2 De filiis Asaph: Zachur, et Joseph, et Nathania, et Asarela, filii Asaph: sub manu Asaph prophetantis juxta regem.
3 Porro Idithun: filii Idithun, Godolias, Sori, Jeseias, et Hasabias, et Mathathias, sex, sub manu patris sui Idithun, qui in cithara prophetabat super confitentes et laudantes Dominum.

5 omnes isti filii Heman videntis regis in sermonibus Dei, ut exaltaret cornu: deditque Deus Heman filios quatuordecim, et filias tres.
6 Universi sub manu patris sui ad cantandum in templo Domini distributi erant, in cymbalis, et psalteriis, et citharis, in ministeria domus Domini juxta regem: Asaph videlicet, et Idithun, et Heman.
7 Fuit autem numerus eorum cum fratribus suis, qui erudiebant canticum Domini, cuncti doctores, ducenti octoginta octo.
8 Miseruntque sortes per vices suas, ex aequo tam major quam minor, doctus pariter et indoctus.
9 Egressaque est sors prima Joseph, qui erat de Asaph. Secunda Godoliae, ipsi et filiis ejus, et fratribus ejus duodecim.

26 Divisiones autem janitorum: de Coritis Meselemia, filius Core, de filiis Asaph.
2 Filii Meselemiae: Zacharias primogenitus, Jadihel secundus, Zabadias tertius, Jathanael quartus,
3 AElam quintus, Johanan sextus, Elioenai septimus.
4 Filii autem Obededom: Semeias primogenitus, Jozabad secundus, Joaha tertius, Sachar quartus, Nathanael quintus,
5 Ammiel sextus, Issachar septimus, Phollathi octavus: quia benedixit illi Dominus.
6 Semei autem filio ejus nati sunt filii, praefecti familiarum suarum: erant enim viri fortissimi.
7 Filii ergo Semeiae: Othni, et Raphael, et Obed, Elzabad, fratres ejus viri fortissimi: Eliu quoque et Samachias.
8 Omnes hi, de filiis Obededom: ipsi, et filii et fratres eorum, fortissimi ad ministrandum, sexaginta duo de Obededom.
9 Porro Meselemiae filii, et fratres eorum robustissimi, decem et octo.
10 De Hosa autem, id est, de filiis Merari: Semri princeps (non enim habuerat primogenitum, et idcirco posuerat eum pater ejus in principem),
11 Helcias secundus, Tabelias tertius, Zacharias quartus: omnes hi filii et fratres Hosa, tredecim.
12 Hi divisi sunt in janitores, ut semper principes custodiarum, sicut et fratres eorum ministrarent in domo Domini.
13 Missae sunt ergo sortes ex aequo, et parvis et magnis, per familias suas in unamquamque portarum.
14 Cecidit ergo sors orientalis, Selemiae. Porro Zachariae filio ejus, viro prudentissimo et erudito, sortito obtigit plaga septentrionalis.
15 Obededom vero et filiis ejus ad austrum: in qua parte domus erat seniorum concilium.
16 Sephim et Hosa ad occidentem, juxta portam, quae ducit ad viam ascensionis: custodia contra custodiam.
17 Ad orientem vero Levitae sex: et ad aquilonem, quatuor per diem: atque ad meridiem similiter in die quatuor: et ubi erat concilium bini et bini.
18 In cellulis quoque janitorum ad occidentem quatuor in via, binique per cellulas.
19 Hae sunt divisiones janitorum filiorum Core et Merari.
20 Porro Achias erat super thesauros domus Dei, et vasa sanctorum.
21 Filii Ledan, filii Gersonni: de Ledan principes familiarum Ledan, et Gersonni, Jehieli.
22 Filii Jehieli: Zathan, et Joel fratres ejus super thesauros domus Domini.
23 Amramitis, et Isaaritis, et Hebronitis, et Ozihelitis.
24 Subael autem filius Gersom filii Moysi, praepositus thesauris.
25 Fratres quoque ejus Eliezer, cujus filius Rahabia, et hujus filius Isaias, et hujus filius Joram, hujus quoque filius Zechri, et hujus filius Selemith.
26 Ipse Selemith, et fratres ejus, super thesauros sanctorum quae sanctificavit David rex, et principes familiarum, et tribuni, et centuriones, et duces exercitus,
27 de bellis et manubiis praeliorum, quae consecraverant ad instaurationem et supellectilem templi Domini.
28 Haec autem universa sanctificavit Samuel videns, et Saul filius Cis, et Abner filius Ner, et Joab filius Sarviae: omnes qui sanctificaverant ea per manum Selemith et fratrum ejus.
29 Isaaritis vero praeerat Chonenias, et filii ejus ad opera forinsecus super Israel ad docendum et judicandum eos.
30 Porro de Hebronitis Hasabias, et fratres ejus viri fortissimi, mille septingenti praeerant Israeli trans Jordanem contra occidentem, in cunctis operibus Domini, et in ministerium regis.
31 Hebronitarum autem princeps fuit Jeria secundum familias et cognationes eorum. Quadragesimo anno regni David recensiti sunt, et inventi sunt viri fortissimi in Jazer Galaad,
32 fratresque ejus robustioris aetatis, duo millia septingenti principes familiarum. Praeposuit autem eos David rex Rubenitis, et Gadditis, et dimidiae tribui Manasse, in omne ministerium Dei et regis.

The Gatekeepers
26 The divisions of the gatekeepers:(P)
From the Korahites: Meshelemiah son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph.
2 Meshelemiah had sons:
Zechariah(Q) the firstborn,
Jediael the second,
Zebadiah the third,
Jathniel the fourth,
3 Elam the fifth,
Jehohanan the sixth
and Eliehoenai the seventh.
4 Obed-Edom also had sons:
Shemaiah the firstborn,
Jehozabad the second,
Joah the third,
Sakar the fourth,
Nethanel the fifth,
5 Ammiel the sixth,
Issachar the seventh
and Peullethai the eighth.
(For God had blessed Obed-Edom.(R))
6 Obed-Edom’s son Shemaiah also had sons, who were leaders in their father’s family because they were very capable men. 7 The sons of Shemaiah: Othni, Rephael, Obed and Elzabad; his relatives Elihu and Semakiah were also able men. 8 All these were descendants of Obed-Edom; they and their sons and their relatives were capable men with the strength to do the work—descendants of Obed-Edom, 62 in all.
9 Meshelemiah had sons and relatives, who were able men—18 in all.
10 Hosah the Merarite had sons: Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father had appointed him the first),(S) 11 Hilkiah the second, Tabaliah the third and Zechariah the fourth. The sons and relatives of Hosah were 13 in all.
12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, through their leaders, had duties for ministering(T) in the temple of the Lord, just as their relatives had. 13 Lots(U) were cast for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike.
14 The lot for the East Gate(V) fell to Shelemiah.[g] Then lots were cast for his son Zechariah,(W) a wise counselor, and the lot for the North Gate fell to him. 15 The lot for the South Gate fell to Obed-Edom,(X) and the lot for the storehouse fell to his sons. 16 The lots for the West Gate and the Shalleketh Gate on the upper road fell to Shuppim and Hosah.
Guard was alongside of guard: 17 There were six Levites a day on the east, four a day on the north, four a day on the south and two at a time at the storehouse. 18 As for the court[h] to the west, there were four at the road and two at the court[i] itself.
19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers who were descendants of Korah and Merari.(Y)
The Treasurers and Other Officials
20 Their fellow Levites(Z) were[j] in charge of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries for the dedicated things.(AA)
21 The descendants of Ladan, who were Gershonites through Ladan and who were heads of families belonging to Ladan the Gershonite,(AB) were Jehieli, 22 the sons of Jehieli, Zetham and his brother Joel. They were in charge of the treasuries(AC) of the temple of the Lord.
23 From the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites and the Uzzielites:(AD)
24 Shubael,(AE) a descendant of Gershom son of Moses, was the official in charge of the treasuries. 25 His relatives through Eliezer: Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zikri his son and Shelomith(AF) his son. 26 Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of all the treasuries for the things dedicated(AG) by King David, by the heads of families who were the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and by the other army commanders. 27 Some of the plunder taken in battle they dedicated for the repair of the temple of the Lord. 28 And everything dedicated by Samuel the seer(AH) and by Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner and Joab son of Zeruiah, and all the other dedicated things were in the care of Shelomith and his relatives.
29 From the Izharites: Kenaniah and his sons were assigned duties away from the temple, as officials and judges(AI) over Israel.
30 From the Hebronites: Hashabiah(AJ) and his relatives—seventeen hundred able men—were responsible in Israel west of the Jordan for all the work of the Lord and for the king’s service. 31 As for the Hebronites,(AK) Jeriah was their chief according to the genealogical records of their families. In the fortieth(AL) year of David’s reign a search was made in the records, and capable men among the Hebronites were found at Jazer in Gilead. 32 Jeriah had twenty-seven hundred relatives, who were able men and heads of families, and King David put them in charge of the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh for every matter pertaining to God and for the affairs of the king.
