One family was drawn for Eleazar and another for Ithamar. 7 The first lot fell to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, 8 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, 9 the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, 10 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah, 11 the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, 12 the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, 13 the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, 14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, 15 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez, 16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel, 17 the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul, 18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah. 19 These were their assigned duties for their service when they came into the house of the Lord, as prescribed by their father Aaron, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded him.

His brothers Elihu and Semachiah were also men of valor. 8 All these were descendants of Obed-Edom: they, their sons, and their brothers, able men with strength for the service—62 in total from Obed-Edom. 9 Meshelemiah had 18 sons and brothers who were men of valor. 10 Hosah, from the descendants of Merari, also had sons: Shimri the leader (though he was not the firstborn, his father appointed him as leader). 11 Hilkiah was the second, Tebaliah the third, and Zechariah the fourth. Altogether, Hosah had 13 sons and brothers. 12 These divisions of the gatekeepers were assigned to the leading men to have responsibilities beside their brothers, to serve in the house of the LORD. 13 They cast lots, young and old alike, for their families, for each gate. 14 The lot for the east gate fell to Shelemiah. Then they cast lots for Zechariah, his son—a wise counselor—and his lot came out for the north gate. 15 The lot for the south gate fell to Obed-Edom, and the responsibility for the storehouses went to his sons. 16 To Shuppim and Hosah fell the west gate, along with the Shallecheth Gate at the ascending road. Guard was set up opposite guard. 17 On the east side, there were six Levites; on the north side, four per day; on the south side, four per day; and at the storerooms, two by two. 18 For the Parbar to the west, there were four at the highway and two at the Parbar itself. 19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers, from the Korahite sons and the sons of Merari.
