1 Chronicles 26:10-32 ▼

10 The sonnes of Hosa of the children of Merari, Simri the chiefe, & though he was not the eldest, yet his father set him in the chiefest place:

11 Helkiahu the second, Tebaliahu the third, and Zechariahu the fourth: all the sonnes and brethren of Hosa were thirteene.

12 Among these was deuided the office of the portership, that they shoulde be auncient men, to wayte with their brethren, when they ministred in the house of the Lorde.

13 And they cast lottes betweene the great and small, after the housholde of their fathers, for euery gate.

14 And the lot on the eastsyde fell vpon Selemiahu: And for Zachariahu his sonne (which was a wyfe counsailour) they cast lottes, and his lot came out toward the north.

15 And Obed Edoms lot fell to the south: And for his sonnes fell the houses of Asuppim.

16 For Shuppim and Hosa toward the west, with the gate Shallecheth by the paued streate that goeth vpward, one watch being ouer against an other.

17 In the east were sixe Leuites, and toward the north foure a day, toward the south foure a day, and toward Asuppim two and two.

18 In Parbar toward the west two at the going vp, and two in Pharbar.

19 These are the deuisions of the porters among the sonnes of Koreh, & among the sonnes of Merari.

20 And of the Leuites, Ahiah had the ouersight of the treasures of the house of God, & of the treasures of the dedicate thinges.

22 The sonnes of Iehieli, Zetham, and Ioel his brother, which were ouer the treasures of the house of the Lorde.

23 Of the Amramites also and Izaharites, Hebronites, and Ozielites.

24 And Subael the sonne of Gersom the sonne of Moyses, was a ruler ouer the treasures.

25 And of his brethren the sonnes of Eliezer was Rahabiahu, whose sonne was Iesaiahu, whose sonne was Ioram, whose sonne was Zichri, whose sonne was Selomith.

27 Out of the spoyles wonne in battailes, they did dedicate to maynetayne the house of the Lorde.

28 And all that Samuel the sear, & Saul the sonne of Cis, and Abner the sonne of Ner, and Ioab the sonne of Zaruia, had dedicated, and whosoeuer had dedicated any thing, it was vnder the hand of Selomith and of his brethren.
