Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counselor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward. 15 To Obed-Edom southward; and to his sons, the house of Asuppim. 16 To Shuppim and Hosah, the lot came forth westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, guard opposite guard. 17 Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and toward Asuppim two by two. 18 At Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar. 19 These are the divisions of the gatekeepers among the sons of Kore and among the sons of Merari. 20 And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of the house of God and over the treasures of the dedicated things. 21 As concerning the sons of Ladan; the sons of the Gershonite Ladan, chief fathers, even of Ladan the Gershonite, were Jehieli. 22 The sons of Jehieli: Zetham, and Joel his brother, who were over the treasures of the house of the LORD. 23 Of the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites: 24 And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of the treasures. 25 And his brothers by Eliezer: Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son. 26 This Shelomith and his brothers were over all the treasures of the dedicated things which King David, and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the army had dedicated. 27 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the LORD. 28 And all that Samuel the seer, Saul the son of Kish, Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah had dedicated; and whoever had dedicated anything, it was under the hand of Shelomith, and of his brothers. 29 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were for the outside business over Israel, for officers and judges. 30 And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brothers, men of valor, one thousand seven hundred, were officers among them of Israel on this side of the Jordan westward, in all the business of the LORD, and in the service of the king. 31 Among the Hebronites was Jerijah the chief, according to the generations of his fathers. 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. 32 And his brothers, men of valor, were two thousand seven hundred chief fathers, whom King David made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God and affairs of the king.
