The People in Jerusalem
9 The names of all the people of Israel were listed in their ·family histories [genealogical records], and those ·family histories [genealogical records] were put in the ·book [scroll] of the kings of Israel.
The people of Judah were captured and ·forced to go [exiled] to Babylon [2 Kin. 25:1–21; 2 Chr. 36:17–21], because ·they were not faithful to God [of their unfaithfulness/infidelity]. 2 The first people to come back and live in their own lands and towns were some Israelites, priests, Levites, and ·Temple [L house] servants.
3 People from the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh lived in Jerusalem. This is a list of those people.
4 There was Uthai son of Ammihud. (Ammihud was Omri’s son. Omri was Imri’s son. Imri was Bani’s son. Bani was a descendant of Perez, and Perez was Judah’s son.)
5 Of the Shilonite people there were Asaiah and his sons. Asaiah was the ·oldest son [firstborn] in his family.
6 Of the Zerahite people there were Jeuel and other relatives of Zerah. There were six hundred ninety ·of them [or families] in all.
7 From the ·tribe [L sons] of Benjamin there was Sallu son of Meshullam. (Meshullam was Hodaviah’s son, and Hodaviah was Hassenuah’s son.) 8 There was also Ibneiah son of Jeroham and Elah son of Uzzi. (Uzzi was Micri’s son.) And there was Meshullam son of Shephatiah. (Shephatiah was Reuel’s son, and Reuel was Ibnijah’s son.) 9 The ·family history [genealogical record] of Benjamin lists nine hundred fifty-six ·people [or families] living in Jerusalem, and all these were leaders of their ·families [clans].
10 Of the priests there were Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, Jakin, and 11 Azariah son of Hilkiah. (Hilkiah was Meshullam’s son. Meshullam was Zadok’s son. Zadok was Meraioth’s son. Meraioth was Ahitub’s son. Ahitub was the officer ·responsible for [in charge of] the ·Temple [L house] of God.) 12 Also there was Adaiah son of Jeroham. (Jeroham was Pashhur’s son, and Pashhur was Malkijah’s son.) And there was Maasai son of Adiel. (Adiel was Jahzerah’s son. Jahzerah was Meshullam’s son. Meshullam was Meshillemith’s son, and Meshillemith was Immer’s son.) 13 There were one thousand seven hundred sixty priests. They were leaders of their ·families [clans], and they were ·responsible [capable] for serving in the ·Temple [L house] of God.
14 Of the Levites there was Shemaiah son of Hasshub. (Hasshub was Azrikam’s son, and Azrikam was Hashabiah’s son. Hashabiah was ·from the family [a descendant; L of the sons of] of Merari.) 15 There were also Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, and Mattaniah son of Mica. (Mica was Zicri’s son, and Zicri was Asaph’s son.) 16 There was also Obadiah son of Shemaiah. (Shemaiah was Galal’s son, and Galal was Jeduthun’s son.) And there was Berekiah son of Asa. (Asa was the son of Elkanah, who lived in the ·villages [area] of the Netophathites.)
17 Of the gatekeepers there were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their relatives. Shallum was ·their leader [the chief]. 18 These gatekeepers ·from [for] the ·tribe [camp] of Levi ·still stand [or previously stood] next to the King’s Gate on the east side of the city. 19 Shallum was Kore’s son. Kore was Ebiasaph’s son, and Ebiasaph was Korah’s son. Shallum and his relatives from the ·family [clan] of Korah were gatekeepers and were ·responsible for [in charge of] guarding the ·gates of the Temple [L threshold of the tent/sanctuary/Tabernacle]. Their ancestors had also been ·responsible for [in charge of] guarding the entrance to the ·Temple [camp; dwelling] of the Lord. 20 In the past Phinehas, Eleazar’s son, was ·in charge of the [the leader of the] gatekeepers, and the Lord was with Phinehas. 21 Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was the gatekeeper at the entrance to the ·Temple [tent of meeting; Tabernacle].
22 In all, two hundred twelve men were chosen ·to guard the gates [L as gatekeepers at the thresholds], and their names were written in their ·family histories [genalogical records] in their villages. David and Samuel the ·seer [prophet] chose these men because they were ·dependable [trustworthy]. 23 The gatekeepers and their descendants ·had to guard [were in charge of] the gates of the ·Temple [L house] of the Lord when it was a tent. 24 There were gatekeepers on all four sides of the ·Temple [L house]: east, west, north, and south. 25 The gatekeepers’ relatives who lived in the villages had to come and help them at times. ·Each time they came they helped the gatekeepers for [or They came in every] seven days. 26 Because they were ·dependable [trustworthy], four gatekeepers were made the leaders of all the gatekeepers. They were Levites, and they were ·responsible for [in charge of] the ·rooms [storerooms] and ·treasures [treasuries] in the ·Temple [L house] of God. 27 They stayed up all night guarding the ·Temple [L house] of God because that was their responsibility, and they opened it every morning.
28 Some of the gatekeepers were ·responsible for [in charge of] the utensils ·used in the Temple services [L of service]. They counted these utensils when people took them out and when they brought them back. 29 Other gatekeepers were chosen to take care of the furniture and utensils in the ·Holy Place [sanctuary]. They also took care of the flour, wine, oil, ·incense [frankincense], and spices, 30 but ·some of [L sons of] the priests took care of ·mixing [blending] the spices. 31 There was a Levite named Mattithiah who was ·dependable and had the job of [entrusted with] baking the ·bread used for the offerings [flat/unleaven bread; Ex. 25:30; Lev. 24:5–6]. He was the ·first son [firstborn] of Shallum, ·who was from the family of Korah [the Korahite]. 32 Some of ·the gatekeepers [their relatives] from the Kohath ·family [clan] had the job of preparing the ·special bread that was put on the table [T showbread] every Sabbath day.
33 Some of the Levites were ·musicians in the Temple [singers]. The leaders of these ·families [clans] stayed in the ·rooms of the Temple [chambers]. Since they were on duty day and night, they did not do other ·work in the Temple [service].
34 These are the leaders of the Levite ·families [clans]. Their names were listed in their ·family histories [genealogical records], and they lived in Jerusalem.

La Bible du Semeur
Les habitants de Jérusalem après le retour de l’exil
9 Tout Israël a été recensé et inscrit dans les Annales des rois d’Israël[a]. La population de Juda fut déportée à Babylone, à cause de ses infidélités. 2 Les premiers à s’établir de nouveau dans leurs propriétés et dans leurs villes respectives, furent des Israélites, des prêtres, des lévites, et desservants[b] du Temple.
3 De plus, des gens des tribus de Juda, de Benjamin, d’Ephraïm et de Manassé s’établirent à Jérusalem : 4 Outaï, fils d’Ammihoud, ayant pour ascendants Omri, Imri, Bani, du lignage de Pérets, fils de Juda. 5 Parmi les Shilonites, il y avait Asaya, le premier-né et ses fils. 6 Des descendants de Zérah, il y avait Yeouel. Les membres de la tribu de Juda installés à Jérusalem étaient au nombre de 690. 7 De la tribu de Benjamin, il y avait Sallou, fils de Meshoullam, qui avait pour ascendants : Hodavia et Hassenoua ; 8 Yibneya, fils de Yeroham ; Ela, fils d’Ouzzi, et petit-fils de Mikri ; Meshoullam, fils de Shephatia et petit-fils de Reouel, le fils de Yibniya.
9 Les membres de la tribu de Benjamin installés à Jérusalem étaient au nombre de 956 et tous ces hommes étaient des chefs de groupe familial dans leur groupe familial.
10 Parmi les prêtres, il y avait : Yedaeya, Yehoyarib, Yakîn, 11 Azaria, fils de Hilqiya, qui avait pour ascendants : Meshoullam, Tsadoq, Merayoth, Ahitoub, responsable en chef du temple de Dieu ; 12 il y avait aussi Adaya, fils de Yeroham, qui avait pour ascendants Pashhour et Malkiya ; il y avait Maesaï, fils d’Adiel, dont les ascendants étaient Yahzéra, Meshoullam, Meshillémith et Immer. 13 Avec les autres prêtres, chefs de leur groupe familial, ils étaient au nombre de 1 760 hommes forts et valeureux affectés au service du temple de Dieu.
14 Parmi les lévites : Shemaya, fils de Hashoub, descendant d’Azriqam, Hashabia du lignage de Merari ; 15 il y avait aussi Baqbaqar, Héresh, Galal, Mattania, fils de Michée, petit-fils de Zikri, et descendant d’Asaph. 16 Il y avait Abdias, fils de Shemaya, descendant de Galal et Yedoutoun ; il y avait Bérékia, fils d’Asa et petit-fils d’Elqana, qui habitait dans les villages des Netophatites[c]. 17 Il y avait encore des portiers : Shalloum, Aqqoub, Talmôn, Ahimân et leurs frères. Shalloum en était le chef. 18 Et, jusqu’à présent, ses descendants surveillent l’entrée orientale du Temple appelée la porte du Roi. Ce sont là les portiers du camp des lévites. 19 Shalloum, fils de Qoré, descendant d’Ebyasaph, et de Qoré, ainsi que les autres membres du groupe familial des Qoréites, remplissaient les fonctions de gardiens de l’entrée de la tente de la Rencontre, comme leurs ancêtres avaient gardé l’entrée du camp de l’Eternel. 20 Phinéas, fils d’Eléazar, avait été autrefois leur chef car l’Eternel était avec lui.
21 Zacharie, fils de Meshélémia, était aussi portier à l’entrée de la tente de la Rencontre. 22 Ils étaient en tout 212 qui avaient été choisis comme portiers des entrées et ils avaient été recensés d’après leurs villages d’origine. David et Samuel le prophète les avaient établis dans leur fonction de façon permanente. 23 Eux et leurs descendants ont donc pour fonction de surveiller les portes du sanctuaire de l’Eternel, c’est-à-dire du sanctuaire de la tente. 24 Il y avait des portiers des quatre côtés : à l’est, à l’ouest, au nord et au sud. 25 D’autres portiers, qui demeuraient dans leurs villages respectifs, devaient de temps à autre venir auprès d’eux pendant sept jours. 26 Cependant, ces quatre portiers principaux étaient en fonction de façon permanente ; c’étaient des lévites et ils avaient la responsabilité des salles et des trésors du sanctuaire de Dieu. 27 Ils passaient la nuit dans les environs du sanctuaire de Dieu, puisqu’ils en avaient la garde et qu’ils devaient en ouvrir les portes chaque matin[d].
28 Certains lévites avaient la responsabilité des ustensiles du service : ils les comptaient lorsqu’on les emportait et lorsqu’on les rapportait. 29 D’autres étaient désignés pour veiller sur les ustensiles, y compris les ustensiles du sanctuaire, et sur la fleur de farine, le vin, l’huile, l’encens et les aromates. 30 Mais c’étaient des membres des familles sacerdotales qui composaient les parfums aromatiques. 31 Mattitia, l’un des lévites, fils aîné de Shalloum le Qoréite, était responsable de la fabrication des gâteaux cuits à la poêle. 32 D’autres lévites, faisant partie des Qehatites, avaient la responsabilité de préparer chaque jour de repos les pains devant être exposés devant l’Eternel.
33 Les chefs de groupe familial des lévites affectés au chant avaient leurs chambres ; ils étaient dispensés de toute autre tâche, parce qu’ils étaient de service jour et nuit. 34 Ce sont là des chefs de groupe familial des lévites chacun dans sa génération. Ils habitaient à Jérusalem.
La famille de Saül(A)
35 Le père de Gabaon[e], Yeïel, habitait à Gabaon. Sa femme s’appelait Maaka. 36 Abdôn fut son fils premier-né, puis vinrent Tsour, Qish, Baal, Ner, Nadab, 37 Guedor, Ahyo, Zacharie et Miqloth.
38 Miqloth eut pour fils Shimeam. Ces derniers habitaient eux aussi à Jérusalem avec ceux qui leur étaient apparentés. 39 Ner eut pour fils Qish, qui eut pour fils Saül ; les fils de Saül furent Jonathan, Malkishoua, Abinadab et Eshbaal. 40 Jonathan eut pour fils Merib-Baal, qui eut pour fils Michée. 41 Fils de Michée : Pitôn, Mélek et Tahréa[f]. 42 Ahaz eut pour fils Yaera[g] qui eut pour fils : Alémeth, Azmaveth et Zimri. Voici les descendants de Zimri en ligne directe : Motsa, 43 Binea, Rephaya, Eleasa, Atsel. 44 Atsel eut six fils, dont voici les noms : Azriqam, Bokrou, Ismaël, Shearia, Abdias et Hanân. Tels étaient les fils d’Atsel.

1 Chronicles 9
King James Version
9 So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they were written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, who were carried away to Babylon for their transgression.
2 Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their cities were, the Israelites, the priests, Levites, and the Nethinims.
3 And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and Manasseh;
4 Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the children of Pharez the son of Judah.
5 And of the Shilonites; Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons.
6 And of the sons of Zerah; Jeuel, and their brethren, six hundred and ninety.
7 And of the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah,
8 And Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephathiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah;
9 And their brethren, according to their generations, nine hundred and fifty and six. All these men were chief of the fathers in the house of their fathers.
10 And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin,
11 And Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God;
12 And Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasiai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer;
13 And their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
14 And of the Levites; Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;
15 And Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph;
16 And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites.
17 And the porters were, Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum was the chief;
18 Who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward: they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi.
19 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the host of the Lord, were keepers of the entry.
20 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the Lord was with him.
21 And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
22 All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office.
23 So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the Lord, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by wards.
24 In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.
25 And their brethren, which were in their villages, were to come after seven days from time to time with them.
26 For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
27 And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them.
28 And certain of them had the charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by tale.
29 Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
30 And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices.
31 And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were made in the pans.
32 And other of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath.
33 And these are the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites, who remaining in the chambers were free: for they were employed in that work day and night.
34 These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.
35 And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name was Maachah:
36 And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab.
37 And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.
38 And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, over against their brethren.
39 And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.
40 And the son of Jonathan was Meribbaal: and Meribbaal begat Micah.
41 And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, and Ahaz.
42 And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;
43 And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son.
44 And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan: these were the sons of Azel.
1 Chronicles 9
New King James Version
Priests and Levites in Jerusalem
9 So (A)all Israel was [a]recorded by genealogies, and indeed, they were inscribed in the book of the kings of Israel. But Judah was carried away captive to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness. 2 (B)And the first inhabitants who dwelt in their possessions in their cities were Israelites, priests, Levites, and (C)the Nethinim.
Dwellers in Jerusalem
3 Now in (D)Jerusalem the children of Judah dwelt, and some of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim and Manasseh: 4 Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the descendants of Perez, the son of Judah. 5 Of the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn and his sons. 6 Of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel, and their brethren—six hundred and ninety. 7 Of the sons of Benjamin: Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah; 8 Ibneiah the son of Jeroham; Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri; Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah; 9 and their brethren, according to their generations—nine hundred and fifty-six. All these men were heads of a father’s house in their fathers’ houses.
The Priests at Jerusalem
10 (E)Of the priests: Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, and Jachin; 11 [b]Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the (F)officer over the house of God; 12 Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah; Maasai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer; 13 and their brethren, heads of their fathers’ houses—one thousand seven hundred and sixty. They were [c]very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
The Levites at Jerusalem
14 Of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari; 15 Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of (G)Zichri, the son of Asaph; 16 (H)Obadiah the son of (I)Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun; and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.
The Levite Gatekeepers
17 And the gatekeepers were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their brethren. Shallum was the chief. 18 Until then they had been gatekeepers for the camps of the children of Levi at the King’s Gate on the east.
19 Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, from his father’s house, the Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, [d]gatekeepers of the tabernacle. Their fathers had been keepers of the entrance to the camp of the Lord. 20 And (J)Phinehas the son of Eleazar had been the officer over them in time past; the Lord was with him. 21 (K)Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was [e]keeper of the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
22 All those chosen as gatekeepers were two hundred and twelve. (L)They were recorded by their genealogy, in their villages. David and Samuel (M)the seer had appointed them to their trusted office. 23 So they and their children were in charge of the gates of the house of the Lord, the house of the tabernacle, by assignment. 24 The gatekeepers were assigned to the four directions: the east, west, north, and south. 25 And their brethren in their villages had to come with them from time to time (N)for seven days. 26 For in this trusted office were four chief gatekeepers; they were Levites. And they had charge over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God. 27 And they lodged all around the house of God because [f]they had the (O)responsibility, and they were in charge of opening it every morning.
Other Levite Responsibilities
28 Now some of them were in charge of the serving vessels, for they brought them in and took them out by count. 29 Some of them were appointed over the furnishings and over all the implements of the sanctuary, and over the (P)fine flour and the wine and the oil and the incense and the spices. 30 And some of the sons of the priests made (Q)the ointment of the spices.
31 Mattithiah of the Levites, the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the trusted office (R)over the things that were baked in the pans. 32 And some of their brethren of the sons of the Kohathites (S)were in charge of preparing the showbread for every Sabbath.
33 These are (T)the singers, heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites, who lodged in the chambers, and were free from other duties; for they were employed in that work day and night. 34 These heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites were heads throughout their generations. They dwelt at Jerusalem.
The Family of King Saul
35 Jeiel the father of Gibeon, whose wife’s name was (U)Maacah, dwelt at Gibeon. 36 His firstborn son was Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab, 37 Gedor, Ahio, [g]Zechariah, and Mikloth. 38 And Mikloth begot [h]Shimeam. They also dwelt alongside their relatives in Jerusalem, with their brethren. 39 (V)Ner begot Kish, Kish begot Saul, and Saul begot Jonathan, Malchishua, Abinadab, and Esh-Baal. 40 The son of Jonathan was Merib-Baal, and Merib-Baal begot Micah. 41 The sons of Micah were Pithon, Melech, [i]Tahrea, (W)and[j] Ahaz. 42 And Ahaz begot [k]Jarah; Jarah begot Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begot Moza; 43 Moza begot Binea, [l]Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, and Azel his son.
44 And Azel had six sons whose names were these: Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan; these were the sons of Azel.
