1 Chronicles 9
New International Version

9 All Israel(A) was listed in the genealogies recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. They were taken captive to Babylon(B) because of their unfaithfulness.(C)

The People in Jerusalem(D)

2 Now the first to resettle on their own property in their own towns(E) were some Israelites, priests, Levites and temple servants.(F)

3 Those from Judah, from Benjamin, and from Ephraim and Manasseh who lived in Jerusalem were:

4 Uthai son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, a descendant of Perez son of Judah.(G)

5 Of the Shelanites[a]:

Asaiah the firstborn and his sons.

6 Of the Zerahites:

Jeuel.

The people from Judah numbered 690.

7 Of the Benjamites:

Sallu son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah;

8 Ibneiah son of Jeroham; Elah son of Uzzi, the son of Mikri; and Meshullam son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah.

9 The people from Benjamin, as listed in their genealogy, numbered 956. All these men were heads of their families.

10 Of the priests:

Jedaiah; Jehoiarib; Jakin;

11 Azariah son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the official in charge of the house of God;

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.

14 Of the Levites:

Shemaiah son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, a Merarite; 15 Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal and Mattaniah(I) son of Mika, the son of Zikri, the son of Asaph; 16 Obadiah son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun; and Berekiah son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.(J)

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.

The Genealogy of Saul(AA)

35 Jeiel(AB) the father[b] of Gibeon lived in Gibeon.

His wife’s name was Maakah, 36 and his firstborn son was Abdon, followed by Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab, 37 Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah and Mikloth. 38 Mikloth was the father of Shimeam. They too lived near their relatives in Jerusalem.

39 Ner(AC) was the father of Kish,(AD) Kish the father of Saul, and Saul the father of Jonathan,(AE) Malki-Shua, Abinadab and Esh-Baal.[c](AF)

Habitantes de Jerusalém depois da volta do cativeiro

9 E todo o Israel foi contado por genealogias; eis que estão escritos no livro dos reis de Israel; e os de Judá foram transportados à Babilônia, por causa da sua transgressão. 2 E os primeiros habitadores, que moravam nas suas possessões e nas suas cidades, foram os israelitas, os sacerdotes, os levitas e os netineus. 3 Porém alguns dos filhos de Judá, e dos filhos de Benjamim, e dos filhos de Efraim e Manassés habitaram em Jerusalém: 4 Utai, filho de Amiúde, filho de Onri, filho de Inri, filho de Bani, dos filhos de Perez, filho de Judá; 5 e dos silonitas: Asaías, o primogênito, e seus filhos; 6 e dos filhos de Zerá: Jeuel e seus irmãos, seiscentos e noventa; 7 e dos filhos de Benjamim: Salu, filho de Mesulão, filho de Hodavias, filho de Hassenuá; 8 e Ibneias, filho de Jeroão, e Elá, filho de Uzi, filho de Micri, e Mesulão, filho de Sefatias, filho de Reuel, filho de Ibnijas; 9 e seus irmãos segundo as suas gerações, novecentos e cinquenta e seis; todos esses homens foram cabeças dos pais nas casas de seus pais.

10 E dos sacerdotes: Jedaías, e Jeoiaribe, e Jaquim, 11 e Azarias, filho de Hilquias, filho de Mesulão, filho de Zadoque, filho de Meraiote, filho de Aitube, maioral da Casa de Deus; 12 Adaías, filho de Jeroão, filho de Pasur, filho de Malquias, e Masai, filho de Adiel, filho de Jazera, filho de Mesulão, filho de Mesilemite, filho de Imer; 13 como também seus irmãos, cabeças nas casas de seus pais, mil setecentos e sessenta, varões valentes para a obra do ministério da Casa de Deus.

14 E dos levitas: Semaías, filho de Hassube, filho de Azricão, filho de Hasabias, dos filhos de Merari; 15 e Baquebacar, e Heres, e Galal, e Matanias, filho de Mica, filho de Zicri, filho de Asafe; 16 e Obadias, filho de Semaías, filho de Galal, filho de Jedutum; e Berequias, filho de Asa, filho de Elcana, morador das aldeias dos netofatitas.

17 E foram porteiros: Salum, e Acube, e Talmom, e Aimã e seus irmãos, cujo chefe era Salum. 18 E até àquele tempo estavam de guarda à porta do rei para o oriente; estes foram os porteiros entre os arraiais dos filhos de Levi. 19 E Salum, filho de Coré, filho de Ebiasafe, filho de Corá, e seus irmãos da casa de seu pai, os coraítas, tinham cargo da obra do ministério e eram guardas dos umbrais do tabernáculo; e seus pais foram capitães do arraial do Senhor e guardadores da entrada. 20 E Fineias, filho de Eleazar, dantes, era entre eles guia, com o qual era o Senhor. 21 E Zacarias, filho de Meselemias, era o porteiro da porta da tenda da congregação. 22 Todos estes, escolhidos para serem porteiros dos umbrais, foram duzentos e doze; e foram estes, segundo as suas aldeias, postos em suas genealogias; e Davi e Samuel, o vidente, os constituíram no seu cargo. 23 Estavam, pois, eles e seus filhos às portas da Casa do Senhor, na casa da tenda, junto aos guardas. 24 Os porteiros estavam aos quatro ventos: ao oriente, ao ocidente, ao norte e ao sul. 25 E seus irmãos estavam nas suas aldeias e, no sétimo dia, de tempo em tempo, entravam a servir com eles. 26 Porque havia, naquele ofício, quatro porteiros-mores que eram levitas e tinham cargo das câmaras e dos tesouros da Casa de Deus. 27 E, de noite, ficavam à roda da Casa de Deus, porque a guarda lhes estava encarregada, e tinham cargo de abrir, e isso cada manhã.

28 E alguns deles tinham cargo dos utensílios do ministério, porque por conta os traziam e por conta os tiravam. 29 Porque deles alguns havia que tinham cargo dos móveis e de todos os objetos sagrados, como também da flor de farinha, e do vinho, e do azeite, e do incenso, e da especiaria. 30 E alguns dos filhos dos sacerdotes eram os obreiros da confecção das especiarias. 31 E Matitias, dentre os levitas, o primogênito de Salum, o coraíta, tinha cargo da obra que se fazia em assadeiras. 32 E alguns dos filhos dos coatitas, de seus irmãos, houve alguns que tinham cargo dos pães da proposição, para os prepararem em todos os sábados.

33 Destes foram também os cantores, cabeças dos pais entre os levitas, habitando nas câmaras, isentos de serviços; porque, de dia e de noite, estava a seu cargo ocuparem-se naquela obra. 34 Estes foram cabeças dos pais entre os levitas, chefes em suas gerações; estes habitaram em Jerusalém.

35 Porém em Gibeão habitaram Jeiel, pai de Gibeão (e era o nome de sua mulher Maaca), 36 e seu filho primogênito Abdom, depois Zur, e Quis, e Baal, e Ner, e Nadabe, 37 e Gedor, e Aiô, e Zacarias, e Miclote. 38 E Miclote gerou a Simeia, e também estes defronte de seus irmãos, habitaram em Jerusalém com seus irmãos. 39 E Ner gerou a Quis, e Quis gerou a Saul, e Saul gerou a Jônatas, e a Malquisua, e a Abinadabe, e a Esbaal. 40 E filho de Jônatas foi Meribe-Baal, e Meribe-Baal gerou a Mica. 41 E os filhos de Mica foram Pitom, e Meleque, e Tareia. 42 E Acaz gerou a Jaerá, e Jaerá gerou a Alemete, e a Azmavete, e a Zinri; e Zinri gerou a Mosa. 43 E Mosa gerou a Bineá, cujo filho foi Refaías, cujo filho foi Eleasa, cujo filho foi Azel. 44 E teve Azel seis filhos, e estes foram os seus nomes: Azricão, e Bocru, e Ismael, e Searias, e Obadias, e Hanã; estes foram os filhos de Azel.

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.
