          DASV: 1 Chronicles 26    

1 The division of the gatekeepers: From the Korahites, Meshelemiah son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.
2 Meshelemiah had sons:
Zechariah the firstborn,
Jediael the second,
Zebadiah the third,
Jathniel the fourth,
3 Elam the fifth,
Jehohanan the sixth, and
Eliehoenai the seventh.
4 Obed-edom had sons:
Shemaiah the firstborn,
Jehozabad the second,
Joah the third,
Sacar the fourth,
Nethanel the fifth,
5 Ammiel the sixth,
Issachar the seventh, and
Peullethai the eighth; for God blessed Obed-edom.

6 His son Shemaiah had sons, who were leaders over the house of their father; for they were men of great ability.
7 The sons of Shemaiah: Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad. His brothers, Elihu and Semachiah, were capable men.
8 All these were descendants of Obed-edom; they and their sons and their relatives, were competent men capable of fulfilling their duties. There were 62 descendants of Obed-edom.
9 Meshelemiah had sons and relatives, capable men, eighteen in all.
10 Hosah, one of the descendants of Merari, had sons: Shimri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him chief),
11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brothers of Hosah were thirteen in all.
12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, corresponding to their chief men, were assigned duties just like their relatives, to minister in the house of the LORD.
13 They cast lots, both young and old, according to their ancestral families, for every gate.
14 The lot for east gate fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counselor, they cast lots and his lot came out for the north gate.
15 To Obed-edom the lot fell for the south gate; and his sons were assigned to the storehouse.
16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot for the west gate, along with the Shallecheth gate, by the road that goes up, each watch equally divided.
17 On the east there were six Levites posted every day, four on north, four on the south, and two at a time at the storehouse.
18 At the court to the west, four were posted on the road, and two at the court.
19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers; from the descedants of Korah, and from the descendants of Merari.

20 From the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasuries of the house of God, and over the treasuries of the dedicated gifts.
21 The descendants of Ladan, the descendants of the Gershonites belonging to Ladan, the heads of the ancestral families belonging to Ladan the Gershonite: Jehieli.
22 The sons of Jehieli: Zetham and his brother Joel, were over the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
23 Of the Amramites, Izharites, Hebronites, and Uzzielites:
24 Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was the supervisor of the treasuries.
25 His relatives: from Eliezer were Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zichri his son, and Shelomoth his son.
26 This Shelomoth and his brothers were in charge over all the treasuries of the dedicated gifts donated by David the king, the heads of the ancestral families, the commanders over the thousands and hundreds, and the commanders of the army.
27 Out of the spoil won in battles they dedicated some of it to repair the house of the LORD.
28 All that Samuel the seer, Saul the son of Kish, Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah had dedicated, whoever else had dedicated anything, it was under the care of Shelomoth, and of his relatives.
29 From the Izharites, Kenaniah and his sons were assigned duties outside the temple as officers and judges for Israel.
30 From the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brothers, 1,700 capable men, had the oversight of Israel west of the Jordan River, for all the work of the LORD, and for the service of the king.
31 From the Hebronites, Jerijah was the chief of the Hebronites according to their genealogical records by ancestral families. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they searched the records, and there were found among them capable men at Jazer of Gilead.
32 Jeriah had 2,700 capable relatives who were heads of ancestral families, whom king David appointed overseers over the Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of the Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God, and for the affairs of the king.
