1 Thus all Israel were numbered by their

written in the book of the kings of Israel
and of Judah, and they were carried
away to Babylon for their transgression.
2 And the chief inhabitants that dwelt in
their own possessions, and in their own
cities, even Israel the priests, the
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 Perez, the son of Judah.
5 And of Shiloni, Asaiah the eldest, and
his sons.
6 And the sons of Zerah, Jeuel, and their

of the sons of Benjamin, 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 nine hundred, fifty and six:
all these men were chief fathers in the
households 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

chief of the house of God, 12 And
Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of

13 And their brethren the chief of the

17 And the porters were Shallum, and
Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and
their brethren: Shallum was the chief.
18 For they were porters to this time by
companies of the children of Levi unto
the king's gate eastward.
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 host 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 porter of the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
22 All these were chosen for porters of
the gates, two hundred and twelve,
which were numbered according to their
genealogies by their towns. David
established these and Samuel the seer 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 porters were in four quarters
eastward, westward, northward and
southward.
25 And their brethren, which were in
their towns, came at seven days from
time to time with them.
26 For these four chief porters 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 lay round about the house of
God, because the
charge was theirs, and they caused it to
be opened every morning. 28 And
certain of them had the rule of the
ministering vessels: for they brought
them in by tale, and brought them out by
tale.
29 Some of them also were 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 of the sons of the priests
made ointments of sweet odors. 31 And
Mattithiah one of the Levites which was
the eldest son of Shallum the Korahite,
had the charge of the things that were
made in the frying pan. 32 And other of
their brethren the sons of Kohath had the
oversight of the showbread to prepare it
every Sabbath.
33 And these are the singers, the chief
fathers of the Levites, which dwelt in the
chambers, and had none other charge:
for they had to do in that business day
and night:
34 These were the chief fathers of the
Levites according to their generations,
and the principal which dwelt at
Jerusalem.
35 And in Gibeon dwelt the father of
Gibeon, Jeiel, 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: they
also dwelt with their brethren at
Jerusalem , even by 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 Merib-baal begat Mica. 41
And the sons of Mica were Pithon, and
Melech and Tahrea.
42 And Ahaz begat Jehoadah, and
Jehoadah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth,
and Zimri, and Zimri begat Moza.
43 And Moza begat Binea, whose son

and his son Azel.
44 And Azel had six sons, whose names
are these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ismael,
and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan:
these are the sons of Azel.
