And the divisions of the porters: of the Corites Meselemia, the son of Core, of the sons of Asaph.

The sons of Meselemia: Zacharias the firstborn, Jadihel the second, Zabadias the third, Jathanael the fourth,

3

Elam the fifth, Johanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh.

4

And the sons of Obededom, Semeias the firstborn, Jozabad the second, Joaha the third, Sachar the fourth, Nathanael the fifth,

5

Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Phollathi the eighth: for the Lord had blessed him.

6

And to Semei his son were born sons, heads of their families: for they were men of great valour.

7

The sons then of Semeias were Othni, and Raphael, and Obed, Elizabad, and his brethren most valiant men: and Eliu, and Samachias.

8

All these of the sons of Obededom: they, and their sons, and their brethren most able men for service, sixty-two of Obededom.

9

And the sons of Meselemia, and their brethren strong men, were eighteen.

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.)

11

Helcias the second, Tabelias the third, Zacharias the fourth: all these the sons, and the brethren of Hosa, were thirteen.
