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。

12 Among these were the divisions of the doorkeepers, among the head-men, as to the charges together with their brethren, for performing the service in the house of Jehovah.
13 And they cast lots, the small as well as the great, according to their fathers' houses, for every gate.
14 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah; and they cast lots for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, and his lot came out northward;
15 to Obed-Edom southward; and to his sons the storehouse.
16 To Shuppim and Hosah westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the ascent, watch against watch.

The Message
The Security Guards
26 1-11 The teams of security guards were from the family of Korah: Meshelemiah son of Kore (one of the sons of Asaph). Meshelemiah’s sons were Zechariah, the firstborn, followed by Jediael, Zebadiah, Jathniel, Elam, Jehohanan, and Eliehoenai—seven sons. Obed-Edom’s sons were Shemaiah, the firstborn, followed by Jehozabad, Joah, Sacar, Nethanel, Ammiel, Issachar, and Peullethai—God blessed him with eight sons. His son Shemaiah had sons who provided outstanding leadership in the family: Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad; his relatives Elihu and Semakiah were also exceptional. These all came from the line of Obed-Edom—all of them outstanding and strong. There were sixty-two of them. Meshelemiah had eighteen sons and relatives who were outstanding. The sons of Hosah the Merarite were Shimri (he was not the firstborn but his father made him first), then Hilkiah, followed by Tabaliah and Zechariah. Hosah accounted for thirteen.
12-16 These teams of security guards, supervised by their leaders, kept order in The Temple of God, keeping up the traditions of their ancestors. They were all assigned to their posts by the same method regardless of the prominence of their families—each picked his gate assignment from a hat. Shelemiah was assigned to the East Gate; his son Zechariah, a shrewd counselor, got the North Gate. Obed-Edom got the South Gate; and his sons pulled duty at the storehouse. Shuppim and Hosah were posted to the West Gate and the Shalleketh Gate on the high road.
16-18 The guards stood shoulder to shoulder: six Levites per day on the east, four per day on the north and on the south, and two at a time at the storehouse. At the open court to the west, four guards were posted on the road and two at the court.
19 These are the teams of security guards from the sons of Korah and Merari.
Financial Affairs: Accountants and Bookkeepers
20-22 Other Levites were put in charge of the financial affairs of The Temple of God. From the family of Ladan (all Gershonites) came Jehieli, and the sons of Jehieli, Zetham and his brother Joel. They supervised the finances of the sanctuary of God.
23-28 From the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites: Shubael, descended from Gershom the son of Moses, was the chief financial officer. His relatives through Eliezer: his son Rehabiah, his son Jeshaiah, his son Joram, his son Zicri, and his son Shelomith. Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of valuables consecrated by David the king, family heads, and various generals and commanders from the army. They dedicated the plunder that they had gotten in war to the work of the worship of God. In addition, everything that had been dedicated by Samuel the seer, Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah—anything that had been dedicated, ever, was the responsibility of Shelomith and his family.
29-30 From the family of the Izharites, Kenaniah and sons were appointed as officials and judges responsible for affairs outside the work of worship and sanctuary. From the family of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his relatives—1,700 well-qualified men—were responsible for administration of matters related to the worship of God and the king’s work in the territory west of the Jordan.
31-32 According to the family tree of the Hebronites, Jeriah held pride of place. In the fortieth year of David’s reign (his last), the Hebron family tree was researched and outstanding men were found at Jazer in Gilead, namely, Jeriah and 2,700 men of his extended family: David the king made them responsible for administration of matters related to the worship of God and the work of the king in the territory east of the Jordan—the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
