1 Chronicles 26
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 26
Divisions of Gatekeepers. 1 (A)As for the divisions of gatekeepers: Of the Korahites was Meshelemiah, the son of Kore, one of the sons of Abiasaph. 2 Meshelemiah’s sons: Zechariah, the firstborn, Jediael, the second son, Zebadiah, the third, Jathniel, the fourth, 3 Elam, the fifth, Jehohanan, the sixth, Eliehoenai, the seventh. 4 Obed-edom’s sons: Shemaiah, the firstborn, Jehozabad, a second son, Joah, the third, Sachar, the fourth, Nethanel, the fifth, 5 Ammiel, the sixth, Issachar, the seventh, Peullethai, the eighth, for God blessed him. 6 To his son Shemaiah were born sons who ruled over their family, for they were warriors. 7 The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad; also his kinsmen who were men of substance, Elihu and Semachiah. 8 All these were the sons of Obed-edom, who, together with their sons and their kinsmen, were men of substance, fit for the service. Of Obed-edom, sixty-two. 9 Of Meshelemiah, eighteen sons and kinsmen, men of substance.
10 Hosah, a descendant of Merari, had these sons: Shimri, the chief (for though he was not the firstborn, his father made him chief),(B) 11 Hilkiah, the second son, Tebaliah, the third, Zechariah, the fourth. All the sons and kinsmen of Hosah were thirteen.
12 To these divisions of the gatekeepers, by their chief men, were assigned watches for them to minister in the house of the Lord, for each group in the same way. 13 They cast lots for each gate, small and large families alike. 14 When the lot was cast for the east side, it fell to Meshelemiah. Then they cast lots for his son Zechariah, a prudent counselor, and the north side fell to his lot.(C) 15 To Obed-edom fell the south side, and to his sons the storehouse. 16 To Hosah fell the west side with the Shallecheth gate at the ascending highway. For each family, watches were established. 17 On the east, six watched each day, on the north, four each day, on the south, four each day, and at the storehouse they were two and two; 18 as for the large building[a] on the west, there were four at the highway and two at the large building. 19 These were the classes of the gatekeepers, sons of Korah and Merari.
Treasurers. 20 Their brother Levites had oversight of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries of votive offerings.(D) 21 Among the sons of Ladan the Gershonite, the family heads were sons of Jehiel:(E) 22 (F)the sons of Jehiel, Zetham and his brother Joel, who oversaw the treasures of the house of the Lord. 23 Of the Amramites, Izharites, Hebronites, and Uzzielites, 24 Shubael, son of Gershom, son of Moses, was principal overseer of the treasures. 25 (G)His associate was of the line of Eliezer, whose son was Rehabiah, whose son was Jeshaiah, whose son was Joram, whose son was Zichri, whose son was Shelomith. 26 This Shelomith and his kinsmen oversaw all the treasures of the votive offerings dedicated by King David, the heads of the families, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the commanders of the army;(H) 27 what came from wars and from spoils, they dedicated for the support of the house of the Lord. 28 Also, whatever Samuel the seer, Saul, son of Kish, Abner, son of Ner, Joab, son of Zeruiah, and all others had consecrated, was under the charge of Shelomith and his kinsmen.
Magistrates. 29 Among the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were in charge of Israel’s civil affairs[b] as officials and judges.(I) 30 Among the Hebronites, Hashabiah(J) and his kinsmen, one thousand seven hundred men of substance, had the administration of Israel on the western side of the Jordan for all the work of the Lord and the service of the king. 31 Among the Hebronites, Jerijah was their chief according to their family records. In the fortieth year of David’s reign search was made, and there were found among them warriors at Jazer of Gilead.(K) 32 His kinsmen were also men of substance, two thousand seven hundred heads of families. King David appointed them to the administration of the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh for everything pertaining to God and to the king.

Распределение привратников
26 Вот распределение привратников:
из корахитов: Мешелемия, сын Коре, один из сыновей Асафа.
2 У Мешелемии были сыновья:
первенец Захария,
второй сын – Иедиаил,
третий – Зевадия,
четвертый – Иафниил,
3 пятый – Елам,
шестой – Иоханан
и седьмой – Элиегоэнай.
4 У Овид-Эдома тоже были сыновья:
первенец Шемая,
второй сын – Иегозавад,
третий – Иоах,
четвертый – Сахар,
пятый – Нафанаил,
5 шестой – Аммиил,
седьмой – Иссахар
и восьмой – Пеульфай.
(Ведь Бог благословил Овид-Эдома).
6 У его сына Шемаи тоже родились сыновья, которые были вождями своего клана, потому что были очень способными людьми. 7 Сыновья Шемаи: Офни, Рефаил, Овид и Элзавад; его родственники Элигу и Семахия тоже были очень способными людьми. 8 Все они были потомками Овид-Эдома. Они сами, их сыновья и родственники были очень способными людьми, прилежными в работе. – Всего их было у Овид-Эдома шестьдесят два человека.
9 У Мешелемии было восемнадцать сыновей и родственников, которые также были способными людьми.
10 У мераритянина Хосы были сыновья: первый Шимрий (хотя он и не был первенцем, его отец сделал его главным), 11 второй Хелкия, третий Тевалия и четвертый Захария. Сыновей и родственников Хосы было тринадцать человек.
12 Эти отделения привратников – согласно тому, кто был их начальником, – имели обязанности в служении в доме Господа, как и их родственники. 13 Они бросали жребии по своим кланам на каждые ворота – молодой наравне со старым.
14 Восточные ворота выпали по жребию Шелемии[a]. Затем был брошен жребий для его сына Захарии, мудрого советчика, и ему выпали Северные ворота. 15 Южные ворота выпали по жребию Овид-Эдому, а кладовые – его сыновьям. 16 Западные ворота и ворота Шаллехет на верхней дороге выпали по жребию Шупиму и Хосе.
Одна стража стояла напротив другой: 17 шестеро левитов каждый день стояли на восточной стороне, четверо на северной, четверо на южной и по двое у кладовых. 18 Что же до западной колоннады, то четверо стояли там у дороги и двое – внутри самой колоннады.
19 Так были распределены привратники, потомки Кораха и Мерари.
Распределение хранителей сокровищницы
20 Их собратьям-левитам были вверены сокровищницы Божьего дома и сокровищницы для посвященных вещей.
21 Потомки Лаедана, которые были гершонитами по линии Лаедана и главами семейств, происходивших от гершонита Лаедана: Иехиил. 22 Сыновья Иехиила: Зетам и его брат Иоиль. Им были вверены сокровищницы Господнего дома.
23 Из амрамитов, ицгаритов, хевронитов и узиилитов:
24 Шевуил, потомок сына Моисея Гершома, был главным смотрителем за сокровищницами. 25 Его родственники через Элиезера: сын Элиезера Рехавия, отец Иешаии, отца Иорама, отца Зихрия, отца Шеломита. 26 Шеломиту и его родственникам были вверены все сокровищницы для вещей, посвященных царем Давидом, главами семейств, которые были тысячниками, сотниками и военачальниками. 27 Часть добычи, взятой в сражении, они посвящали на поддержание Господнего дома. 28 Все, что было посвящено провидцем Самуилом, Саулом, сыном Киша, Авнером, сыном Нира, и Иоавом, сыном Саруи, и все прочие посвященные вещи были доверены Шеломиту и его родственникам.
29 Из ицгаритов: Хенании и его сыновьям были определены обязанности за пределами дома – они были сановниками и судьями над Израилем.
30 Из хевронитов: Хашавия и его родственники – тысяча семьсот способных людей – отвечали в Израиле к западу от Иордана за всю работу в служении Господу и на царской службе. 31 Вождем у хевронитов был Иерия. (В сороковой год правления Давида родословные записи хевронитян были исследованы и в Иазере Галаадском нашлись очень способные люди из хевронитов.) 32 У Иерии было две тысячи семьсот родственников, очень способных людей, глав семейств, и царь Давид поставил их над родами Рувима, Гада и половиной рода Манассии во всяком Божьем деле и во всех делах царя.

New King James Version
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.
