  • 1 Chr 9:14-44 : 14 And of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari. 15 And Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph. 16 And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites. 17 And the gatekeepers were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their brethren; Shallum was the chief. 18 They previously served in the king's gate to the east. They were gatekeepers for the camps of the Levites. 19 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren from his ancestral house, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gate of the tabernacle as their ancestors had been in charge of the camp of the LORD, keeping the entry. 20 Phinehas the son of Eleazar had been their leader, and the LORD was with him. 21 Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was the keeper of the door for the tent of meeting. 22 All those chosen to be gatekeepers in the gates were two hundred and twelve. They were registered by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer appointed in their set office. 23 They and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by divisions. 24 The gatekeepers were in four quarters: east, west, north, and south. 25 Their brethren in their villages were to come with them from time to time for seven days. 26 For these Levites, the four chief gatekeepers, had been appointed over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God. 27 They stayed around the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and they had the duty of opening it every morning. 28 Some of them were in charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by count. 29 Others were appointed to oversee the vessels, all the instruments of the sanctuary, the fine flour, the wine, the oil, the frankincense, and the spices. 30 Some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices. 31 Mattithiah, one of the Levites, the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with making the items in the pans. 32 Their brethren from the Kohathites were in charge of preparing the showbread every Sabbath. 33 These are the singers, ancestors of the Levites, who stayed in the chambers and were exempt from other duties because they were employed in that work day and night. 34 These chief ancestors of the Levites, chief throughout their generations, lived in Jerusalem. 35 In Gibeon lived the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name was Maachah. 36 His firstborn son was Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, and Nadab. 37 Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and Mikloth. 38 Mikloth became the father of Shimeam. They also lived with their brethren in Jerusalem opposite their brethren. 39 Ner became the father of Kish; Kish became the father of Saul; Saul became the father of Jonathan, Malchishua, Abinadab, and Eshbaal. 40 The son of Jonathan was Meribbaal, and Meribbaal became the father of Micah. 41 The sons of Micah were Pithon, Melech, Tahrea, and Ahaz. 42 Ahaz became the father of Jarah; Jarah became the father of Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri; Zimri became the father of Moza. 43 Moza became the father of Binea; Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son. 44 Azel had six sons, whose names are these: Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan: these were the sons of Azel.
