1 Chronicles 9
New American Standard Bible
People of Jerusalem
9 So all Israel was enrolled in genealogies; and behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. And (A)Judah was taken into exile to Babylon for their infidelity.
2 (B)Now the first inhabitants who lived on their own property in their cities were people of Israel, including the priests, the Levites, and (C)the [a]temple servants. 3 Some of the sons of Judah, some of the sons of Benjamin, and some of the sons of Ephraim and Manasseh lived in (D)Jerusalem: 4 Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, from the sons of Perez the (E)son of Judah. 5 From the Shilonites were Asaiah the firstborn and his sons. 6 From the sons of Zerah were Jeuel and their relatives, 690 of them. 7 From the sons of Benjamin were Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah, 8 and Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah; 9 and their relatives according to their generations, (F)956. All these men were heads of fathers’ households according to their fathers’ houses.
10 (G)From the priests were Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, Jachin, 11 and [b]Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, (H)the chief officer of the house of God; 12 and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer; 13 and their relatives, heads of their fathers’ households, 1,760 competent men for the work of the service of the house of God.
14 (I)Of the Levites, there were Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari; 15 and Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal; and Mattaniah the son of Mica, the son of [c]Zichri, the son of Asaph, 16 and [d]Obadiah the son of [e]Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun; and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who lived in the settlements of the Netophathites.
17 Now the gatekeepers were [f]Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their relatives (Shallum the chief 18 being stationed until now at (J)the king’s gate to the east). These were the gatekeepers for the camp of the sons of Levi. 19 Shallum the son of Kore, the son of [g]Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his relatives of his father’s house, the Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, doorkeepers of the tent; and their fathers had been in charge of the camp of the Lord, keepers of the entrance. 20 (K)Phinehas the son of Eleazar was supervisor over them previously, and the Lord was with him. 21 (L)Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper of the entrance of the tent of meeting. 22 Those who were chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds were 212 in all. They were registered by genealogy in their settlements, (M)those whom David and Samuel the seer appointed (N)in their official capacity. 23 So they and their sons were in charge of the gates of the house of the Lord, the house of the tent, in their divisions of service. 24 The gatekeepers were [h]on the four sides, to the east, west, north, and south. 25 Their relatives in their settlements (O)were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with [i]them; 26 for the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, served in an official capacity, and were in charge of the chambers and in charge of the treasuries in the house of God. 27 They spent the night around the house of God, (P)because the watch was [j]committed to them; and they were in charge of opening it morning by morning.
28 Now some of them were in charge of the utensils of the service, for [k]they counted them when they brought them in and when they took them out. 29 Some of them also were appointed over the furniture and over all the utensils of the sanctuary, and (Q)over the finely milled flour, the wine, the olive oil, the frankincense, and the balsam oil. 30 Some of (R)the sons of the priests prepared the mixing of the balsam oil. 31 Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had (S)the [l]responsibility for the baking of cakes in pans. 32 Some of their relatives of the sons of the Kohathites (T)were in charge of the showbread to prepare it every Sabbath.
33 Now these are (U)the singers, heads of fathers’ households of the Levites, who lived in the chambers of the temple free of other duties; for they were [m]engaged (V)in their work day and night. 34 These were heads of fathers’ households of the Levites according to their generations, chief men [n]who lived in Jerusalem.

35 (W)Jeiel the father of Gibeon lived in Gibeon, and his wife’s name was Maacah, 36 and his firstborn son was Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab, 37 Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and Mikloth. 38 Mikloth fathered Shimeam.

La Bible du Semeur
Les habitants de Jérusalem après le retour de l’exil
9 Tout Israël a été recensé et inscrit dans les Annales des rois d’Israël[a]. La population de Juda fut déportée à Babylone, à cause de ses infidélités. 2 Les premiers à s’établir de nouveau dans leurs propriétés et dans leurs villes respectives, furent des Israélites, des prêtres, des lévites, et desservants[b] du Temple.
3 De plus, des gens des tribus de Juda, de Benjamin, d’Ephraïm et de Manassé s’établirent à Jérusalem : 4 Outaï, fils d’Ammihoud, ayant pour ascendants Omri, Imri, Bani, du lignage de Pérets, fils de Juda. 5 Parmi les Shilonites, il y avait Asaya, le premier-né et ses fils. 6 Des descendants de Zérah, il y avait Yeouel. Les membres de la tribu de Juda installés à Jérusalem étaient au nombre de 690. 7 De la tribu de Benjamin, il y avait Sallou, fils de Meshoullam, qui avait pour ascendants : Hodavia et Hassenoua ; 8 Yibneya, fils de Yeroham ; Ela, fils d’Ouzzi, et petit-fils de Mikri ; Meshoullam, fils de Shephatia et petit-fils de Reouel, le fils de Yibniya.
9 Les membres de la tribu de Benjamin installés à Jérusalem étaient au nombre de 956 et tous ces hommes étaient des chefs de groupe familial dans leur groupe familial.
10 Parmi les prêtres, il y avait : Yedaeya, Yehoyarib, Yakîn, 11 Azaria, fils de Hilqiya, qui avait pour ascendants : Meshoullam, Tsadoq, Merayoth, Ahitoub, responsable en chef du temple de Dieu ; 12 il y avait aussi Adaya, fils de Yeroham, qui avait pour ascendants Pashhour et Malkiya ; il y avait Maesaï, fils d’Adiel, dont les ascendants étaient Yahzéra, Meshoullam, Meshillémith et Immer. 13 Avec les autres prêtres, chefs de leur groupe familial, ils étaient au nombre de 1 760 hommes forts et valeureux affectés au service du temple de Dieu.
14 Parmi les lévites : Shemaya, fils de Hashoub, descendant d’Azriqam, Hashabia du lignage de Merari ; 15 il y avait aussi Baqbaqar, Héresh, Galal, Mattania, fils de Michée, petit-fils de Zikri, et descendant d’Asaph. 16 Il y avait Abdias, fils de Shemaya, descendant de Galal et Yedoutoun ; il y avait Bérékia, fils d’Asa et petit-fils d’Elqana, qui habitait dans les villages des Netophatites[c]. 17 Il y avait encore des portiers : Shalloum, Aqqoub, Talmôn, Ahimân et leurs frères. Shalloum en était le chef. 18 Et, jusqu’à présent, ses descendants surveillent l’entrée orientale du Temple appelée la porte du Roi. Ce sont là les portiers du camp des lévites. 19 Shalloum, fils de Qoré, descendant d’Ebyasaph, et de Qoré, ainsi que les autres membres du groupe familial des Qoréites, remplissaient les fonctions de gardiens de l’entrée de la tente de la Rencontre, comme leurs ancêtres avaient gardé l’entrée du camp de l’Eternel. 20 Phinéas, fils d’Eléazar, avait été autrefois leur chef car l’Eternel était avec lui.
21 Zacharie, fils de Meshélémia, était aussi portier à l’entrée de la tente de la Rencontre. 22 Ils étaient en tout 212 qui avaient été choisis comme portiers des entrées et ils avaient été recensés d’après leurs villages d’origine. David et Samuel le prophète les avaient établis dans leur fonction de façon permanente. 23 Eux et leurs descendants ont donc pour fonction de surveiller les portes du sanctuaire de l’Eternel, c’est-à-dire du sanctuaire de la tente. 24 Il y avait des portiers des quatre côtés : à l’est, à l’ouest, au nord et au sud. 25 D’autres portiers, qui demeuraient dans leurs villages respectifs, devaient de temps à autre venir auprès d’eux pendant sept jours. 26 Cependant, ces quatre portiers principaux étaient en fonction de façon permanente ; c’étaient des lévites et ils avaient la responsabilité des salles et des trésors du sanctuaire de Dieu. 27 Ils passaient la nuit dans les environs du sanctuaire de Dieu, puisqu’ils en avaient la garde et qu’ils devaient en ouvrir les portes chaque matin[d].
28 Certains lévites avaient la responsabilité des ustensiles du service : ils les comptaient lorsqu’on les emportait et lorsqu’on les rapportait. 29 D’autres étaient désignés pour veiller sur les ustensiles, y compris les ustensiles du sanctuaire, et sur la fleur de farine, le vin, l’huile, l’encens et les aromates. 30 Mais c’étaient des membres des familles sacerdotales qui composaient les parfums aromatiques. 31 Mattitia, l’un des lévites, fils aîné de Shalloum le Qoréite, était responsable de la fabrication des gâteaux cuits à la poêle. 32 D’autres lévites, faisant partie des Qehatites, avaient la responsabilité de préparer chaque jour de repos les pains devant être exposés devant l’Eternel.
33 Les chefs de groupe familial des lévites affectés au chant avaient leurs chambres ; ils étaient dispensés de toute autre tâche, parce qu’ils étaient de service jour et nuit. 34 Ce sont là des chefs de groupe familial des lévites chacun dans sa génération. Ils habitaient à Jérusalem.
La famille de Saül(A)
35 Le père de Gabaon[e], Yeïel, habitait à Gabaon. Sa femme s’appelait Maaka. 36 Abdôn fut son fils premier-né, puis vinrent Tsour, Qish, Baal, Ner, Nadab, 37 Guedor, Ahyo, Zacharie et Miqloth.
38 Miqloth eut pour fils Shimeam. Ces derniers habitaient eux aussi à Jérusalem avec ceux qui leur étaient apparentés. 39 Ner eut pour fils Qish, qui eut pour fils Saül ; les fils de Saül furent Jonathan, Malkishoua, Abinadab et Eshbaal. 40 Jonathan eut pour fils Merib-Baal, qui eut pour fils Michée. 41 Fils de Michée : Pitôn, Mélek et Tahréa[f]. 42 Ahaz eut pour fils Yaera[g] qui eut pour fils : Alémeth, Azmaveth et Zimri. Voici les descendants de Zimri en ligne directe : Motsa, 43 Binea, Rephaya, Eleasa, Atsel. 44 Atsel eut six fils, dont voici les noms : Azriqam, Bokrou, Ismaël, Shearia, Abdias et Hanân. Tels étaient les fils d’Atsel.

12 Adaiah son of Jeroham, the son of Pashhur,(H) the son of Malkijah; and Maasai son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer.
13 The priests, who were heads of families, numbered 1,760. They were able men, responsible for ministering in the house of God.

17 The gatekeepers:(K)
Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman and their fellow Levites, Shallum their chief 18 being stationed at the King’s Gate(L) on the east, up to the present time. These were the gatekeepers belonging to the camp of the Levites. 19 Shallum(M) son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his fellow gatekeepers from his family (the Korahites) were responsible for guarding the thresholds of the tent just as their ancestors had been responsible for guarding the entrance to the dwelling of the Lord. 20 In earlier times Phinehas(N) son of Eleazar was the official in charge of the gatekeepers, and the Lord was with him. 21 Zechariah(O) son of Meshelemiah was the gatekeeper at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
22 Altogether, those chosen to be gatekeepers(P) at the thresholds numbered 212. They were registered by genealogy in their villages. The gatekeepers had been assigned to their positions of trust by David and Samuel the seer.(Q) 23 They and their descendants were in charge of guarding the gates of the house of the Lord—the house called the tent of meeting. 24 The gatekeepers were on the four sides: east, west, north and south. 25 Their fellow Levites in their villages had to come from time to time and share their duties for seven-day(R) periods. 26 But the four principal gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted with the responsibility for the rooms and treasuries(S) in the house of God. 27 They would spend the night stationed around the house of God,(T) because they had to guard it; and they had charge of the key(U) for opening it each morning.
28 Some of them were in charge of the articles used in the temple service; they counted them when they were brought in and when they were taken out. 29 Others were assigned to take care of the furnishings and all the other articles of the sanctuary,(V) as well as the special flour and wine, and the olive oil, incense and spices. 30 But some(W) of the priests took care of mixing the spices. 31 A Levite named Mattithiah, the firstborn son of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with the responsibility for baking the offering bread. 32 Some of the Kohathites, their fellow Levites, were in charge of preparing for every Sabbath the bread set out on the table.(X)
33 Those who were musicians,(Y) heads of Levite families, stayed in the rooms of the temple and were exempt from other duties because they were responsible for the work day and night.(Z)
34 All these were heads of Levite families, chiefs as listed in their genealogy, and they lived in Jerusalem.
