1 Chronicles 9
Revised Geneva Translation
9 Thus, all Israel were listed by their genealogies. And behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and of Judah. And they were carried away to Babel for their transgression.
2 And the chief inhabitants, who dwelt in their own possessions, in their own cities, were Israel, the Priests, the Levites, and the Nethinim.
3 And some of the children of Judah dwelt in Jerusalem, and some of the children of Benjamin, and some of the children of Ephraim, and Manasseh
4 and Uthai, the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the children of Perez, the son of Judah,
5 and some of Shiloni (Asaiah the eldest and his sons),
6 and some the sons of Zerah (Jeuel and their brethren). In all, six hundred ninety.
7 And of the sons of Benjamin were Sallu (the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah)
8 and Ibneiah (the son of Jeroham) and Elah (the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri) and Meshullam (the son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah).
9 And their brethren, according to their generations, were nine hundred fifty-six. All these men were chief fathers in the households of their fathers.
10 And from the priests came 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 chief of the House of God)
12 and Adaiah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah, and 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, the chief of the households of their fathers, were one thousand seven hundred sixty valiant men, for the work of the service of the House of God.
14 And from the Levites came Shemaiah, the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari,

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, who dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites.
17 And the gatekeepers were Shallum and Akkub and Talmon and Ahiman and their brethren. Shallum was the chief.
18 For up to this time, they had been gatekeepers of the children of Levi, by companies, at the king’s eastern gate.
19 And Shallum, the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph the son of Korah, and his brethren the Korahites (of the House of their father) were over the work and office, to keep the Gates of the Tabernacle. So, their families were over the camp of the LORD, keeping the entry.
20 And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, was their guide. And the LORD was with him.
21 Zechariah, the son of Meshelemiah, was the gatekeeper of the Door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
22 All these were chosen as keepers of the Gates (two hundred twelve), who were listed according to their genealogies by their towns. David and Samuel the Seer established these in their perpetual office.
23 So they and their children had the oversight of the Gates of the House of the LORD, even of the House of the Tabernacle, by wards.
24 The gatekeepers were in four quarters: East, West, North and South.
25 And from time to time, their brethren in their towns came with them for seven days.
26 For these four chief gatekeepers were in perpetual office, and were of the Levites, and had charge of the chambers, and of the treasures in the House of God.
27 And they lodged all around the House of God, because the charge was theirs. And they opened it every morning.
28 And certain of them had the rule of the ministering vessels. For they brought them in by tally and brought them out by tally.
29 Some of them were also appointed over the instruments, and over all the vessels of the Sanctuary, and of the flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the incense, and the sweet odors.
30 And certain sons of the priests made ointments of sweet odors.
31 And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the eldest son of Shallum the Korahite, was in charge of the things that were made in the frying pan.
32 And another of their brethren, of the sons of Kohath, had oversight of the Showbread, to prepare it every Sabbath.
33 And these are the singers, the chief fathers of the Levites, who dwelt in the chambers and had no other duties. For they had to work in that business day and night.
34 These were the chief fathers of the Levites, according to their generations, and the principal who dwelt in Jerusalem.
35 And the father of Gibeon, Jeiel, dwelt in Gibeon. And the name of his wife was Maachah.
36 And his eldest son was 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. Also, they dwelt with their brethren in Jerusalem, near their brethren.
39 And Ner begat Kish. And Kish begat Saul. And Saul begat Jonathan and Malchishua and Abinadab and Esh-Baal.
