The First Book of Chronicles, starting at chapter 25
{25:1} Moreover, David and the captains of the army set apart for
the service certain of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of
Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with stringed instruments,
and with cymbals: and the number of those who did the work according
to their service was: {25:2} of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, and Joseph,
and Nethaniah, and Asharelah, the sons of Asaph, under the hand of
Asaph, who prophesied after the order of the king. {25:3} Of Jeduthun;
the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and
Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun with the
harp, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising the LORD. {25:4} Of
Heman; the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and
Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-Ezer,
Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, Mahazioth. {25:5} All these were the
sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to lift up the
horn. God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters. {25:6} All
these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of
the LORD, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps, for the
service of God's house; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the
order of the king. {25:7} The number of them, with their brothers who
were instructed in singing to the LORD, even all who were skillful,
was two hundred eighty-eight. {25:8} They cast lots for their offices,
all alike, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.
{25:9} Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph: the second to
Gedaliah; he and his brothers and sons were twelve: {25:10} the third
to Zaccur, his sons and his brothers, twelve: {25:11} the fourth to
Izri, his sons and his brothers, twelve: {25:12} the fifth to
Nethaniah, his sons and his brothers, twelve: {25:13} the sixth to
Bukkiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve: {25:14} the seventh to
Jesharelah, his sons and his brothers, twelve: {25:15} the eighth to
Jeshaiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve: {25:16} the ninth to
Mattaniah, his sons and his brothers, twelve: {25:17} the tenth to
Shimei, his sons and his brothers, twelve: {25:18} the eleventh to
Azarel, his sons and his brothers, twelve: {25:19} the twelfth to
Hashabiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve: {25:20} for the
thirteenth, Shubael, his sons and his brothers, twelve: {25:21} for
the fourteenth, Mattithiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve: {25:22}
for the fifteenth to Jeremoth, his sons and his brothers, twelve:
{25:23} for the sixteenth to Hananiah, his sons and his brothers,
twelve: {25:24} for the seventeenth to Joshbekashah, his sons and his
brothers, twelve: {25:25} for the eighteenth to Hanani, his sons and
his brothers, twelve: {25:26} for the nineteenth to Mallothi, his sons
and his brothers, twelve: {25:27} for the twentieth to Eliathah, his
sons and his brothers, twelve: {25:28} for the one and twentieth to
Hothir, his sons and his brothers, twelve: {25:29} for the two and
twentieth to Giddalti, his sons and his brothers, twelve: {25:30} for
the three and twentieth to Mahazioth, his sons and his brothers,
twelve: {25:31} for the four and twentieth to Romamti-Ezer, his sons
and his brothers, twelve.
{26:1} For the divisions of the doorkeepers: of the Korahites,
Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph. {26:2} Meshelemiah
had sons: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the
third, Jathniel the fourth, {26:3} Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the
sixth, Eliehoenai the seventh. {26:4} Obed-Edom had sons: Shemaiah the
firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth,
and Nethanel the fifth, {26:5} Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh,
Peullethai the eighth; for God blessed him. {26:6} Also to Shemaiah
his son were sons born, who ruled over the house of their father; for
they were mighty men of valor. {26:7} The sons of Shemaiah: Othni, and
Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brothers were valiant men, Elihu,
and Semachiah. {26:8} All these were of the sons of Obed-Edom: they
and their sons and their brothers, able men in strength for the
service; sixty-two of Obed-Edom. {26:9} Meshelemiah had sons and
brothers, valiant men, eighteen. {26:10} Also Hosah, of the children
of Merari, had sons: Shimri the chief, (for though he was not the
firstborn, yet his father made him chief), {26:11} Hilkiah the second,
Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brothers of
Hosah were thirteen. {26:12} Of these were the divisions of the
doorkeepers, even of the chief men, having offices like their
brothers, to minister in the house of the LORD. {26:13} They cast
lots, the small as well as the great, according to their fathers'
houses, for every gate. {26:14} The lot eastward fell to Shelemiah.
Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counselor, they cast lots; and his
lot came out northward. {26:15} To Obed-Edom southward; and to his
sons the storehouse. {26:16} To Shuppim and Hosah westward, by the
gate of Shallecheth, at the causeway that goes up, watch against
watch. {26:17} Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day,
southward four a day, and for the storehouse two and two. {26:18} For
Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar. {26:19}
These were the divisions of the doorkeepers; of the sons of the
Korahites, and of the sons of Merari. {26:20} Of the Levites, Ahijah
was over the treasures of God's house, and over the treasures of the
dedicated things. {26:21} The sons of Ladan, the sons of the
Gershonites belonging to Ladan, the heads of the fathers' households
belonging to Ladan the Gershonite: Jehieli. {26:22} The sons of
Jehieli: Zetham, and Joel his brother, over the treasures of the house
of the LORD. {26:23} Of the Amramites, of the Izharites, of the
Hebronites, of the Uzzielites: {26:24} and Shebuel the son of Gershom,
the son of Moses, was ruler over the treasures. {26:25} His brothers:
of Eliezer, Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son,
and Zichri his son, and Shelomoth his son. {26:26} This Shelomoth and
his brothers were over all the treasures of the dedicated things,
which David the king, and the heads of the fathers' households, the
captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the army,
had dedicated. {26:27} They dedicated some of the spoil won in battles
to repair the house of the LORD. {26:28} All that Samuel the seer, and
Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of
Zeruiah, had dedicated, whoever had dedicated anything, it was under
the hand of Shelomoth, and of his brothers. {26:29} Of the Izharites,
Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward business over Israel, for
officers and judges. {26:30} Of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his
brothers, men of valor, one thousand seven hundred, had the oversight
of Israel beyond the Jordan westward, for all the business of the
LORD, and for the service of the king. {26:31} Of the Hebronites was
Jerijah the chief, even of the Hebronites, according to their
generations by fathers' households. In the fortieth year of the reign
of David they were sought for, and there were found among them mighty
men of valor at Jazer of Gilead. {26:32} His brothers, men of valor,
were two thousand seven hundred, heads of fathers' households, whom
king David made overseers over the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and
the half-tribe of the Manassites, for every matter pertaining to God,
and for the affairs of the king.
{27:1} Now the children of Israel after their number, the heads of
fathers' households and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and
their officers who served the king, in any matter of the divisions
which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of
the year--of every division were twenty-four thousand. {27:2} Over the
first division for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel:
and in his division were twenty-four thousand. {27:3} He was of the
children of Perez, the chief of all the captains of the army for the
first month. {27:4} Over the division of the second month was Dodai
the Ahohite, and his division; and Mikloth the ruler: and in his
division were twenty-four thousand. {27:5} The third captain of the
army for the third month was Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada the priest,
chief: and in his division were twenty-four thousand. {27:6} This is
that Benaiah, who was the mighty man of the thirty, and over the
thirty: and of his division was Ammizabad his son. {27:7} The fourth
captain for the fourth month was Asahel the brother of Joab, and
Zebadiah his son after him: and in his division were twenty-four
thousand. {27:8} The fifth captain for this fifth month was Shamhuth
the Izrahite: and in his division were twenty-four thousand. {27:9}
The sixth captain for the sixth month was Ira the son of Ikkesh the
Tekoite: and in his division were twenty-four thousand. {27:10} The
seventh captain for the seventh month was Helez the Pelonite, of the
children of Ephraim: and in his division were twenty-four thousand.
{27:11} The eighth captain for the eighth month was Sibbecai the
Hushathite, of the Zerahites: and in his division were twenty-four
thousand. {27:12} The ninth captain for the ninth month was Abiezer
the Anathothite, of the Benjamites: and in his division were
twenty-four thousand. {27:13} The tenth captain for the tenth month
was Maharai the Netophathite, of the Zerahites: and in his division
were Twenty-four thousand. {27:14} The eleventh captain for the
eleventh month was Benaiah the Pirathonite, of the children of
Ephraim: and in his division were twenty-four thousand. {27:15} The
twelfth captain for the twelfth month was Heldai the Netophathite, of
Othniel: and in his division were twenty-four thousand. {27:16}
Furthermore over the tribes of Israel: of the Reubenites was Eliezer
the son of Zichri the ruler: of the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of
Maacah: {27:17} of Levi, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel: of Aaron, Zadok:
{27:18} of Judah, Elihu, one of the brothers of David: of Issachar,
Omri the son of Michael: {27:19} of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of
Obadiah: of Naphtali, Jeremoth the son of Azriel: {27:20} of the
children of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah: of the half-tribe of
Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah: {27:21} of the half-tribe of
Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah: of Benjamin, Jaasiel
the son of Abner: {27:22} of Dan, Azarel the son of Jeroham. These
were the captains of the tribes of Israel. {27:23} But David didn't
take the number of them from twenty years old and under, because the
LORD had said he would increase Israel like the stars of the sky.
{27:24} Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but didn't finish;
and there came wrath for this on Israel; neither was the number put
into the account in the chronicles of king David. {27:25} Over the
king's treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the treasures
in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the towers,
was Jonathan the son of Uzziah: {27:26} Over those who did the work of
the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub:
{27:27} and over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: and over the
increase of the vineyards for the winecellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite:
{27:28} and over the olive trees and the sycamore trees that were in
the lowland was Baal Hanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil
was Joash: {27:29} and over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shitrai
the Sharonite: and over the herds that were in the valleys was Shaphat
the son of Adlai: {27:30} and over the camels was Obil the Ishmaelite:
and over the donkeys was Jehdeiah the Meronothite: and over the flocks
was Jaziz the Hagrite. {27:31} All these were the rulers of the
substance which was king David's. {27:32} Also Jonathan, David's
uncle, was a counselor, a man of understanding, and a scribe: and
Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king's sons: {27:33}
Ahithophel was the king's counselor: and Hushai the Archite was the
king's friend: {27:34} and after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of
Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the captain of the king's army was Joab.
