1 Chronicles 9:1-19 ▼

1 And all Israel was reckoned, and behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. And Judah was removed to Babylon for their trespass.

2 And the first dwellers who were in their possessions in their cities of Israel were the priests, the Levites, and the Nethinim.

3 And in Jerusalem dwelt some of the sons of Judah, and some of the sons of Benjamin, and some of the sons of Ephraim and Manasseh:

4 Uthai son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani of Perez son of Judah.

5 And of the Shilonite: Asaiah the firstborn and his sons.

6 And of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel and their brothers, six hundred and ninety.

7 And of the sons of Benjamin: Sallu son of Meshullam, son of Hodaviah, son of Senuah;

8 and Ibneiah son of Jeroham; and Elah son of Uzzi, son of Michri; and Meshullam son of Shephatiah, son of Reuel, son of Ibnijah;

9 and their brothers according to their generations—nine hundred and fifty-six. All these men were heads of fathers according to the house of their fathers.

10 And of the priests: Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin;

11 and Azariah son of Hilkiah, son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub, leader in the house of God;

12 and Adaiah son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, son of Malchijah; and Maasai son of Adiel, son of Jahzerah, son of Meshullam, son of Meshillemoth, son of Immer;

13 and their brothers, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and sixty mighty of valor for the work of the service of the house of God.

14 And of the Levites: Shemaiah son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;

15 and Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah son of Micha, son of Zichri, son of Asaph;

16 and Obadiah son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun; and Berechiah son of Asa, son of Elkanah, who dwelt in the villages of the Netophathite.

17 And the gatekeepers: Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brothers. Shallum was the chief;

18 and until then at the Gate of the King on the east they had been the gatekeepers for the camps of the sons of Levi.

19 And Shallum son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his brothers from the house of his father, the Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tabernacle—and their fathers were over the camp of YHWH, keepers of the entrance.
