1 Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites was Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph. |
2 And the sons of Meshelemiah were, Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth, |
3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh. |
4 Moreover the sons of Obed-edom were, Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth, |
5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth: for God blessed him. |
6 Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they were mighty men of valour. |
7 The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah. |
8 All these of the sons of Obed-edom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were threescore and two of Obed-edom. |
9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen. |
10 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;) |
11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen. |
12 Among these were the divisions of the porters, even among the chief men, having wards one against another, to minister in the house of the LORD. |
