1 Chronicles 26
New International Version
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.

Levitas porteros
26 Distribución de los porteros coreítas: Por los descendientes de Asaf: Meselemías, descendiente de Coré. 2 Descendientes de Meselemías: el primogénito Zacarías, segundo Jediael, tercero Zebadías, cuarto Jatniel, 3 quinto Elán, sexto Yojanán y séptimo Elioenay. 4 Descendientes de Obededón: el primogénito Semaías, segundo Jozabat, tercero Joaj, cuarto Sacar, quinto Natanael, 5 sexto Amiel, séptimo Isacar y octavo Peuletay, pues Dios había bendecido a Obededón. 6 Su hijo Semaías tuvo descendientes que sobresalieron en sus respectivas familias, pues eran gente valerosa. 7 Descendientes de Semaías: Otní, Rafael, Obed, Elzabad y sus parientes, gente valerosa, Elihú y Semaquías. 8 Todos estos eran los descendientes de Obededón y con sus hijos y parientes, valerosos y competentes en su oficio, sumaban sesenta y dos. 9 Los descendientes y parientes de Meselemías sumaban dieciocho personas valerosas. 10 Descendientes de Josá, de la familia de Merarí: primero Simrí, pues, aunque no era el primogénito, su padre lo puso de jefe; 11 segundo Jilquías, tercero Tebalías, y cuarto Zacarías. En total, los descendientes y parientes de Josá eran trece.
12 A estos grupos de porteros, tanto a los jefes como a sus parientes, se les encomendó el servicio del Templo del Señor. 13 Y se repartieron a suertes por familias, lo mismo pequeños que grandes, cada una de las puertas. 14 La puerta oriental le correspondió a Selemías; a su hijo Zacarías, prudente consejero, le correspondió la puerta del norte tras nuevo sorteo; 15 a Obededón le tocó la puerta del sur y a sus hijos los almacenes; 16 a Supín y a Josá, la occidental, junto con la puerta de Saléquet, en el camino de la cuesta.
Las guardias eran proporcionales: 17 en la puerta oriental había seis levitas al día; en la del norte, cuatro; en la del sur cuatro; y en los almacenes, dos y dos; 18 y en el pórtico occidental, cuatro para la calzada y dos para el pórtico. 19 Estos eran los grupos de porteros descendientes de Coré y de Merarí.
Guardianes del tesoro
20 Sus parientes levitas también se encargaban de los tesoros del Templo y de las ofrendas consagradas. 21 Los descendientes de Ladán, descendientes de Guersón por Ladán, incluían a los jielitas como cabezas de familia del guersonita Ladán. 22 Zetán y su hermano Joel, descendientes de Jiel, custodiaban los tesoros del Templo del Señor. 23 De las familias de Amrán: Jisar, Hebrón y Aziel. 24 El tesorero jefe era Sebuel, descendiente de Guersón, hijo de Moisés. 25 Descendientes de su hermano Eliezer en línea directa: Rejabías, Isaías, Zicrí y Selomit. 26 Este Solomit y sus parientes estaban al cargo de todas las ofrendas sagradas que habían consagrado el rey David, los cabezas de familia, los capitanes de millar y de cien y los jefes del ejército. 27 Pues habían consagrado parte del botín de guerra para el mantenimiento del Templo del Señor. 28 Y todo lo que habían consagrado el profeta Samuel, Saúl, el hijo de Quis, Abner, el hijo de Ner, y Joab, el hijo de Seruyá, todas las ofrendas estaban al cargo de Selomit y sus parientes.
Otros servicios levíticos
29 De los jesharitas, Quenanías y sus descendientes se encargaban de los asuntos externos de Israel como escribanos y jueces. 30 De los hebronitas, Jasabías y sus parientes, mil setecientos hombres valerosos, se encargaban del gobierno de Israel, al oeste de Transjordania, en todos los asuntos concernientes al Señor y al servicio del rey. 31 El jefe de los hebronitas era Jerías. El año cuarenta del reinado de David se hizo una investigación sobre el árbol genealógico de los hebronitas y se descubrió que de su clan quedaba gente de valía en Jaezer de Galaad. 32 Sus parientes eran gente de valía que sumaban dos mil setecientos cabezas de familia. El rey David los puso al frente de los rubenitas, de los gaditas y de la media tribu de Manasés para todos los asuntos religiosos y los negocios del rey.
