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.

Разпределение на стражите при портите
26 (A)Ето разпределението на стражите при портите: от Кореевите синове – Мешелемия, потомък на Корей от Асафовите синове. 2 Мешелемиевите синове: първороден – Захария, втори – Йедиаил, трети – Зевадия, четвърти – Ятниил, 3 пети – Елам, шести – Йехоханан, седми – Елиехоенай. 4 (B)Овед-Едомовите синове: първороден – Шемая, втори – Йехозавад, трети – Йоах, четвърти – Сахар, пети – Натанаил, 5 (C)шести – Амиил, седми – Исахар, осми – Пеултай, защото Бог го беше благословил. 6 А на сина му Шемая също се родиха синове. Те бяха водачи в рода си, защото бяха храбри мъже. 7 Шемайевите синове: Отни, Рефаил, Овед, Елзавад и неговите братя Елия и Семахия. Те бяха храбри мъже. 8 Всички те – потомци на Овед-Едом заедно със синовете си и братята си бяха храбри мъже, способни да служат. Общо от Овед-Едом бяха шестдесет и двама души. 9 Мешелемий имаше осемнадесет синове и братя, храбри мъже. 10 Синовете на Хоса, от Мерариевите потомци: първи – Шимри; макар и да не беше първороден, баща му го определи за пръв; 11 втори – Хелкия, трети – Тевалия, четвърти – Захария; всички синове и братя на Хоса бяха тринадесет души.
12 Това беше разпределението на стражите при портите; те бяха водачи на родове, способни да служат, заедно с братята си, в дома на Господа. 13 И за всяка от портите хвърлиха жребий, равноправен за малки и големи според родовете им. 14 Жребият за източната порта се падна на Шелемия, а хвърленият жребий определи северната порта за сина му Захария, мъдър съветник. 15 На Овед-Едом се падна южната порта, а на синовете му – дарохранителницата. 16 Западната, както и Шелехетската порта, които се намират на мястото, където пътят тръгва нагоре, се паднаха на Шупим и Хоса – стража срещу стража. 17 Дневно стояха на изток по шестима левити, на север – по четирима, на юг – по четирима, а при дарохранителницата – по двама; 18 на запад, по пътя, който върви нагоре към притвора, имаше по четирима, а при самия притвор – по двама. 19 Това беше разпределението между Кореевите потомци и Мерариевите потомци за местата на стражите при портите.
Разпределение на надзирателите на съкровищниците
20 Техните братя левити се грижеха за съкровищниците на Божия дом и хранилището на посветените вещи. 21 Потомци на Лаедан от племето на Герсон и водачи на родове бяха Йехиел 22 и синовете на Йехиел: Зетам и брат му Йоил. Те се грижеха за съкровищата на Господния дом 23 заедно с потомците на Амрам, Ицхар, Хеврон и Озиил.
24 Шевуил, син на Гирсон, Мойсеевия син, беше главен надзорник на съкровищата. 25 Брат му Елиезер имаше син Рехавия, а той – син Исая, той – син Йорам, той – син Зихрий, той – син Шеломит. 26 (D)Шеломит и братята му охраняваха всички хранилища за посветените вещи – от цар Давид, от водачите, от хилядниците, от стотниците и военачалниците. 27 Те ги бяха посветили за поддържането на Господния дом, а вещите бяха от завоювана плячка. 28 Освен всичко това другото, посветено от пророк Самуил, Саул, Кисовия син, Авенир, Нировия син, и Йоав, Саруевия син, беше под надзора на Шеломит и братята му.
Разпределение на управителите
29 (E)От Ицхаровия род: Хенания и синовете му бяха определени да служат като министри и съдии по външните дела на Израил. 30 (F)От Хевроновия род: Хашавия и братята му, които бяха хиляда и седемстотин храбри мъже, бяха определени за надзорници над частта от Израил, която е западно от Йордан. Тук те се грижеха за служението пред Господа и делата, засягащи царската власт. 31 Водач от Хевроновия род беше Йерия. В четиридесетата година от царуването на Давид този род беше преброен по родословието си и в него имаше силни и храбри мъже, които живееха в Язер при Галаад. 32 Неговите братя – боеспособни мъже, на брой две хиляди и седемстотин души, бяха водачи на родовите клони. Цар Давид ги постави над Рувимовото племе, над Гадовото племе и над половината от Манасиевото племе, за да се грижат за служението пред Господа и делата, засягащи царската власт.

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.
