{7:23} He went in to his wife, and she conceived, and bore a son, and

{9:1} So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and behold, they

inhabitants who lived in their possessions in their cities were
Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the Nethinim. {9:3} In Jerusalem

and Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of

Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brothers (Shallum was the
chief), {9:18} who previously served in the king's gate eastward: they
were the porters for the camp of the children of Levi. {9:19} Shallum
the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his
brothers, of his father's house, the Korahites, were over the work of
the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent: and their fathers

Phinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them in time past, and the
LORD was with him. {9:21} Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter
of the door of the Tent of Meeting. {9:22} All these who were chosen
to be porters in the thresholds were two hundred and twelve. These
were reckoned by genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel
the seer ordained in their office of trust. {9:23} So they and their
children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, even
the house of the tent, by wards. {9:24} On the four sides were the
porters, toward the east, west, north, and south. {9:25} Their
brothers, in their villages, were to come in every seven days from
time to time to be with them: {9:26} for the four chief porters, who
were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the rooms and
over the treasuries in God's house. {9:27} They lodged around God's
house, because that duty was on them; and to them pertained its
opening morning by morning. {9:28} Certain of them were in charge of
the vessels of service; for by count were these brought in and by
count were these taken out. {9:29} Some of them also were appointed
over the furniture, and over all the vessels of the sanctuary, and
over the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense,
and the spices. {9:30} Some of the sons of the priests prepared the
confection of the spices. {9:31} Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who
was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the office of trust
over the things that were baked in pans. {9:32} Some of their
brothers, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the show bread, to
prepare it every Sabbath. {9:33} These are the singers, heads of
fathers' households of the Levites, who lived in the rooms and were
free from other service; for they were employed in their work day and
night. {9:34} These were heads of fathers' households of the Levites,
throughout their generations, chief men: these lived at Jerusalem.
{9:35} In Gibeon there lived the father of Gibeon, Jeiel, whose wife's
name was Maacah: {9:36} and his firstborn son Abdon, and Zur, and
Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab, {9:37} and Gedor, and Ahio, and
Zechariah, and Mikloth. {9:38} Mikloth became the father of Shimeam.
They also lived with their brothers in Jerusalem, over against their
brothers. {9:39} Ner became the father of Kish; and Kish became the
father of Saul; and Saul became the father of Jonathan, and
Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal. {9:40} The son of Jonathan was
Merib Baal; and Merib Baal became the father of Micah. {9:41} The sons
of Micah: Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, and Ahaz. {9:42} Ahaz became
the father of Jarah; and Jarah became the father of Alemeth, and
Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri became the father of Moza; {9:43} and
Moza became the father of Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his
son, Azel his son. {9:44} Azel had six sons, whose names are these:
Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan:
these were the sons of Azel.
