The Gatekeepers

26 Concerning the divisions of the gatekeepers: of the Korahites, [a]Meshelemiah the son of (A)Kore, of the sons of [b]Asaph. 2 And the sons of Meshelemiah were (B)Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth, 3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Eliehoenai the seventh.

4 Moreover the sons of (C)Obed-Edom were Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sacar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth, 5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth; for God blessed him.

6 Also to Shemaiah his son were sons born who governed their fathers’ houses, because they were men of great ability. 7 The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad, whose brothers Elihu and Semachiah were able men.

8 All these were of the sons of Obed-Edom, they and their sons and their brethren, (D)able men with strength for the work: sixty-two of Obed-Edom.

9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, eighteen able men.

10 Also (E)Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons: Shimri the first (for though he was not the firstborn, his father made him the first), 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 gatekeepers, among the chief men, having duties just like their brethren, to serve in the house of the Lord. 13 And they (F)cast lots for each gate, the small as well as the great, according to their father’s house. 14 The lot for the East Gate fell to [c]Shelemiah. Then they cast lots for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and his lot came out for the North Gate; 15 to Obed-Edom the South Gate, and to his sons the [d]storehouse. 16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came out for the West Gate, with the Shallecheth Gate on the (G)ascending highway—watchman opposite watchman. 17 On the east were six Levites, on the north four each day, on the south four each day, and for the [e]storehouse two by two. 18 As for the [f]Parbar on the west, there were four on the highway and two at the Parbar. 19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers among the sons of Korah and among the sons of Merari.

The Treasuries and Other Duties

20 Of the Levites, Ahijah was (H)over the treasuries of the house of God and over the treasuries of the (I)dedicated[g] things. 21 The sons of [h]Laadan, the descendants of the Gershonites of Laadan, heads of their fathers’ houses, of Laadan the Gershonite: [i]Jehieli. 22 The sons of Jehieli, Zetham and Joel his brother, were over the treasuries of the house of the Lord. 23 Of the (J)Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites: 24 (K)Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was overseer of the treasuries. 25 And his brethren by Eliezer were Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zichri his son, and (L)Shelomith his son.

26 This Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasuries of the dedicated things (M)which King David and the heads of fathers’ houses, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the army, had dedicated. 27 Some of the [j]spoils won in battles they dedicated to maintain the house of the Lord. 28 And all that Samuel (N)the seer, Saul the son of Kish, Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah had dedicated, every dedicated thing, was under the hand of Shelomith and his brethren.

29 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons (O)performed duties as (P)officials and judges over Israel outside Jerusalem.

30 Of the Hebronites, (Q)Hashabiah and his brethren, one thousand seven hundred able men, had the oversight of Israel on the west side of the Jordan for all the business of the Lord, and in the service of the king. 31 Among the Hebronites, (R)Jerijah was head of the Hebronites according to his genealogy of the fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought, and there were found among them capable men (S)at Jazer of Gilead. 32 And his brethren were two thousand seven hundred able men, heads of fathers’ houses, whom King David made officials over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God and the (T)affairs of the king.

Funções dos porteiros

26 Quanto às divisões dos porteiros, dos coraítas foi Meselemias, filho de Coré, dos filhos de Asafe. 2 E foram os filhos de Meselemias: Zacarias, o primogênito, Jediael, o segundo, Zebadias, o terceiro, Jatniel, o quarto, 3 Elão, o quinto, Joanã, o sexto, Elioenai, o sétimo. 4 E os filhos de Obede-Edom foram: Semaías, o primogênito, Jeozabade, o segundo, Joá, o terceiro, Sacar, o quarto, Natanael, o quinto, 5 Amiel, o sexto, Issacar, o sétimo, Peuletai, o oitavo; porque Deus o tinha abençoado. 6 Também a seu filho Semaías nasceram filhos, que dominaram sobre a casa de seu pai; porque foram varões valentes. 7 Os filhos de Semaías: Otni, e Rafael, e Obede, e Elzabade, com seus irmãos, homens valentes, Eliú e Semaquias. 8 Todos esses foram dos filhos de Obede-Edom; eles, e seus filhos, e seus irmãos, homens valentes de força para o ministério, por todos, sessenta e dois. 9 E os filhos e os irmãos de Meselemias, homens valentes, foram dezoito. 10 E de Hosa, dentre os filhos de Merari, foram seus filhos: Sinri, o chefe (ainda que não era o primogênito, contudo seu pai o constituiu chefe), 11 Hilquias, o segundo, Tebalias, o terceiro, Zacarias, o quarto; todos os filhos e irmãos de Hosa foram treze.

12 Destes se fizeram as turmas dos porteiros, entre os chefes dos homens da guarda, igualmente com os seus irmãos, para ministrarem na Casa do Senhor. 13 E lançaram sortes, assim os pequenos como os grandes, segundo as casas de seus pais, para cada porta. 14 E caiu a sorte do oriente a Selemias; e lançou-se a sorte por seu filho Zacarias, conselheiro prudente, e saiu-lhe a sorte do norte. 15 E a Obede-Edom, a do sul; e a seus filhos, a casa das tesourarias. 16 A Supim e Hosa, a do ocidente, com a porta Salequete, junto ao caminho da subida; uma guarda defronte de outra guarda. 17 Ao oriente estavam seis levitas; ao norte, quatro por dia; ao sul, quatro por dia; porém às tesourarias, de dois em dois. 18 Em Parbar, ao ocidente, quatro junto ao caminho, dois junto a Parbar. 19 Estas são as turmas dos porteiros dentre os filhos dos coraítas e dentre os filhos de Merari.

Os guardas dos tesouros

20 E, quanto aos levitas, Aías tinha cargo dos tesouros da Casa de Deus e dos tesouros das coisas sagradas. 21 Quanto aos filhos de Ladã, gersonita, foi chefe dos pais Jeieli, 22 dos filhos de Jeieli: Zetã e Joel, seu irmão; estes tinham cargo dos tesouros da Casa do Senhor; 23 dos anramitas, dos izaritas, dos hebronitas, dos ozielitas, 24 Sebuel, filho de Gérson, o filho de Moisés, era maioral dos tesouros; 25 e seus irmãos foram, da banda de Eliézer, Reabias, seu filho, e Isaías, seu filho, e Jorão, seu filho, e Zicri, seu filho, e Selomite, seu filho. 26 Este Selomite e seus irmãos tinham cargo de todos os tesouros das coisas sagradas que o rei Davi, e os chefes dos pais, capitães de milhares, e de centenas, e capitães do exército tinham consagrado; 27 dos despojos das guerras as consagraram, para repararem a Casa do Senhor, 28 como também tudo quanto tinha consagrado Samuel, o vidente, e Saul, filho de Quis, e Abner, filho de Ner, e Joabe, filho de Zeruia; tudo quanto qualquer tinha consagrado estava debaixo da mão de Selomite e seus irmãos.

Os oficiais e os juízes

29 Dos izaritas, Quenanias e seus filhos foram postos sobre Israel para a obra de fora, por oficiais e por juízes; 30 dos hebronitas, foram Hasabias e seus irmãos, homens valentes, mil e setecentos, que tinham cargo dos ofícios em Israel, daquém do Jordão para o ocidente, em toda obra do Senhor e para o serviço do rei; 31 dos hebronitas, era Jerias o chefe dos hebronitas, de suas gerações entre os pais; no ano quarenta do reino de Davi, se buscaram e acharam entre eles varões valentes em Jazer de Gileade. 32 E seus irmãos, homens valentes, dois mil e setecentos, chefes dos pais; e o rei Davi os constituiu sobre os rubenitas, e os gaditas, e a meia tribo dos manassitas, para todos os negócios de Deus e para todos os negócios do rei.

Divisions of Gatekeepers

26 The divisions of the gatekeepers:

From the Korahites: Meshelemiah, son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph.

2 Meshelemiah’s sons:

The firstborn Zechariah, the second Jediael, the third Zebadiah, the fourth Jathniel, 3 the fifth Elam, the sixth Jehohanan, and the seventh Elihoenai.

4 Obed-Edom’s sons:

The firstborn Shemaiah, the second Jehozabad, the third Joah, the fourth Sakar, the fifth Nethanel, 5 the sixth Ammiel, the seventh Issachar, and the eighth Peullethai. (Indeed, God blessed Obed-Edom.[a])

6 His son Shemaiah also had sons, who were leaders of their families, for they were highly respected. 7 The sons of Shemaiah:

Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad. His relatives[b] Elihu and Semakiah were also respected.

8 All these were the descendants of Obed-Edom. They and their sons and relatives were respected men, capable of doing their responsibilities. There were sixty-two of them related to Obed-Edom.

9 Meshelemiah had sons and relatives who were respected—eighteen in all.

10 Hosah, one of the descendants of Merari, had sons:

The firstborn Shimri (he was not actually the firstborn, but his father gave him that status), 11 the second Hilkiah, the third Tebaliah, and the fourth Zechariah. All Hosah’s sons and relatives numbered thirteen.

12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, corresponding to their leaders, had assigned responsibilities, like their relatives, as they served in the Lord’s temple.

13 They cast lots, both young and old, according to their families, to determine which gate they would be responsible for.[c] 14 The lot for the east gate went to Shelemiah.[d] They then cast lots for his son Zechariah, a wise adviser, and the lot for the north gate went to him. 15 Obed-Edom was assigned the south gate, and his sons were assigned the storehouses. 16 Shuppim and Hosah were assigned the west gate, along with the Shalleketh gate on the upper road. One guard was adjacent to another.[e] 17 Each day there were six Levites posted on the east, four on the north, and four on the south. At the storehouses they were posted in pairs. 18 At the court on the west there were four posted on the road and two at the court. 19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers who were descendants of Korah and Merari.

Supervisors of the Storehouses

20 Their fellow Levites were[f] in charge of the storehouses[g] in God’s temple and the storehouses containing consecrated items. 21 The descendants of Ladan,[h] who were descended from Gershon through Ladan and were leaders of the families of Ladan the Gershonite, included Jehieli[i] 22 and the sons of Jehieli, Zetham and his brother Joel. They were in charge of the storehouses in the Lord’s temple.

23 As for the Amramites, Izharites, Hebronites, and Uzzielites:

24 Shebuel[j] son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was the supervisor of the storehouses. 25 His relatives through Eliezer included: Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zikri his son, and Shelomith[k] his son. 26 Shelomith[l] and his relatives were in charge of all the storehouses containing the consecrated items dedicated by King David, the family leaders who led units of a thousand and a hundred, and the army officers. 27 They had dedicated some of the plunder taken in battles to be used for repairs on the Lord’s temple. 28 They were also in charge of everything dedicated by Samuel the prophet,[m] Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah; Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of everything that had been dedicated.

29 As for the Izharites: Kenaniah and his sons were given responsibilities outside the temple[n] as officers and judges over Israel.

30 As for the Hebronites: Hashabiah and his relatives, 1,700 respected men, were assigned responsibilities in Israel west of the Jordan; they did the Lord’s work and the king’s service.

31 As for the Hebronites: Jeriah was the leader of the Hebronites according to the genealogical records. In the fortieth year of David’s reign, they examined the records and discovered[o] there were highly respected men in Jazer in Gilead. 32 Jeriah had 2,700 relatives who were respected family leaders.[p] King David placed them in charge of the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh; they took care of all matters pertaining to God and the king.[q]
