          DASV: 1 Chronicles 9    

1 So all Israel was listed by genealogical records; they are written in the scroll of the kings of Israel. Judah was carried away into exile to Babylon for their unfaithfulness.
2 Now the first exiles to resettle their territory in their towns were some Israelites, priests, Levites, and temple servants.
3 In Jerusalem, some of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim and Manasseh resettled.
4 Uthai son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, from the descendants of Perez the son of Judah.
5 From the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn and his sons.
6 From the sons of Zerah: Jeuel. Their relatives, 690.
7 From the sons of Benjamin: Sallu son of Meshullam, son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah,
8 Ibneiah son of Jeroham, Elah son of Uzzi, son of Mikri, and Meshullam son of Shephatiah, son of Reuel, son of Ibnijah.
9 Their relatives, according to their genealogical records, 956. All these men were heads of ancestral clans by their fathers' houses.

10 From the priests: Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, Jachin,
11 Azariah son of Hilkiah, son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub, the head official of the house of God.
12 Adaiah son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, son of Malchijah, and Maasai son of Adiel, son of Jahzerah, son of Meshullam, son of Meshillemith, son of Immer;
13 Their relatives, heads of their ancestral clans, 1,760; competent men for the work of the service of the house of God.

14 The Levites: Shemaiah son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah, from the desendants of Merari;
15 Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, and Mattaniah son of Mica, son of Zikri, son of Asaph,
16 Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah son of Asa, son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.

17 The gatekeepers: Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their brothers (Shallum was the chief),
18 who before this served in the king's gate on the east. They were the gatekeepers for the camp of the Levites.
19 Shallum son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his brothers, of his ancestral clan, the Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, guardians of the thresholds of the tent, as their fathers had been over the camp of the LORD, guardians of the entrance.
20 Phinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them in former times, and the LORD was with him.
21 Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was the gatekeeper at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

22 All these who were chosen to be gatekeepers at the entrances were 212. These were listed in the genealogical records in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer appointed to their trusted office.
23 So they and their descendants had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, when the house was a tent.
24 The gatekeepers were stationed at the four sides--east, west, north, and south.
25 Their relatives in their villages came for a seven-day stint from time to time to serve with them;
26 for the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were in an office of trust over the chambers and treasuries in the house of God.
27 They would spend the night at their posts around the house of God, because it was assigned to them; and they were in charge of opening it every morning.
28 Some of them were in charge of the utensils of service; for they were to be counted when they were brought in and taken out.
29 Some of them also were appointed over the furniture, and over all the utensils of the sanctuary, and over the fine flour, wine, olive oil, incense, and spices.
30 Some of the sons of the priests helped prepare in the mixing of the spices.
31 Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, was in charge of baking the bread used in the offerings.
32 Some of their brothers, from the sons of the Kohathites, were over the sacred bread, to prepare it every Sabbath.

33 These are the singers, heads of ancestral clans of the Levites, who lived in the temple chambers and were free from other responsibilities; for they were on duty day and night.
34 These were heads of the ancestral clans of the Levites, as recorded in their genealogical records, chief men. They lived in Jerusalem.
35 Jeiel, the father of Gibeon, lived in Gibeon, his wife's name was Maacah.
36 His firstborn son was Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab,
37 Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and Mikloth.
38 Mikloth was the father of Shimeam. They also lived with their relatives in Jerusalem, with their relatives.
39 Ner was the father of Kish; and Kish was the father of Saul; and Saul was the father of Jonathan, Malki-shua, Abinadab, and Esh-baal.
40 The son of Jonathan: Merib-baal; Merib-baal was the father of Micah.
41 The sons of Micah: Pithon, Melech, Tahrea, and Ahaz.
42 Ahaz was the father of Jarah; and Jarah was the father of Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri was the father of Moza.
43 Moza was the father of Binea; and Rephaiah was his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son.
44 Azel had six sons, these are their names: Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan; these were the sons of Azel.
