1 Chronicles 9:22-44 ▼

22 All these who were chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds were 212. These were recorded by genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer established in their office of trust.

23 So they and their sons were over the gates of the house of Yahweh, even the house of the tent, as those who kept watch.

24 The gatekeepers were on the four sides, to the east, west, north, and south.

25 And their relatives in their villages were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them;

26 for the four chief gatekeepers who were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God.

27 And they spent the night all around the house of God, because the watch was committed to them; and they were over opening it morning by morning.

28 Now some of them were over the utensils of service, for they counted them when they brought them in and when they took them out.

29 Some of them also were appointed over the furniture and over all the utensils of the sanctuary and over the fine flour and the wine and the oil and the frankincense and the spices.

30 Some of the sons of the priests prepared the mixing of the spices.

31 And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the office of trust over the things which were baked in pans.

32 Some of their relatives of the sons of the Kohathites were over the showbread to prepare it every sabbath.

33 Now these are the singers, heads of fathers’ households of the Levites, who lived in the chambers of the temple free from other service; for they were over them in their work day and night.

34 These were heads of fathers’ households of the Levites according to their generations, the heads who lived in Jerusalem.

35 Now in Gibeon, Jeiel the father of Gibeon lived, and his wife’s name was Maacah,

36 and his firstborn son was Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab,

37 Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and Mikloth.

38 Mikloth became the father of Shimeam. And they also lived with their relatives in Jerusalem opposite their other relatives.

39 Ner became the father of Kish, and Kish became the father of Saul, and Saul became the father of Jonathan, Malchi-shua, Abinadab, and Eshbaal.

40 The son of Jonathan was Merib-baal, and Merib-baal became the father of Micah.

41 The sons of Micah were Pithon, Melech, Tahrea, and Ahaz.

42 Ahaz became the father of Jarah, and Jarah became the father of Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri became the father of Moza.

43 Moza became the father of Binea and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son.

44 Azel had six sons, and these were their names: Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan. These were the sons of Azel.
