Assim todos os israelitas ficaram registrados nas listas das famílias e inscritos no livro dos reis de Israel.

Os que voltaram a Jerusalém

O povo de Judá foi levado prisioneiro para a Babilônia por ser infiel a Deus. Os primeiros a regressarem para sua terra natal foram alguns israelitas, sacerdotes, levitas e ministros do templo. Em Jerusalém se estabeleceram alguns descendentes de Judá, Benjamim, Efraim e Manassés.

Da família de Perez, filho de Judá, estava Utai, que era filho de Amiúde; Amiúde era filho de Onri; Onri era filho de Inri, e Inri era filho de Bani.

Dos silonitas estava Asaías, que era o filho mais velho, junto com os seus filhos.

Dos zeraítas estava toda a família de Jeuel, que eram 690 ao todo.

Da tribo de Benjamim estava Salu, que era filho de Mesulão; Mesulão era filho de Hodavias, e Hodavias era filho de Hassenua. Também de Benjamim estavam Ibnias, filho de Jeroão; Elá, filho de Uzi e neto de Micri; Mesulão, filho de Sefatias, neto de Reuel e bisneto de Ibnias. Junto com eles estavam todos os seus irmãos, ao todo eram 956. Todos eles eram chefes de famílias.

10 Dentre os sacerdotes estavam Jedaías, Jeoiaribe, Jaquim 11 e Azarias, filho de Hilquias, neto de Mesulão, bisneto de Zadoque, trineto de Meraiote, tetraneto de Aitube; o supervisor chefe do templo de Deus. 12 Também estavam Adaías, filho de Jeroão, neto de Pasur e bisneto de Malquias; e Masai, filho de Adiel e neto de Jazera. Jazera era filho de Mesulão; Mesulão era filho de Mesilemite; Mesilemite era filho de Imer. 13 Junto com eles estavam também todos os parentes. Eram ao todo 1.760, todos muito capazes nos assuntos do serviço no templo de Deus.

14 Dos levitas estava Semaías, filho de Hassube, neto de Azricão e bisneto de Hasabias. Todos eles eram descendentes de Merari. 15 Também estavam Baquebacar, Heres, Galal, e Matanias, filho de Mica, neto de Zicri e bisneto de Asafe. 16 Além, Obadias, filho de Semaías, neto de Galal e bisneto de Jedutum; e Berequias, filho de Asa e neto de Elcana. Eles moravam nas aldeias dos netofatitas.

17 Os porteiros eram Acube, Talmom, Aimã e Salum, que era o chefe de todos. 18 Ainda hoje são eles os que devem cuidar da porta do rei que se encontra ao oriente. Eles têm sido os porteiros do acampamento dos levitas. 19 Salum (filho de Coré, neto de Ebiasafe, bisneto de Coré) e seus parentes coreítas eram os responsáveis em guardar a entrada da Tenda do Encontro assim como seus antepassados tinham guardado a entrada do acampamento do SENHOR. 20 Muito antes, o chefe deles foi Fineias, filho de Eleazar, e o SENHOR estava com ele. 21 Zacarias, filho de Meselemias, era o guarda da entrada da Tenda do Encontro.

22 Ao todo foram nomeados 212 homens como guardas das portas. Todos eles estavam inscritos nos livros de registros das famílias e, como eram dignos de confiança, foram escolhidos para seus cargos por Davi e Samuel o vidente. 23 Eles e as suas famílias estavam encarregados de vigiar a entrada da tenda que se usava como templo do SENHOR. 24 Os porteiros estavam posicionados nos quatro pontos cardinais: norte, sul, oriente e ocidente. 25 As suas famílias vinham ajudá-los em turnos de sete dias. 26 Os quatro chefes da guarda estavam de serviço constantemente. Eram levitas e eram responsáveis pela vigilância das salas e os tesouros no templo de Deus. 27 Eles passavam a noite no corredor da entrada do templo, pois seu trabalho era vigiar e abrir as portas pela manhã.

28 Alguns estavam encarregados do inventário dos utensílios do serviço. Deviam contar tudo o que saía e tudo o que entrava. 29 Outros estavam encarregados dos móveis, de todos os utensílios sagrados, da farinha fina, o azeite de oliva, o vinho, o incenso e as especiarias, 30 mas os filhos dos sacerdotes eram os encarregados de misturar os ingredientes para as especiarias. 31 Matitias era um dos levitas, o filho mais velho de Salum, o coreíta. Matitias estava encarregado de fazer as tortas para a oferta. 32 Alguns dos seus parentes coatitas estavam encarregados de preparar o pão consagrado, que se colocava sobre a mesa todo sábado.

33 Também havia cantores que eram chefes de famílias levitas, livres de outras responsabilidades, porque estavam a serviço dia e noite.

34 Estes eram os chefes de família dos levitas, de acordo com seus registros de famílias. Todos eles moravam em Jerusalém.

Genealogical records were kept for all Israel; they are recorded in the Scroll of the Kings of Israel.

Exiles Who Resettled in Jerusalem

The people of Judah[a] were carried away to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness. The first to resettle on their property and in their cities were some Israelites, priests, Levites, and temple servants.[b] Some from the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim and Manasseh settled in Jerusalem.

The settlers included:[c] Uthai son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, who was a descendant of Perez son of Judah.

From the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn and his sons.

From the descendants of Zerah: Jeuel.

Their relatives numbered 690.

From the descendants of Benjamin:

Sallu son of Meshullam, son of Hodaviah, son of Hassenuah; Ibneiah son of Jeroham; Elah son of Uzzi, son of Mikri; and Meshullam son of Shephatiah, son of Reuel, son of Ibnijah.

Their relatives, listed in their genealogical records, numbered 956. All these men were leaders of their families.[d]

10 From the priests:

Jedaiah; Jehoiarib; Jakin; 11 Azariah son of Hilkiah, son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub the leader in God’s temple; 12 Adaiah son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, son of Malkijah; and Maasai son of Adiel, son of Jahzerah, son of Meshullam, son of Meshillemith, son of Immer.

13 Their relatives, who were leaders of their families, numbered 1,760. They were capable men who were assigned to carry out the various tasks of service in God’s temple.[e]

14 From the Levites:

Shemaiah son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah a descendant of Merari; 15 Bakbakkar; Heresh; Galal; Mattaniah son of Mika, son of Zikri, son of Asaph; 16 Obadiah son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun; and Berechiah son of Asa, son of Elkanah, who lived among the settlements of the Netophathites.

17 The gatekeepers were:

Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their brothers. Shallum was the leader; 18 he serves to this day at the King’s Gate on the east. These were the gatekeepers from the camp of the descendants of Levi.

19 Shallum son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his relatives from his family (the Korahites) were assigned to guard the entrance to the sanctuary.[f] Their ancestors had guarded the entrance to the Lord’s dwelling place.[g] 20 Phinehas son of Eleazar had been their leader in earlier times, and the Lord was with him. 21 Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was the guard at the entrance to the meeting tent.

22 All those selected to be gatekeepers at the entrances numbered 212. Their names were recorded in the genealogical records of their settlements. David and Samuel the prophet[h] had appointed them to their positions.[i] 23 They and their descendants were assigned to guard the gates of the Lord’s sanctuary (that is, the tabernacle).[j] 24 The gatekeepers were posted on all four sides—east, west, north, and south. 25 Their relatives, who lived in their settlements, came from time to time and served with them for seven-day periods. 26 The four head gatekeepers, who were Levites, were assigned to guard the storerooms and treasuries in God’s sanctuary.[k] 27 They would spend the night in their posts all around God’s sanctuary,[l] for they were assigned to guard it and would open it with the key every morning. 28 Some of them were in charge of the articles used by those who served; they counted them when they brought them in and when they brought them out.[m] 29 Some of them were in charge of the equipment and articles of the sanctuary,[n] as well as the flour, wine, olive oil, incense, and spices. 30 (But some of the priests mixed the spices.) 31 Mattithiah, a Levite, the firstborn son[o] of Shallum the Korahite, was in charge of baking the bread for offerings. 32 Some of the Kohathites, their relatives, were in charge of preparing the bread that is displayed each Sabbath.

33 The musicians and Levite family leaders stayed in rooms at the sanctuary[p] and were exempt from other duties, for day and night they had to carry out their assigned tasks. 34 These were the family leaders of the Levites, as listed in their genealogical records. They lived in Jerusalem.

  21. 1 Chronicles 9:41 tc The name “Ahaz” is included in the Vulgate and Syriac, but omitted in the MT. It probably was accidentally omitted by haplography. Note that the name appears at the beginning of the next verse. Cf. also 8:35.
  22. 1 Chronicles 9:42 tc So MT; some Hebrew mss and the LXX read “Jadah” (cf. NIV, NCV, NLT) while in 8:36 the name “Jehoaddah’ appears (cf. NAB).
  23. 1 Chronicles 9:44 tc The Hebrew text has בֹּכְרוּ (bokheru), which some understand as a name: “Bocheru” (so, e.g., NEB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). But the form should probably be revocalized בְֹּכרוֹ (bekhoro, “his firstborn”). A name has accidentally dropped from the list, and a scribe apparently read בֹּכְרוּ as one of the names. Cf. also 1 Chr 8:38.

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)

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)
