The Reign of David

and they cause to fall lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for gate and gate.

And the lot falleth eastward to Shelemiah; and for Zechariah his son--a counsellor with understanding--they cause to fall lots, and his lot goeth out northward:

to Obed-Edom southward, and to his sons, the house of the gatherings;

to Shuppim and to Hosah to the west, with the gate Shallecheth, in the highway, the ascent, charge over-against charge;

to the east the Levites are six; to the north daily four, to the south daily four, and to the gatherings two by two,

at Parbar, to the west, are four at the highway, two at Parbar.

These are the courses of the gatekeepers, of the sons of the Korhite, and of the sons of Merari.

And of the Levites, Ahijah is over the treasures of the house of God, even for the treasures of the holy things.

Sons of Laadan: sons of the Gershonite, of Laadan, heads of the fathers of Laadan the Gershonite: Jehieli.

Sons of Jehieli: Zetham, and Joel his brother, over the treasures of the house of Jehovah,

for the Amramite, for the Izharite, for the Hebronite, for the Uzzielite.

And Shebuel son of Gershom, son of Moses, is president over the treasures.

And his brethren, of Eliezer, are Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son.

This Shelomith and his brethren are over all the treasures of the holy things, that David the king, and heads of the fathers, even heads of thousands, and of hundreds, and heads of the host, sanctified;

from the battles, even from the spoil they sanctified to strengthen the house of Jehovah;

and all that Samuel the seer, and Saul son of Kish, and Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah sanctified, every one sanctifying any thing--it is by the side of Shelomith and his brethren.

Of the Izharite, Chenaniah and his sons are for the outward work over Israel, for officers and for judges.

Of the Hebronite, Hashabiah and his brethren, sons of valour, a thousand and seven hundred, are over the inspection of Israel, beyond the Jordan westward, for all the work of Jehovah, and for the service of the king.

Of the Hebronite, Jerijah is the head, of the Hebronite, according to his generations, for the fathers--in the fortieth year of the reign of David they have been sought out, and there are found among them mighty ones of valour, in Jazer of Gilead--

and his brethren, sons of valour, two thousand and seven hundred, are heads of the fathers, and king David appointeth them over the Reubenite, and the Gadite, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh, for every matter of God and matter of the king.

And the sons of Israel, after their number, heads of the fathers, and princes of the thousands and of the hundreds, and their officers, those serving the king in any matter of the courses, that are coming in and going out month by month, throughout all months of the year-- are in each course twenty and four thousand.

Over the first course, for the first month, is Jashobeam son of Zabdiel, and on his course are twenty and four thousand;

of the sons of Perez is the head of all princes of the hosts for the first month.

And over the course of the second month is Dodai the Ahohite, and his course, and Mikloth is the president, and on his course are twenty and four thousand.

Head of the third host, for the third month, is Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the head priest, and on his course are twenty and four thousand.
