26 For the divisions of the gatekeepers: Of the Korahites was: Meshelemiah son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.

And Meshelemiah had sons: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,

Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Eliehoenai the seventh.

Obed-edom had sons: Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sacar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth,

Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peullethai the eighth; for God blessed him.

Also to Shemaiah his son were sons born, who were rulers in their fathers’ houses, for they were mighty men of ability and courage.

The sons of Shemaiah: Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad, whose brethren were strong and able men, Elihu and Semachiah.

All these were sons of Obed-edom [in whose house the ark was kept], with their sons and brethren, strong and able men for the service—sixty-two in all.(A)

Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong and able men—eighteen in all.

10 Also Hosah, of the sons of Merari, had sons: Shimri the chief (he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him chief),

11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth; all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen in all.

12 Of these were the divisions of the gatekeepers, even of the chief men, having duties, as did their brethren, to minister in the house of the Lord.

13 And they cast lots by fathers’ houses, small and great alike, for every gate.

14 The lot for the east fell to Shelemiah. They cast lots also for Zechariah his son, a wise counselor, and his lot came out for the north.

15 To Obed-edom it came out for the south, and to his sons the storehouse was allotted.

16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot fell for the west, by the refuse gate that goes into the ascending highway, post opposite post.

17 On the east were six Levites, on the north four a day, on the south four a day, and two by two at the storehouse.

18 At the [a]colonnade on the west side [of the outer court of the temple], there were four at the road and two at the colonnade.

19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers among the Korahites and the sons of Merari.

20 Of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries of the dedicated gifts.

21 The sons of Ladan, the descendants of Gershon through Ladan, the heads of families of Ladan the Gershonite: Jehieli,

22 The sons of Jehieli, Zetham and Joel his brother, who were over the treasuries of the house of the Lord.

23 Of the Amramites, Izharites, Hebronites, and Uzzielites:

24 Shebuel son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler over the treasuries.

25 His brethren from Eliezer were his son Rehabiah, his son Jeshaiah, his son Joram, his son Zichri, and his son Shelomoth.

26 This Shelomoth and his brethren were over all the treasuries of the dedicated gifts, which King David, the heads of the fathers’ houses, the officers over thousands and hundreds, and the commanders of the army had dedicated.

27 From spoil won in battles they dedicated gifts to maintain the house of the Lord.

28 Also all that Samuel the seer, Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah had dedicated, and whatever anyone had dedicated, it was in the charge of Shelomoth and his brethren.

29 Of the Izharites: Chenaniah and his sons were appointed to outside duties for Israel, as officers and judges.

30 Of the Hebronites: Hashabiah and his brethren, men of courage and ability, 1,700 in all, were officers over Israel on the west side of the Jordan in all the Lord’s business and the king’s service.

31 Of the Hebronites: Jerijah was the chief, according to their generations by fathers’ houses. In the fortieth year of David’s reign a search was made, and men of great courage and ability were found among them at Jazer in Gilead.

32 Jerijah’s kinsmen, men of courage and ability, were 2,700 heads of fathers’ houses; King David made them overseers of the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, for everything pertaining to God and for the affairs of the king.

Organización de los porteros

26 La organización de los porteros fue la siguiente:

De los coreítas: Meselemías hijo de Coré, descendiente de Asaf.

Los hijos de Meselemías fueron:

Zacarías, el primero;

Jediael, el segundo;

Zebadías, el tercero;

Jatniel, el cuarto;

Elam, el quinto;

Johanán, el sexto,

y Elihoenay, el séptimo.

Los hijos de Obed Edom fueron:

Semaías, el primero;

Jozabad, el segundo;

Joa, el tercero;

Sacar, el cuarto;

Natanael, el quinto;

Amiel, el sexto;

Isacar, el séptimo,

y el octavo, Peultay.

Dios bendijo a Obed Edom con muchos hijos.

Semaías hijo de Obed Edom también tuvo hijos, los cuales fueron jefes de sus familias patriarcales, pues eran hombres muy valientes. Los hijos de Semaías fueron Otni, Rafael, Obed, Elzabad, y sus hermanos Eliú y Samaquías, todos ellos hombres valientes. Todos estos eran descendientes de Obed Edom. Tanto ellos como sus hijos y hermanos eran hombres muy valientes y fuertes para el trabajo. En total, los descendientes de Obed Edom fueron sesenta y dos.

Los hijos y hermanos de Meselemías fueron dieciocho, todos ellos hombres muy valientes.

10 Los hijos de Josá, descendiente de Merari, fueron Simri, el jefe (que en verdad no había sido el primero, pero su padre lo puso por jefe); 11 el segundo fue Jilquías; el tercero, Tebalías; y el cuarto, Zacarías. En total, los hijos y hermanos de Josá fueron trece.

12 Así fue como se organizó a los porteros, tanto a los jefes como a sus hermanos, para que sirvieran en el templo del Señor. 13 El cuidado de cada puerta se asignó echando suertes entre las familias, sin hacer distinción entre menores y mayores.

14 Según el sorteo, a Selemías se le asignó la puerta del este, y a su hijo Zacarías, sabio consejero, la puerta del norte. 15 A Obed Edom le correspondió la puerta del sur, y a sus hijos les correspondió el cuidado de los depósitos del templo. 16 A Supín y a Josá les correspondió la puerta de Saléquet, que está al oeste, en el camino de la subida.

Los turnos se distribuyeron así: 17 Cada día había seis levitas en el este, cuatro en el norte y cuatro en el sur, y dos en cada uno de los depósitos. 18 En el patio del oeste había cuatro levitas para la calzada y dos para el patio mismo.

19 Así fue como quedaron distribuidos los porteros descendientes de Coré y de Merari.

Los tesoreros y otros oficiales

20 A los otros levitas se les puso al cuidado de los tesoros del templo y de los depósitos de los objetos sagrados. 21 Los descendientes de Guersón por parte de Ladán tenían a los jehielitas como jefes de las familias de Ladán el guersonita. 22 Zetán y su hermano Joel, hijos de Jehiel, quedaron a cargo de los tesoros del templo del Señor.

23-24 Sebuel, que era descendiente de Guersón hijo de Moisés, era el tesorero mayor de los amiranitas, izaritas, hebronitas y uzielitas.

25 Sus descendientes en línea directa por parte de Eliezer eran Rejabías, Isaías, Jorán, Zicrí y Selomit. 26 Selomit y sus hermanos tenían a su cargo los depósitos de todos los objetos sagrados que habían sido obsequiados por el rey David y por los jefes de familia, así como por los comandantes de mil y de cien soldados y por los demás oficiales del ejército. 27 Ellos habían dedicado parte del botín de guerra para las reparaciones del templo del Señor. 28 Selomit y sus hermanos tenían bajo su cuidado todo lo que había sido obsequiado por el vidente Samuel, por Saúl hijo de Quis, y por Abner hijo de Ner y Joab hijo de Sarvia.

29 Quenanías y sus hijos, que eran descendientes de Izar, estaban a cargo de los asuntos exteriores de Israel, y ejercían las funciones de oficiales y jueces.

30 Jasabías y sus parientes, que descendían de Hebrón, eran mil setecientos hombres valientes. Ellos eran los que al sudoeste del Jordán administraban a Israel en todo lo referente al Señor y al rey. 31 El jefe de los hebronitas era Jerías. En el año cuarenta del reinado de David se investigó el registro genealógico de los descendientes de Hebrón, y se encontró que en Jazer de Galaad había entre ellos hombres valientes. 32 El número de los jefes de familia de estos valientes era de dos mil setecientos. El rey David les asignó la administración de las tribus de Rubén y Gad y de la media tribu de Manasés, en todos los asuntos relacionados con Dios y con el rey.

26 Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites was Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.

And the sons of Meshelemiah were, Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,

Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh.

Moreover the sons of Obededom were, Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth.

Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth: for God blessed him.

Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they were mighty men of valour.

The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah.

All these of the sons of Obededom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were threescore and two of Obededom.

And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen.

10 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;)

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 porters, even among the chief men, having wards one against another, to minister in the house of the Lord.

13 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.

14 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.

15 To Obededom southward; and to his sons the house of Asuppim.

16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward against ward.

17 Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and toward Asuppim two and two.

18 At Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar.

19 These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore, and among the sons of Merari.

20 And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of the house of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things.

21 As concerning the sons of Laadan; the sons of the Gershonite Laadan, chief fathers, even of Laadan the Gershonite, were Jehieli.

22 The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother, which were over the treasures of the house of the Lord.

23 Of the Amramites, and the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites:

24 And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of the treasures.

25 And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son.

26 Which Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the host, had dedicated.

27 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the Lord.

28 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated; and whosoever had dedicated any thing, it was under the hand of Shelomith, and of his brethren.

29 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward business over Israel, for officers and judges.

30 And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, men of valour, a thousand and seven hundred, were officers among them of Israel on this side Jordan westward in all the business of the Lord, and in the service of the king.

31 Among the Hebronites was Jerijah the chief, even among the Hebronites, according to the generations of his fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought for, and there were found among them mighty men of valour at Jazer of Gilead.

32 And his brethren, men of valour, were two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king.
