒子及親族共十八人，都很能幹。 10 米拉利的後代何薩的長子是申利，他本來不是長子，是被他父親立為長子的。 11 次子是希勒迦，三子是底巴利雅，四子是撒迦利亞。何薩的兒子及親族共十三人。
12 這些按族長分成小組的殿門守衛在耶和華的殿裡按班次供職，與他們的親族一樣。 13 他們無論大小，都按照族系抽籤，以決定看守哪個門。 14 示利米雅抽中東門，他兒子撒迦利亞是個精明的謀士，抽中北門。 15 俄別·以東抽中南門，他兒子抽中庫房。 16 書聘和何薩抽中西門和上行之路的沙利基門，兩班相對而立。 17 每天有六個利未人守東門，四人守北門，四人守南門，守庫房的二人一組。 18 守衛西面街道的有四人，守衛走廊的有二人。 19 以上是可拉的子孫和米拉利的子孫守門的班次。
聖殿裡的其他職務
20 利未人亞希雅負責掌管上帝殿裡的庫房和放奉獻之物的庫房。 21 革順族拉但的子孫中做族長的有耶希伊利。 22 耶希伊利的兩個兒子西坦和約珥負責管理耶和華殿裡的庫房。 23 暗蘭族、以斯哈族、希伯崙族、烏歇族也各有其職。 24 摩西的孫子——革舜的兒子細布業是庫房的主管。 25 細布業的親族有以利以謝，以利以謝的兒子是利哈比雅，利哈比雅的兒子是耶篩亞，耶篩亞的兒子是約蘭，約蘭的兒子是細基利，細基利的兒子是示羅密。 26 示羅密及其親族負責管理庫房中的奉獻之物，這些物品是大衛王、眾族長、千夫長、百夫長和將領獻給上帝的聖物。 27 他們把戰爭中擄掠的財物獻出來，以備建造耶和華的殿。 28 撒母耳先見、基士的兒子掃羅、尼珥的兒子押尼珥、洗魯雅的兒子約押及其他人奉獻的聖物都由示羅密及其親族管理。
29 以斯哈族的基拿尼雅及其眾子做官長和士師，為以色列管理聖殿以外的事務。 30 希伯崙族的哈沙比雅及其親族一千七百人都很能幹，他們在以色列的約旦河以西辦理耶和華和王的事務。 31 按家譜記載，希伯崙宗族的族長是耶利雅。大衛執政第四十年，經過調查，在基列的雅謝從希伯崙族中找到一些能幹的人。 32 耶利雅的親族有兩千七百人，都是能幹的族長。大衛王派他們在呂便支派、迦得支派和瑪拿西半個支派中辦理一切有關上帝和王的事務。

26 The divisions of the gatekeepers:
Of the Korchim: Meshelemyahu the son of Kore, of the descendants of Asaf. 2 Meshelemyahu had sons: Z’kharyahu the firstborn, Y’dia‘el the second, Z’vadyahu the third, Yatni’el the fourth, 3 ‘Eilam the fifth, Y’hochanan the sixth and Ely’ho‘einai the seventh.
4 ‘Oved-Edom had sons: Sh’ma‘yah the firstborn, Y’hozavad the second son,
Yo’ach the third, Sakhar the fourth, N’tan’el the fifth, 5 ‘Ammi’el the sixth, Yissakhar the seventh, and Pe‘ultai the eighth; for God blessed him. 6 To his son Sh’ma‘yah were born sons who ruled over their father’s clan, because they were strong, brave men. 7 The sons of Sh’ma‘yah: ‘Otni, Refa’el and his brothers ‘Oved and Elzavad, valiant men; also Elihu and S’makhyahu. 8 These were all from the sons of ‘Oved-Edom, they and their sons and brothers, men of ability and strength for service, sixty-two from ‘Oved-Edom.
9 Meshelemyahu had sons and brothers, valiant men, eighteen. 10 Hosah, from the descendants of M’rari, had sons: Shimri the chief, for although he was not the firstborn, nevertheless his father made him the chief; 11 Hilkiyahu the second, T’valyahu the third and Z’kharyahu the fourth; all the sons and brothers of Hosah were thirteen.
12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, under their chief men, had duties, just as their kinsmen did, serving in the house of Adonai. 13 Great or small, they cast lots according to their clans for every gate. 14 The lot for the east gate fell to Shelemyahu. Then they cast lots for his son Z’kharyahu, a sensible adviser, and he was allotted the north gate. 15 ‘Oved-Edom was allotted the south gate and his sons the storehouse. 16 Shupim and Hosah were allotted the west gate and the Shallekhet Gate at the highway that goes up, with corresponding guards. 17 For the east there were six L’vi’im, for the north four a day, for the south four a day, for the Storehouse two and two, 18 while for the courtyard to the west there were four at the highway and two at the courtyard itself. 19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers, consisting of descendants of the Korchim and descendants of M’rari.
20 Of the L’vi’im, Achiyah was responsible for the stores in the house of God and the stores of holy articles. 21 The sons of La‘dan, the descendants of the Gershuni belonging to La‘dan, the heads of clans belonging to La‘dan the Gershuni: Yechi’eli; 22 and the sons of Yechi’eli: Zetam and Yo’el his brother, over the stores in the house of Adonai. 23 Of the ‘Amrami, of the Yitz’hari, of the Hevroni, of the ‘Uzi’eli, 24 Sh’vu’el the descendant of Gershom, the son of Moshe, was in charge of the stores.
25 His kinsmen: from Eli‘ezer: Rechavyahu his son, Yesha‘yahu his son, Yoram his son, Zikhri his son and Shlomit his son. 26 This Shlomit and his kinsmen were in charge of all the stores of the dedicated things that David the king, the clan heads, the captains over thousands and hundreds and the commanders of the army had dedicated. 27 From the spoil won in wars they had dedicated these things to repair the house of Adonai. 28 Also included was all that Sh’mu’el the seer, Sha’ul the son of Kish, Avner the son of Ner and Yo’av the son of Tz’ruyah had dedicated. In short, if anyone had dedicated anything, Shlomit and his brothers were in charge of it.
29 Of the Yitz’hari: K’nanyahu and his sons were assigned to be over Isra’el in regard to outside business as officers and judges. 30 Of the Hevroni: Hashavyah and his kinsmen, 1,700 valiant men, had the oversight of Isra’el west of the Yarden in regard to all the business of Adonai and the service of the king. 31 Yeriyah was chief of the Hevroni according to their generations by clans. In the fortieth year of David’s reign the Hevroni were sought out, and there were found among them strong, brave men at Ya‘zer in Gil‘ad. 32 King David appointed 2,700 of his kinsmen, valiant men and clan leaders, as overseers over the Re’uveni, the Gadi and the half-tribe of the M’nashi for every matter pertaining to God and for the affairs of the king.

Chapter 26
Divisions of Gatekeepers. 1 (A)As for the divisions of gatekeepers: Of the Korahites was Meshelemiah, the son of Kore, one of the sons of Abiasaph. 2 Meshelemiah’s sons: Zechariah, the firstborn, Jediael, the second son, Zebadiah, the third, Jathniel, the fourth, 3 Elam, the fifth, Jehohanan, the sixth, Eliehoenai, the seventh. 4 Obed-edom’s sons: Shemaiah, the firstborn, Jehozabad, a second son, Joah, the third, Sachar, the fourth, Nethanel, the fifth, 5 Ammiel, the sixth, Issachar, the seventh, Peullethai, the eighth, for God blessed him. 6 To his son Shemaiah were born sons who ruled over their family, for they were warriors. 7 The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad; also his kinsmen who were men of substance, Elihu and Semachiah. 8 All these were the sons of Obed-edom, who, together with their sons and their kinsmen, were men of substance, fit for the service. Of Obed-edom, sixty-two. 9 Of Meshelemiah, eighteen sons and kinsmen, men of substance.
10 Hosah, a descendant of Merari, had these sons: Shimri, the chief (for though he was not the firstborn, his father made him chief),(B) 11 Hilkiah, the second son, Tebaliah, the third, Zechariah, the fourth. All the sons and kinsmen of Hosah were thirteen.
12 To these divisions of the gatekeepers, by their chief men, were assigned watches for them to minister in the house of the Lord, for each group in the same way. 13 They cast lots for each gate, small and large families alike. 14 When the lot was cast for the east side, it fell to Meshelemiah. Then they cast lots for his son Zechariah, a prudent counselor, and the north side fell to his lot.(C) 15 To Obed-edom fell the south side, and to his sons the storehouse. 16 To Hosah fell the west side with the Shallecheth gate at the ascending highway. For each family, watches were established. 17 On the east, six watched each day, on the north, four each day, on the south, four each day, and at the storehouse they were two and two; 18 as for the large building[a] on the west, there were four at the highway and two at the large building. 19 These were the classes of the gatekeepers, sons of Korah and Merari.
Treasurers. 20 Their brother Levites had oversight of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries of votive offerings.(D) 21 Among the sons of Ladan the Gershonite, the family heads were sons of Jehiel:(E) 22 (F)the sons of Jehiel, Zetham and his brother Joel, who oversaw the treasures of the house of the Lord. 23 Of the Amramites, Izharites, Hebronites, and Uzzielites, 24 Shubael, son of Gershom, son of Moses, was principal overseer of the treasures. 25 (G)His associate was of the line of Eliezer, whose son was Rehabiah, whose son was Jeshaiah, whose son was Joram, whose son was Zichri, whose son was Shelomith. 26 This Shelomith and his kinsmen oversaw all the treasures of the votive offerings dedicated by King David, the heads of the families, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the commanders of the army;(H) 27 what came from wars and from spoils, they dedicated for the support of the house of the Lord. 28 Also, whatever Samuel the seer, Saul, son of Kish, Abner, son of Ner, Joab, son of Zeruiah, and all others had consecrated, was under the charge of Shelomith and his kinsmen.
Magistrates. 29 Among the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were in charge of Israel’s civil affairs[b] as officials and judges.(I) 30 Among the Hebronites, Hashabiah(J) and his kinsmen, one thousand seven hundred men of substance, had the administration of Israel on the western side of the Jordan for all the work of the Lord and the service of the king. 31 Among the Hebronites, Jerijah was their chief according to their family records. In the fortieth year of David’s reign search was made, and there were found among them warriors at Jazer of Gilead.(K) 32 His kinsmen were also men of substance, two thousand seven hundred heads of families. King David appointed them to the administration of the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh for everything pertaining to God and to the king.
