1 Chronicles 26:20-28
New English Translation
Supervisors of the Storehouses
20 Their fellow Levites were[a] in charge of the storehouses[b] in God’s temple and the storehouses containing consecrated items. 21 The descendants of Ladan,[c] who were descended from Gershon through Ladan and were leaders of the families of Ladan the Gershonite, included Jehieli[d] 22 and the sons of Jehieli, Zetham and his brother Joel. They were in charge of the storehouses in the Lord’s temple.
23 As for the Amramites, Izharites, Hebronites, and Uzzielites:
24 Shebuel[e] son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was the supervisor of the storehouses. 25 His relatives through Eliezer included: Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zikri his son, and Shelomith[f] his son. 26 Shelomith[g] and his relatives were in charge of all the storehouses containing the consecrated items dedicated by King David, the family leaders who led units of a thousand and a hundred, and the army officers. 27 They had dedicated some of the plunder taken in battles to be used for repairs on the Lord’s temple. 28 They were also in charge of everything dedicated by Samuel the prophet,[h] Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah; Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of everything that had been dedicated.
