1 Chronicles 26
International Standard Version
The Korahite Trustees
26 The guild[a] of trustees[b] included, from the descendants of Korah, Kore’s son Meshelemiah from Asaph’s descendants; 2 Meshelemiah’s sons Zechariah, his firstborn, Jediael his second, Zebadiah his third, Jathniel his fourth, 3 Elam his fifth, Jehohanan his sixth, and Eliehoenai his seventh; 4 Obed-edom’s sons Shemaiah, his firstborn, Jehozabad his second, Joah his third, Sachar his fourth, Nethanel his fifth, 5 Ammiel his sixth, Issachar his seventh, and Peullethai his eighth, since God had blessed him.
6 Furthermore, his son Shemaiah had sons born to him who wielded authority in their ancestral households, since they were mighty men of valor. 7 These sons of Shemaiah included[c] Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad, whose brothers were valiant, able men, Elihu and Semachiah. 8 All of these sons of Obed-edom, along with their sons and brothers, were valiant men, fully qualified for duty—62 descendants[d] of Obed-edom. 9 Meshelemiah had 18 sons and brothers who were valiant men. 10 Hosah, one of Merari’s sons, had these[e] sons: Shimri their chief (though not the firstborn, his father had appointed him chief), 11 Hilkiah his second, Tebaliah his third, and Zechariah his fourth, with a total of 13 sons and brothers of Hosah.
12 With respect to their leaders, these courses of trustees had responsibilities, along with their relatives, regarding ministry within the Temple of the Lord 13 assigned by lottery according to their ancestral households, whether large or small alike, for their gate assignments. 14 The lot for the eastern gate[f] fell to Shelemiah. They also cast lots for his son Zechariah, who was a wise counselor, and his lot indicated the northern gate.[g] 15 Obed-edom’s lot indicated the south gate,[h] and his sons were also allotted responsibility for the storehouse. 16 For Shuppim and Hosah the lot indicated the west at the gate of Shallecheth on the ascending road.
Each guard corresponding to each guard, 17 on the east six descendants of Levi were assigned[i] for each day, on the north four for each day, on the south four for each day (as well as two pairs of guards assigned[j] to the storehouse), 18 and for the colonnade on the west four were assigned at the road and two at the colonnade. 19 These were the ranks of trustees assigned among the descendants of Korah and the sons of Merari.
Oversight of the Treasuries
20 Now with respect to the descendants of Levi, Ahijah was responsible for the treasuries of the Temple of God, including the treasuries containing dedicated gifts. 21 With respect to the descendants of Ladan, the Gershonite descendants pertaining to Ladan, the heads of families pertaining to Ladan the Gershonite, there was Jehieli. 22 The descendants of Jehieli, Zetham and his brother Joel, were responsible for the treasuries of the Temple of the Lord.
23 From the descendants of Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel were assigned 24 Shebuel, a descendant of Gershom and a descendant of Moses (as chief officer[k] in charge of the treasuries) 25 and his brothers from Eliezer, including his son Rehabiah, his son Jeshaiah, his son Joram, his son Zichri, and his son Shelomoth.
26 Shelomoth and his brothers were responsible for all of the treasuries of dedicated gifts given by King David, by the heads of families, by the officers of groups of thousands and groups of hundreds, and by the leading army officers. 27 They dedicated gifts for the maintenance of the Temple of the Lord from spoils of war. 28 Furthermore, everything that Samuel the seer, Kish’s son Saul, Ner’s son Abner, and Zeruiah’s son Joab had dedicated—all of their dedicated gifts—were under the care of Shelomoth and his brothers.
29 From the descendants of Izhar, Chenaniah and his sons were assigned as officers and judges with responsibilities relating to external duties. 30 From the descendants of Hebron, Hashabiah and his relatives—1,700 outstanding men—were assigned oversight of Israel west of the Jordan regarding all of the Lord’s work and services on behalf of the king.
31 From the descendants of Hebron, Jerijah was assigned chief of the descendants of Hebron. During the fortieth year of David’s administration, a search was made by genealogical record, family by family, to find men of great ability, including those found at Jazer in Gilead. 32 King David appointed Jerijah,[l] his relatives, and 2,700 competent men who were each family heads, to oversee the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh regarding everything pertaining to God as well as matters relating to the king.

The Levitical Gatekeepers
26 The following were the divisions of the gatekeepers:
From the Korahites: Meshelemiah son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph.
2 Meshelemiah had sons:
Zechariah 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, Sachar the fourth,
Nethanel the fifth, 5 Ammiel the sixth,
Issachar the seventh, and Peullethai the eighth,
for God blessed him.
6 Also, to his son Shemaiah were born sons who ruled their ancestral families[a] because they were strong, capable men.
7 Shemaiah’s sons: Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad; his relatives Elihu and Semachiah were also capable men. 8 All of these were among the sons of Obed-edom with their sons and relatives; they were capable men with strength for the work – sixty-two from Obed-edom.
9 Meshelemiah also had sons and relatives who were capable men – eighteen.
10 Hosah,(A) from the Merarites, also had sons: Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father had appointed him as the first), 11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, and Zechariah the fourth. The sons and relatives of Hosah were thirteen in all.
12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, under their leading men, had duties for ministering in the Lord’s temple, just as their relatives did. 13 They cast lots for each temple gate according to their ancestral families, young and old alike.(B)
14 The lot for the east gate fell to Shelemiah.[b] They also cast lots for his son Zechariah, an insightful counsellor, and his lot came out for the north gate. 15 Obed-edom’s was the south gate, and his sons’ lot was for the storehouses; 16 it was the west gate and the gate of Shallecheth on the ascending road for Shuppim and Hosah.
There were guards stationed at every watch. 17 There were six Levites each day[c] on the east, four each day on the north, four each day on the south, and at the storehouses they were posted in pairs. 18 As for the court on the west, there were four at the road and two at the court. 19 Those were the divisions of the gatekeepers from the descendants of the Korahites and Merarites.
The Levitical Treasurers and Other Officials
20 From the Levites, Ahijah was in charge of the treasuries of God’s temple and the treasuries of what had been dedicated.(C) 21 From the sons of Ladan, who were the descendants of the Gershonites through Ladan and were the family heads belonging to Ladan the Gershonite: Jehieli. 22 The sons of Jehieli, Zetham and his brother Joel, were in charge of the treasuries of the Lord’s temple.
23 From the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites: 24 Shebuel, a descendant of Moses’s son Gershom, was the officer in charge of the treasuries. 25 His relatives through Eliezer: his son Rehabiah, his son Jeshaiah, his son Joram, his son Zichri, and his son Shelomith.[d] 26 This Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of all the treasuries of what had been dedicated by King David,(D) by the family heads who were the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and by the army commanders. 27 They dedicated part of the plunder from their battles for the repair of the Lord’s temple. 28 All that the seer Samuel, Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah had dedicated, along with everything else that had been dedicated, were in the care of Shelomith and his relatives.
29 From the Izrahites: Chenaniah and his sons had duties outside the temple[e](E) as officers and judges(F) over Israel. 30 From the Hebronites: Hashabiah(G) and his relatives, 1,700 capable men, had assigned duties in Israel west of the Jordan for all the work of the Lord and for the service of the king. 31 From the Hebronites: Jerijah(H) was the head of the Hebronites, according to the family records of his ancestors. A search was made in the fortieth year of David’s reign and strong, capable men were found among them at Jazer(I) in Gilead. 32 There were among Jerijah’s relatives 2,700 capable men who were family heads. King David appointed them over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh as overseers in every matter relating to God and the king.(J)

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang mga Guwardya ng Pintuan ng Templo
26 Ito ang mga grupo ng mga guwardya ng mga pintuan ng templo:
Mula sa pamilya ni Kora, si Meshelemia na anak ni Kore na miyembro ng pamilya ni Asaf, 2 at ang pito niyang anak na lalaki: si Zacarias ang panganay, at ang kasunod ay sina Jediael, Zebadia, Jatniel, 3 Elam, Jehohanan at Eliehoenai.
4 Kasama rin si Obed Edom at ang walo niyang anak na lalaki: si Shemaya ang panganay, at ang kasunod ay sina Jehozabad, Joa, Sacar, Netanel, 5 Amiel, Isacar at Peuletai. Pinagpala ng Dios si Obed Edom. 6-7 Ang panganay na anak ni Obed Edom na si Shemaya ay may mga anak na lalaki na may kakayahan at mga pinuno ng kanilang mga pamilya. Silaʼy sina Otni, Refael Obed at Elzabad. Ang kanilang kamag-anak na sina Elihu at Semakia ay may mga kakayahan din.
8 Lahat sila ay mula sa angkan ni Obed Edom. Sila at ang kanilang mga anak at kamag-anak ay 62 lahat. Mahuhusay sila at may kakayahan sa paggawa.
9 Ang 18 anak at mga kamag-anak ni Meshelemia ay may mga kakayahan din.
10 Si Hosa na mula sa pamilya ni Merari ay may mga anak din. Ginawa niyang pinuno ng kanilang pamilya si Shimri kahit hindi siya ang panganay na anak. 11 Ang sumunod kay Shimri ay sina Hilkia, Tabalia at Zacarias. 13 lahat ang anak at mga kamag-anak ni Hosa na mga tagapagbantay sa pintuan ng templo.
12 Iginrupo ang mga guwardya ng mga pintuan ng templo ayon sa pinuno ng kanilang pamilya, at may mga tungkulin sila sa paglilingkod sa templo ng Panginoon, katulad ng kasama nilang mga Levita. 13 Nagpalabunutan sila kung aling pinto ang babantayan ng mga pamilya nila, bata man o matanda. 14 Ang pintuan sa gawing silangan ang nabunot ni Shelemia,[a] at ang pintuan sa gawing hilaga ang nabunot ng anak niyang mahusay magpayo na si Zacarias 15 Ang pintuan sa gawing timog ang nabunot ni Obed Edom, at sa mga anak niyang lalaki ipinagkatiwala ang mga bodega. 16 Ang pintuan sa gawing kanluran at ang pintuan paakyat sa templo[b] ang nabunot ni Shupim at Hosa.
Bawat isa sa kanilaʼy may takdang oras ng pagbabantay: 17 Sa gawing silangan, anim na guwardya ang nagbabantay araw-araw, sa gawing hilaga ay apat, sa gawing timog ay apat din, at sa bawat bodega ay tig-dadalawa. 18 Sa gawing kanluran, apat ang nagbabantay, sa daanan paakyat sa templo ay apat din, at sa bakuran ng templo ay dalawa.
19 Iyon ang mga grupo ng mga guwardya ng mga pintuan ng templo na angkan nina Kora at Merari.
Ang mga Ingat-yaman at ang Iba pang mga Opisyal
20 Ang ibang mga Levita[c] na pinamumunuan ni Ahia ang katiwala sa mga bodega ng templo ng Dios, kabilang na ang mga bodega ng mga inihandog sa Dios.
21 Si Ladan ay mula sa angkan ni Gershon at ama ni Jehieli. Ang ilan sa mga miyembro ng kanyang pamilya ay mga pinuno rin ng kanyang mga angkan. 22 Ang mga anak ni Jehieli na sina Zetam at Joel ang katiwala ng mga bodega ng templo ng Panginoon.
23 Ito ang mga pinuno mula sa angkan ni Amram, Izar, Hebron at Uziel:
Mula sa angkan ni Amram: 24 si Shebuel,[d] na mula rin sa angkan ni Gershom, na anak ni Moises, ang punong opisyal sa mga bodega ng templo. 25 Ang mga kamag-anak niya sa angkan ni Eliezer ay sina Rehabia, Jeshaya, Joram, Zicri at Shelomit.[e] 26 Si Shelomit at ang kanyang mga kamag-anak ang katiwala sa mga bodega ng mga handog na inialay ni Haring David, ng mga pinuno ng mga pamilya, ng mga kumander ng libu-libo at ng daan-daang sundalo, at ng iba pang mga pinuno. 27 Inihandog nila ang ibang nasamsam nila sa labanan para gamitin sa templo ng Panginoon. 28 Si Shelomit din at ang kanyang mga kamag-anak ang nangalaga sa lahat ng mga inihandog ni Samuel na propeta, ni Saul na anak ni Kish, ni Abner na anak ni Ner, at ni Joab na anak ni Zeruya. Ang iba pang mga inihandog ay ipinamahala din nila.
29 Mula sa mga angkan ni Izar: si Kenania at ang mga anak niyang lalaki, na siyang nangangasiwa at mga hukom sa buong Israel. Hindi sila naglilingkod sa loob ng templo.
30 Mula sa angkan ni Hebron: si Hashabia at ang 1,700 kamag-anak niya na may mga kakayahan. Pinagkatiwalaan sila na mamahala ng mga lupain sa gawing kanluran ng Ilog ng Jordan. Sila ang nangangasiwa ng mga gawain ng Panginoon at ng hari sa lugar na iyon. 31 Si Jeria ang pinuno ng angkan ni Hebron ayon sa talaan ng kanilang mga pamilya. Nang ika-40 taon ng paghahari ni David, siniyasat ang mga talaan, at natuklasan na may angkan si Hebron sa Jazer na sakop ng Gilead, at may mga kakayahan sila. 32 Si Jeria ay may 2,700 kamag-anak na may mga kakayahan at mga pinuno ng mga pamilya. Sila ang pinamahala ni Haring David sa lahi ni Reuben, Gad at sa kalahating lahi ni Manase. Sila ang nangangasiwa sa lahat ng gawain ng Dios at ng hari sa mga lugar na iyon.
