1 Chronicles 9
New King James Version
Priests and Levites in Jerusalem
9 So (A)all Israel was [a]recorded by genealogies, and indeed, they were inscribed in the book of the kings of Israel. But Judah was carried away captive to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness. 2 (B)And the first inhabitants who dwelt in their possessions in their cities were Israelites, priests, Levites, and (C)the Nethinim.
Dwellers in Jerusalem
3 Now in (D)Jerusalem the children of Judah dwelt, and some of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim and Manasseh: 4 Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the descendants of Perez, the son of Judah. 5 Of the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn and his sons. 6 Of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel, and their brethren—six hundred and ninety. 7 Of the sons of Benjamin: Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah; 8 Ibneiah the son of Jeroham; Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri; Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah; 9 and their brethren, according to their generations—nine hundred and fifty-six. All these men were heads of a father’s house in their fathers’ houses.
The Priests at Jerusalem
10 (E)Of the priests: Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, and Jachin; 11 [b]Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the (F)officer over the house of God; 12 Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah; Maasai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer; 13 and their brethren, heads of their fathers’ houses—one thousand seven hundred and sixty. They were [c]very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
The Levites at Jerusalem
14 Of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari; 15 Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of (G)Zichri, the son of Asaph; 16 (H)Obadiah the son of (I)Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun; and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.
The Levite Gatekeepers
17 And the gatekeepers were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their brethren. Shallum was the chief. 18 Until then they had been gatekeepers for the camps of the children of Levi at the King’s Gate on the east.
19 Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, from his father’s house, the Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, [d]gatekeepers of the tabernacle. Their fathers had been keepers of the entrance to the camp of the Lord. 20 And (J)Phinehas the son of Eleazar had been the officer over them in time past; the Lord was with him. 21 (K)Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was [e]keeper of the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
22 All those chosen as gatekeepers were two hundred and twelve. (L)They were recorded by their genealogy, in their villages. David and Samuel (M)the seer had appointed them to their trusted office. 23 So they and their children were in charge of the gates of the house of the Lord, the house of the tabernacle, by assignment. 24 The gatekeepers were assigned to the four directions: the east, west, north, and south. 25 And their brethren in their villages had to come with them from time to time (N)for seven days. 26 For in this trusted office were four chief gatekeepers; they were Levites. And they had charge over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God. 27 And they lodged all around the house of God because [f]they had the (O)responsibility, and they were in charge of opening it every morning.
Other Levite Responsibilities
28 Now some of them were in charge of the serving vessels, for they brought them in and took them out by count. 29 Some of them were appointed over the furnishings and over all the implements of the sanctuary, and over the (P)fine flour and the wine and the oil and the incense and the spices. 30 And some of the sons of the priests made (Q)the ointment of the spices.
31 Mattithiah of the Levites, the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the trusted office (R)over the things that were baked in the pans. 32 And some of their brethren of the sons of the Kohathites (S)were in charge of preparing the showbread for every Sabbath.
33 These are (T)the singers, heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites, who lodged in the chambers, and were free from other duties; for they were employed in that work day and night. 34 These heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites were heads throughout their generations. They dwelt at Jerusalem.
The Family of King Saul
35 Jeiel the father of Gibeon, whose wife’s name was (U)Maacah, dwelt at Gibeon. 36 His firstborn son was Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab, 37 Gedor, Ahio, [g]Zechariah, and Mikloth. 38 And Mikloth begot [h]Shimeam. They also dwelt alongside their relatives in Jerusalem, with their brethren. 39 (V)Ner begot Kish, Kish begot Saul, and Saul begot Jonathan, Malchishua, Abinadab, and Esh-Baal. 40 The son of Jonathan was Merib-Baal, and Merib-Baal begot Micah. 41 The sons of Micah were Pithon, Melech, [i]Tahrea, (W)and[j] Ahaz. 42 And Ahaz begot [k]Jarah; Jarah begot Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begot Moza; 43 Moza begot Binea, [l]Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, and Azel his son.
44 And Azel had six sons whose names were these: Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan; these were the sons of Azel.

A Genealogy of the Returned Exiles
9 So all Israel was recorded in genealogies, and these are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. And (A)Judah was taken into exile in Babylon because of their breach of faith. 2 (B)Now the first to (C)dwell again in their possessions in their cities were Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the (D)temple servants. 3 And some of the people of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh lived in Jerusalem: 4 Uthai the son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, from the sons of (E)Perez the son of Judah. 5 And of the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons. 6 Of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel and their kinsmen, 690. 7 Of the Benjaminites: Sallu the son of Meshullam, son of Hodaviah, son of Hassenuah, 8 Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, Elah the son of Uzzi, son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, son of Reuel, son of Ibnijah; 9 and their kinsmen according to their generations, (F)956. All these were heads of fathers' houses according (G)to their fathers' houses.
10 (H)Of the priests: Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, Jachin, 11 and Azariah the son of Hilkiah, son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub, the (I)chief officer of the house of God; 12 and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, son of Malchijah, and Maasai the son of Adiel, son of Jahzerah, son of Meshullam, son of Meshillemith, son of Immer; 13 besides their kinsmen, heads of their fathers' houses, 1,760, mighty men for the work of the service of the house of God.
14 (J)Of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari; 15 and Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal and Mattaniah the son of Mica, son of Zichri, son of Asaph; 16 and Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.
17 The gatekeepers were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their kinsmen (Shallum was the chief); 18 until then they were (K)in the king's gate on the east side as the gatekeepers of the camps of the Levites. 19 Shallum the son of Kore, son of (L)Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his kinsmen of his fathers' house, the (M)Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent, as their fathers had been in charge of the camp of the Lord, keepers of the entrance. 20 And (N)Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the chief officer over them in time past; the Lord was with him. 21 (O)Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 22 All these, who were chosen as gatekeepers at the thresholds, were 212. They were enrolled by genealogies in their villages. (P)David and Samuel (Q)the seer established them in their office of trust. 23 So they and their sons were in charge of the gates of the house of the Lord, that is, the house of the tent, as guards. 24 The gatekeepers were on the four sides, east, west, north, and south. 25 And their kinsmen who were (R)in their villages were obligated to come (S)in every seven days, in turn, to be with these, 26 for the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted to be over (T)the chambers and the treasures of the house of God. 27 And they lodged around the house of God, for on them lay the duty of watching, and (U)they had charge of opening it every morning.
28 Some of them had charge of the utensils of service, for they were required to count them when they were brought in and taken out. 29 Others of them were appointed over the furniture and over all the holy utensils, also over the (V)fine flour, the wine, the oil, the incense, and the spices. 30 Others, of the sons of the priests, (W)prepared the mixing of the spices, 31 and Mattithiah, one of the Levites, the firstborn of (X)Shallum the (Y)Korahite, was entrusted with (Z)making the flat cakes. 32 Also some of their kinsmen of the Kohathites had (AA)charge of the showbread, to prepare it every Sabbath.
33 Now these, the (AB)singers, the heads of fathers' houses of the Levites, were in the chambers of the temple free from other service, for they were on duty day and night. 34 These were heads of fathers' houses of the Levites, according to their generations, leaders. These lived in Jerusalem.
Saul's Genealogy Repeated
35 (AC)In Gibeon lived the father of Gibeon, Jeiel, and the name of his wife was Maacah, 36 and his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab, 37 Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and Mikloth; 38 and Mikloth was the father of Shimeam; and these also lived opposite their kinsmen in Jerusalem, with their kinsmen. 39 (AD)Ner fathered Kish, Kish fathered Saul, Saul fathered Jonathan, Malchi-shua, Abinadab, and Eshbaal. 40 And the son of Jonathan was (AE)Merib-baal, and Merib-baal fathered Micah. 41 The sons of Micah: Pithon, Melech, Tahrea, and (AF)Ahaz.[a] 42 And Ahaz fathered (AG)Jarah, and Jarah fathered Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri. And Zimri fathered Moza. 43 Moza fathered Binea, and (AH)Rephaiah was his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son. 44 Azel had six sons and these are their names: Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan; these were the sons of Azel.

Habitantes de Jerusalén
9 Todo Israel quedó censado y registrado en el libro de los Reyes de Israel. Judá fue desterrado a Babilonia por su infidelidad. 2 Los primeros que regresaron a sus posesiones y ciudades fueron tanto israelitas seglares como sacerdotes, levitas y sirvientes del Templo. 3 En Jerusalén se establecieron descendientes de Judá, Benjamín, Efraín y Manasés.
4 De los descendientes del judaíta Fares: Utay, descendiente de Amihud, de Omrí, de Imrí y de Baní. 5 De los descendientes de Selá: el primogénito Asaías y sus hijos. 6 De los descendientes de Zéraj, Jeuel y sus parientes, seiscientos noventa en total. 7 De los descendientes de Benjamín, Salú, descendiente de Mesulán, de Hodavías y de Hasenuá; 8 Jibnías, descendiente de Jeroján; Elá, descendiente de Uzí y de Micrí; y Mesulán, descendiente de Safatías, de Reuel y de Jibnías; 9 y sus parientes genealógicos, novecientos cincuenta y seis en total. Todos ellos eran cabezas de familia en sus respectivas familias.
10 De los sacerdotes: Jedaías, Joyarib, Jaquín, 11 Azarías, descendiente de Jilquías, de Mesulán, de Sadoc, de Merayot y de Ajitub, el encargado del Templo; 12 Adaías, descendiente de Jeroján, de Pasjur y de Malquías; Masay, descendiente de Adiel, de Jajzerá, de Mesulán, de Mesilemit y de Imer; 13 y sus parientes, cabezas de familia, en total mil setecientos sesenta, gente eficaz en las tareas del servicio del Templo.
14 De los levitas: Semaías, descendiente de Jasub, de Azricán y de Jasabías, del clan de Merarí; 15 Bacbacar, Jeres, Galal y Matanías, descendiente de Micá, de Zicrí y de Asaf; 16 Abdías, descendiente de Semaías, de Galal y de Jedutún; y Beraquías, descendiente de Asá y de Elcaná, que residía en las aldeas netofatitas.
17 De los porteros, Salún, Acub, Talmón y Ajimán. Su hermano Salún era el jefe. 18 Hasta el día de hoy están en la puerta del rey, a oriente, y son los porteros de los campamentos de levitas. 19 Salún, descendiente de Coré, de Abiasaf y de Córaj, y sus parientes del clan de los corajitas estaban encargados del servicio de guardia de la entrada de la Tienda, igual que sus antepasados habían sido los guardianes de la entrada del campamento del Señor. 20 Antiguamente su jefe había sido Finés, el hijo de Eleazar; y el Señor estaba con él. 21 Zacarías, hijo de Meselemías, era el portero de la entrada de la Tienda del encuentro. 22 Todos los elegidos para porteros de las entradas sumaban doscientos doce y estaban censados en sus pueblos. David y el profeta Samuel los habían elegido por su fidelidad. 23 Ellos y sus descendientes estaban encargados de las puertas del Templo del Señor, es decir, del santuario. 24 Había porteros en los cuatro puntos cardinales: al este, al oeste, al norte y al sur. 25 Sus parientes, que vivían en sus pueblos, tenían que venir de vez en cuando para acompañarlos durante siete días. 26 Pero los cuatro porteros principales, que eran levitas, tenían servicio permanente y estaban encargados de las dependencias y de los tesoros del Templo de Dios. 27 Pasaban la noche en los alrededores del Templo, pues estaban encargados de vigilarlo y abrirlo cada mañana. 28 Algunos de ellos tenían a su cargo los objetos del culto y los contaban al guardarlos y al sacarlos. 29 Otros estaban encargados de los utensilios y vasos sagrados, de la flor de harina, el vino, el aceite, el incienso y los perfumes. 30 Pero eran los sacerdotes quienes hacían la mezcla de los perfumes. 31 El levita Matitías, primogénito del corajita Salún, se encargaba siempre de preparar las frituras 32 y algunos de sus parientes queatitas eran los encargados de colocar cada sábado los panes de la ofrenda.
33 Los cantores, cabezas de familia levitas, residían en las dependencias del Templo y estaban liberados porque se ocupaban de su servicio noche y día.
34 Todos estos eran los cabezas de familia levitas, según sus genealogías, y residían en Jerusalén.
La familia de Saúl
35 En Gabaón residían Jeiel, el fundador de Gabaón, su esposa llamada Maacá, 36 su primogénito Abdón, Sur, Quis, Baal, Ner, Nadab, 37 Guedor, Ajió, Zacarías y Miclot. 38 Miclot fue padre de Simán. También estos, como sus hermanos, residían en Jerusalén con ellos.
39 Ner fue padre de Quis, Quis fue padre de Saúl y Saúl fue padre de Jonatán, Malquisúa, Abinadab e Isbaal. 40 Meribaal fue hijo de Jonatán y padre de Micá. 41 Descendientes de Micá: Pitón, Mélec, Tarea y Ajaz. 42 Ajaz fue padre de Jará, Jará fue padre de Alémet, Azmávet y Zimrí, y Zimrí fue padre de Mosá. 43 Mosá fue padre de Bineá que lo fue de Rafaías, que lo fue de Elasá, que lo fue de Asel. 44 Asel tuvo seis hijos, cuyos nombres eran: Azricán, Bocrú, Ismael, Searías, Abdías y Janán, todos ellos hijos de Asel.
