1 Chronicles 26:1-13 ▼

1 And for the divisions of the gates: the sons of the Corites were Mosellemia, of the sons of Asaph.

2 And Mosellemia's first-born son was Zacharias, the second Jadiel, the third Zabadia, the fourth Jenuel,

3 the fifth Jolam, the sixth Jonathan, the seventh Elionai, the eighth Abdedom.

4 And to Abdedom there were born sons, Samaias the first-born, Jozabath the second, Joath the third, Sachar the fourth, Nathanael the fifth,

5 Amiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Phelathi the eighth: for God blessed him.

6 And to Samaias his son were born the sons of his first-born, chiefs over the house of their father, for they were mighty.

7 The sons of Samai; Othni, and Raphael, and Obed, and Elzabath, and Achiud, mighty men, Heliu, and Sabachia, and Isbacom.

8 All these were of the sons of Abdedom, they and their sons and their brethren, doing mightily in service: in all sixty-two born to Abdedom.

9 And Mosellemia had eighteen sons and brethren, mighty men.

10 And to Osa of the sons of Merari there were born sons, keeping the dominion; though he was not the first-born, yet his father made him chief of the second division.

11 Chelcias the second, Tablai the third, Zacharias the fourth: all these were the sons and brethren of Osa, thirteen.

12 To these were assigned the divisions of the gates, to the chiefs of the mighty men the daily courses, even their brethren, to minister in the house of the Lord.

13 And they cast lots for the small as well as for the great, for the several gates, according to their families.
