2 Chronicles 8:14

NET Bible® (New English Translation)

As his father David had decreed, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests to do their assigned tasks, the Levitical orders to lead worship and help the priests with their daily tasks, and the divisions of the gatekeepers to serve at their assigned gates. This was what David the man of God had ordered.

These were Shimei’s sons– four in all. 11 Jahath was the oldest and Zizah the second oldest. Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were considered one family with one responsibility. 12 The sons of Kohath:Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel– four in all. 13 The sons of Amram:Aaron and Moses.Aaron and his descendants were chosen on a permanent basis to consecrate the most holy items, to offer sacrifices before the LORD, to serve him, and to praise his name. 14 The descendants of Moses the man of God were considered Levites. 15 The sons of Moses:Gershom and Eliezer. 16 The son of Gershom:Shebuel the oldest. 17 The son of Eliezer was Rehabiah, the oldest. Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah had many descendants. 18 The son of Izhar:Shelomith the oldest. 19 The sons of Hebron:Jeriah the oldest, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. 20 The sons of Uzziel:Micah the oldest, and Isshiah the second. 21 The sons of Merari:Mahli and Mushi.The sons of Mahli:Eleazar and Kish. 22 Eleazar died without having sons; he had only daughters. The sons of Kish, their cousins, married them. 23 The sons of Mushi:Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth– three in all. 24 These were the descendants of Levi according to their families, that is, the leaders of families as counted and individually listed who carried out assigned tasks in the LORD’s temple and were twenty years old and up. 25 For David said,“The LORD God of Israel has given his people rest and has permanently settled in Jerusalem. 26 So the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the items used in its service.” 27 According to David’s final instructions, the Levites twenty years old and up were counted. 28 Their job was to help Aaron’s descendants in the service of the LORD’s temple. They were to take care of the courtyards, the rooms, ceremonial purification of all holy items, and other jobs related to the service of God’s temple. 29 They also took care of the bread that is displayed, the flour for offerings, the unleavened wafers, the round cakes, the mixing, and all the measuring. 30 They also stood in a designated place every morning and offered thanks and praise to the LORD. They also did this in the evening 31 and whenever burnt sacrifices were offered to the LORD on the Sabbath and at new moon festivals and assemblies. A designated number were to serve before the LORD regularly in accordance with regulations. 32 They were in charge of the meeting tent and the holy place, and helped their relatives, the descendants of Aaron, in the service of the LORD’s temple. 1 David Organizes the Priests The divisions of Aaron’s descendants were as follows:The sons of Aaron:Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 2 Nadab and Abihu died before their father did; they had no sons. Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests. 3 David, Zadok(a descendant of Eleazar), and Ahimelech(a descendant of Ithamar) divided them into groups to carry out their assigned responsibilities. 4 The descendants of Eleazar had more leaders than the descendants of Ithamar, so they divided them up accordingly; the descendants of Eleazar had sixteen leaders, while the descendants of Ithamar had eight. 5 They divided them by lots, for there were officials of the holy place and officials designated by God among the descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar. 6 The scribe Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, wrote down their names before the king, the officials, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the leaders of the priestly and Levite families. One family was drawn by lot from Eleazar, and then the next from Ithamar. 7 The first lot went to Jehoiarib,the second to Jedaiah, 8 the third to Harim,the fourth to Seorim, 9 the fifth to Malkijah,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 Jakin,the twenty-second to Gamul, 18 the twenty-third to Delaiah,the twenty-fourth to Maaziah. 19 This was the order in which they carried out their assigned responsibilities when they entered the LORD’s temple, according to the regulations given them by their ancestor Aaron, just as the LORD God of Israel had instructed him. 20 Remaining Levites The rest of the Levites included: Shubael from the sons of Amram,Jehdeiah from the sons of Shubael, 21 the firstborn Isshiah from Rehabiah and the sons of Rehabiah, 22 Shelomoth from the Izharites,Jahath from the sons of Shelomoth. 23 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. 24 The son of Uzziel:Micah;Shamir from the sons of Micah. 25 The brother of Micah:Isshiah.Zechariah from the sons of Isshiah. 26 The sons of Merari:Mahli and Mushi.The son of Jaaziah:Beno. 27 The sons of Merari, from Jaaziah:Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri. 28 From Mahli:Eleazar, who had no sons. 29 From Kish:Jerahmeel. 30 The sons of Mushi:Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth.These were the Levites, listed by their families. 31 Just like their relatives, the descendants of Aaron, they also cast lots before King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, the leaders of families, the priests, and the Levites. The families of the oldest son cast lots along with those of the youngest. 1 David Organizes the Musicians David and the army officers selected some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun to prophesy as they played stringed instruments and cymbals. The following men were assigned this responsibility: 2 From the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asarelah. The sons of Asaph were supervised by Asaph, who prophesied under the king’s supervision. 3 From the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah– six in all, under supervision of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied as he played a harp, giving thanks and praise to the LORD. 4 From the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth. 5 All these were the sons of Heman, the king’s prophet. God had promised him these sons in order to make him prestigious. God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters. 6 All of these were under the supervision of their fathers; they were musicians in the LORD’s temple, playing cymbals and stringed instruments as they served in God’s temple. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the supervision of the king. 7 They and their relatives, all of them skilled and trained to make music to the LORD, numbered two hundred eighty-eight. 8 They cast lots to determine their responsibilities– oldest as well as youngest, teacher as well as student. 9 The first lot went to Asaph’s son Joseph and his relatives and sons– twelve in all, the second to Gedaliah and his relatives and sons– twelve in all, 10 the third to Zaccur and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 11 the fourth to Izri and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 12 the fifth to Nethaniah and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 13 the sixth to Bukkiah and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 14 the seventh to Jesharelah and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 15 the eighth to Jeshaiah and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 16 the ninth to Mattaniah and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 17 the tenth to Shimei and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 18 the eleventh to Azarel and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 19 the twelfth to Hashabiah and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 20 the thirteenth to Shubael and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 21 the fourteenth to Mattithiah and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 22 the fifteenth to Jerimoth and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 23 the sixteenth to Hananiah and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 24 the seventeenth to Joshbekashah and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 25 the eighteenth to Hanani and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 26 the nineteenth to Mallothi and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 27 the twentieth to Eliathah and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 28 the twenty-first to Hothir and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 29 the twenty-second to Giddalti and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 30 the twenty-third to Mahazioth and his sons and relatives– twelve in all, 31 the twenty-fourth to Romamti-Ezer and his sons and relatives– twelve in all. 1 Divisions of Gatekeepers The divisions of the gatekeepers:From the Korahites: Meshelemiah, son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph. 2 Meshelemiah’s sons:The firstborn Zechariah, the second Jediael, the third Zebadiah, the fourth Jathniel, 3 the fifth Elam, the sixth Jehohanan, and the seventh Elihoenai. 4 Obed-Edom’s sons:The firstborn Shemaiah, the second Jehozabad, the third Joah, the fourth Sakar, the fifth Nethanel, 5 the sixth Ammiel, the seventh Issachar, and the eighth Peullethai.(Indeed, God blessed Obed-Edom.) 6 His son Shemaiah also had sons, who were leaders of their families, for they were highly respected. 7 The sons of Shemaiah:Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad. His relatives Elihu and Semakiah were also respected. 8 All these were the descendants of Obed-Edom. They and their sons and relatives were respected men, capable of doing their responsibilities. There were sixty-two of them related to Obed-Edom. 9 Meshelemiah had sons and relatives who were respected– eighteen in all. 10 Hosah, one of the descendants of Merari, had sons:The firstborn Shimri(he was not actually the firstborn, but his father gave him that status), 11 the second Hilkiah, the third Tebaliah, and the fourth Zechariah. All of Hosah’s sons and relatives numbered thirteen. 12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, corresponding to their leaders, had assigned responsibilities, like their relatives, as they served in the LORD’s temple. 13 They cast lots, both young and old, according to their families, to determine which gate they would be responsible for. 14 The lot for the east gate went to Shelemiah. They then cast lots for his son Zechariah, a wise adviser, and the lot for the north gate went to him. 15 Obed-Edom was assigned the south gate, and his sons were assigned the storehouses. 16 Shuppim and Hosah were assigned the west gate, along with the Shalleketh gate on the upper road. One guard was adjacent to another. 17 Each day there were six Levites posted on the east, four on the north, and four on the south. At the storehouses they were posted in pairs. 18 At the court on the west there were four posted on the road and two at the court. 19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers who were descendants of Korah and Merari.
