17. And the porters[H7778]: Shallum[H7967], and Akkub[H6126], and Talmon[H2929], and Ahiman[H289], and their brethren[H251] (Shallum[H7967] was the chief[H7218]),
18. who hitherto waited in the king[H4428]'s gate[H8179] eastward[H4217]: they were the porters[H7778] for the camp[H4264] of the children[H1121] of Levi[H3878].
19. And Shallum[H7967] the son[H1121] of Kore[H6981], the son[H1121] of Ebiasaph[H43], the son[H1121] of Korah[H7141], and his brethren[H251], of his father[H1]'s house[H1004], the Korahites[H7145], were over the work[H4399] of the service[H5656], keepers[H8104] of the thresholds[H5592] of the tent[H168]: and their fathers[H1] had been over the camp[H4264] of Jehovah[H3068], keepers[H8104] of the entry[H3996].
20. And Phinehas[H6372] the son[H1121] of Eleazar[H499] was ruler[H5057] over them in time past[H6440], and Jehovah was with him[H3068].
21. 450[H2148] the son[H1121] of Meshelemiah[H4920] was porter[H7778] of the door[H6607] of the tent[H168] of meeting[H4150].
22. All these that were chosen[H1305] to be porters[H7778] in the thresholds[H5592] were two hundred[H3967] and twelve[H8147]. These were reckoned by genealogy[H3187] in their villages[H2691], whom[H1992] David[H1732] and Samuel[H8050] the seer[H7200] did ordain[H3245] in their office of trust[H530].
23. So they and their children[H1121] had the oversight of the gates[H8179] of the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068], even the house[H1004] of the tent[H168], by wards[H4931].
24. On the four[H702] sides[H7307] were the porters[H7778], toward the east[H4217], west[H3220], north[H6828], and south[H5045].
25. And their brethren[H251], in their villages[H2691], were to come[H935] in every seven[H7651] days[H3117] from time[H6256] to time to be with them[H6256]:
26. for the four[H702] chief[H1368] porters[H7778], who were Levites[H3881], were in an office[H530] of trust[H3957], and were over the chambers and over the treasuries[H214] in the house[H1004] of God[H430].
27. And they lodged[H3885] round about[H5439] the house[H1004] of God[H430], because the charge[H4931] thereof was upon them[H4668]; and to them pertained the opening thereof morning by morning[H1242].
28. And certain of[H5921] them had charge of[H5921] the vessels[H3627] of[H5921] service[H935]; for by count were these brought in and by count were these taken out[H3318].
29. Some of them also were appointed[H4487] over the furniture[H3627], and over all the vessels[H3627] of the sanctuary[H6944], and over the fine flour[H5560], and the wine[H3196], and the oil[H8081], and the frankincense[H3828], and the spices[H1314].
30. And some of the sons[H1121] of the priests[H3548] prepared[H7543] the confection[H4842] of the spices[H1314].
31. And Mattithiah[H4993], one of the Levites[H3881], who was the first-born[H1060] of Shallum[H7967] the Korahite[H7145], had the office[H530] of trust over the things that were baked[H4639] in pans[H2281].
32. And some of their brethren[H251], of the sons[H1121] of the Kohathites[H6956], were over the showbread[H3899], to prepare[H3559] it every sabbath[H7676].
33. And these are the singers[H7891], heads[H7218] of fathers[H1]' houses of the Levites[H3881], who dwelt in the chambers[H3957] and were free[H6362] from other service[H4399]; for they were employed in their work day[H3119] and night[H3915].
34. These were heads[H7218] of fathers[H1]' houses of the Levites[H3881], throughout their generations[H8435], chief[H7218] men[H3427]: these dwelt at Jerusalem[H3389].
35. And in Gibeon[H1391] there dwelt[H3427] the father[H1] of Gibeon[H1391], Jeiel[H3273], whose wife[H802]'s name[H8034] was Maacah[H4601]:
36. and his first-born[H1060] son[H1121] Abdon[H5658], and Zur[H6698], and Kish[H7027], and Baal[H1168], and Ner[H5369], and Nadab[H5070],

38. And Mikloth[H4732] begat[H3205] Shimeam[H8043]. And they also dwelt[H3427] with their brethren[H251] in Jerusalem[H3389], over against their brethren[H251].
39. And Ner[H5369] begat[H3205] Kish[H7027]; and Kish[H7027] begat[H3205] Saul[H7586]; and Saul[H7586] begat[H3205] Jonathan[H3083], and Malchi-shua[H4444], and Abinadab[H41], and Eshbaal[H792].
40. And the son[H1121] of Jonathan[H3083] was Merib-baal[H4807]; and Merib-baal[H4810] begat[H3205] Micah[H4318].
41. And the sons[H1121] of Micah[H4318]: Pithon[H6377], and Melech[H4429], and Tahrea[H8475], and Ahaz.
42. And Ahaz[H271] begat[H3205] Jarah[H3294]; and Jarah[H3294] begat[H3205] Alemeth[H5964], and Azmaveth[H5820], and Zimri[H2174]; and Zimri[H2174] begat[H3205] Moza[H4162];
43. and Moza[H4162] begat[H3205] Binea[H1150]; and Rephaiah[H7509] his son[H1121], Eleasah[H501] his son[H1121], Azel[H682] his son[H1121].
44. And Azel[H682] had six[H8337] sons[H1121], whose names[H8034] are these[H5840]: Azrikam, Bocheru[H1074], and Ishmael[H3458], and Sheariah[H8187], and Obadiah[H5662], and Hanan[H2605]: these were the sons[H1121] of Azel[H682].
