4 And the sons of Obededom, Semeias the firstborn, Jozabad the second, Joaha the third, Sachar the fourth, Nathanael the fifth,	4 Obed-edom's sons: Shemaiah, the first-born, Jehozabad, a second son, Joah, the third, Sachar, the fourth, Nethanel, the fifth,
5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Phollathi the eighth: for the Lord had blessed him.	5 Ammiel, the sixth, Issachar, the seventh, Peullethai, the eighth, for God blessed him.
6 And to Semei his son were born sons, herds of their families: for they were men of great valour.	6 To his son Shemaiah were born sons who ruled over their family, for they were warriors.
7 The sons then of Semeias were Othni, and Raphael, and Obed, Elizabad, and his brethren most valiant men: and Eliu, and Samachias.	7 The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad; also his brethren who were men of might, Elihu and Semachiah.
8 All these of the sons of Obededom: they, and their sons, and their brethren most able men for service, sixty-two of Obededom.	8 All these were the sons of Obed-edom, who, together with their sons and their brethren, were mighty men, fit for the service. Of Obed-edom, sixty-two.
9 And the sons of Meselemia, and their brethren strong men, were eighteen.	9 Of Meshelemiah, eighteen sons and brethren, mighty men.
10 And of Hosa, that is, of the sons of Merari: Semri the chief, (for he had not a firstborn, and therefore his father made him chief.)	10 Hosah, a descendant of Merari, had these sons: Shimri, the chief (for though he was not the first-born, his father made him chief),
11 Helcias the second, Tabelias the third, Zacharias the fourth: all these the sons, and the brethren of Hosa, were thirteen.	11 Hilkiah, the second son, Tebaliah, the third, Zechariah, the fourth. All the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.
12 Among these were the divisions of the porters, so that the chiefs of the wards, as well as their brethren, always ministered in the house of the Lord.	12 To these classes of gatekeepers, under their chief men, were assigned watches in the service of the house of the LORD, for each group in the same way.
13 And they cast lots equally, both little and great, by their families for every one of the gates.	13 They cast lots for each gate, the small and the large families alike.
14 And the lot of the east fell to Selemias. But to his son Zacharias, a very wise and learned man, the north gate fell by lot.	14 When the lot was cast for the east side, it fell to Meshelemiah. Then they cast lots for his son Zechariah, a prudent counselor, and the north side fell to his lot.
15 And to Obededom and his sons that towards the south: in which part of the house was the council of the ancients.	15 To Obed-edom fell the south side, and to his sons the storehouse.
16 To Sephim, and Hosa towards the west, by the gate which leadeth to the way of the ascent: ward against ward.	16 To Hosah fell the west side with the Shallecheth gate at the ascending highway. For each family, watches were established.
17 Now towards the east were six Levites: and towards the north four a day: and towards the south likewise four a day: and where the council was, two and two.	17 On the east, six watched each day, on the north, four each day, on the south, four each day, and at the storehouse they were two and two;
18 In the cells also of the porters toward the west four in the way: and two at every cell.	18 as for the large building on the west, there were four at the highway and two at the large building.
19 These are the divisions of the porters of the sons of Core, and of Merari.	19 These were the classes of the gatekeepers, descendants of Kore and Merari.
20 Now Achias was over the treasures of the house of God, and the holy vessels.	20 Their brother Levites superintended the stores for the house of God and the stores of votive offerings.
21 The sons of Ledan, the sons of Gersonni: of Ledan were heads of the families, of Ledan, and Gersonni, Jehieli.	21 Among the descendants of Ladan the Gershonite, the family heads were descendants of Jehiel: the descendants of Jehiel,
22 The sons of Jehieli: Zathan and Joel, his brethren over the treasures of the house of the Lord,	22 Zetham and his brother Joel, who superintended the treasures of the house of the LORD.
23 With the Amramites, and Isaarites, and Hebronites, and Ozielites.	23 From the Amramites, Izharites, Hebronites, and Uzzielites,
24 And Subael the son of Gersom, the son of Moses, was chief over the treasures.	24 Shubael, son of Gershon, son of Moses, was chief superintendent over the treasures.
25 His brethren also, Eliezer, whose son Rohobia, and his son Isaias, and his son Joram, and his son Zechri, and his son Selemith.	25 His associate pertained to Eliezer, whose son was Rehabiah, whose son was Jeshaiah, whose son was Joram, whose son was Zichri, whose son was Shelomith.
26 Which Selemith and his brethren were over the treasures of the holy things, which king David, and the heads of families, and the captains over thousands and over hundreds, and the captains of the host had dedicated,	26 This Shelomith and his brethren superintended all the stores of the votive offerings dedicated by King David, the heads of the families, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the commanders of the army,
27 Out of the wars, and the spoils won in battles, which they had consecrated to the building and furniture of the temple of the Lord.	27 from the booty they had taken in the wars, for the enhancement of the house of the LORD.
28 And all these things that Samuel the seer and Saul the son of Cis, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Sarvia had sanctified: and whosoever had sanctified those things, they were under the hand of Selemith and his brethren.	28 Also, whatever Samuel the seer, Saul, son of Kish, Abner, son of Ner, Joab, son of Zeruiah, and all others had consecrated, was under the charge of Shelomith and his brethren.
29 But Chonenias and his sons were over the Isaarites, for the business abroad over Israel to teach them and judge them.	29 Among the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were in charge of Israel's civil affairs as officials and judges.
30 And of the Hebronites Hasabias, and his brethren most able men, a thousand seven hundred had the charge over Israel beyond the Jordan westward, in all the works of the Lord, and for the service of the king.	30 Among the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, one thousand seven hundred police officers, had the administration of Israel on the western side of the Jordan in all the work of the LORD and in the service of the king.
31 And the chief of the Hebronites was Jeria according to their families and kindreds. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were numbered, and there were found most valiant men in Jazer Galaad,	31 Among the Hebronites, Jerijah was their chief according to their family records. In the fortieth year of David's reign search was made, and there were found among them outstanding officers at Jazer of Gilead.
32 And his brethren of stronger age, two thousand seven hundred chiefs of families. And king David made them rulers over the Rubenites and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasses, for all the service of God, and the king.	32 His brethren were also police officers, two thousand seven hundred heads of families. King David appointed them to the administration of the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in everything pertaining to God and to the king.
