Chapter 9 |
| 1 |
So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they were written in
the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, who were carried away to Babylon for
their transgression. |
| 2 |
Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their cities were,
the Israelites, the priests, Levites, and the Nethinims. |
| 3 | And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children
of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and
Manasseh; |
| 4 | Uthai the son
of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the children
of Pharez the son of Judah. |
| 5 |
And of the Shilonites; Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons. |
| 6 | And of the sons of Zerah; Jeuel, and
their brethren, six hundred and ninety. |
| 7 | And of the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the son of Meshullam,
the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah, |
| 8 | And Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the son of Uzzi,
the son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephathiah, the son of Reuel, the
son of Ibnijah; |
| 9 | And
their brethren, according to their generations, nine hundred and fifty and six.
All these men were chief of the fathers in the house of their fathers. |
| 10 | And of the priests; Jedaiah,
and Jehoiarib, and Jachin, |
| 11
| And Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of
Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of
God; |
| 12 | And Adaiah the
son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasiai the son of
Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the
son of Immer; |
| 13 | And
their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven
hundred and threescore; very able men for the work of the service of the house
of God. |
| 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, and 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, that dwelt in the
villages of the Netophathites. |
| 17
| And the porters were, Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and
their brethren: Shallum was the chief; |
| 18 | Who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward: they
were porters in the companies of the children of Levi. |
| 19 | And Shallum the son of Kore, the son
of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father,
the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the
tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the host of the LORD, were keepers of
the entry. |
| 20 | And
Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the LORD
was with him. |
| 21 | And
Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation. |
| 22 | All
these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve.
These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel
the seer did ordain in their set office. |
| 23 | So they and their children had the oversight of the
gates of the house of the LORD, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by
wards. |
| 24 | In four
quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south. |
| 25 | And their brethren, which were
in their villages, were to come after seven days from time to time with
them. |
| 26 | For these
Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office, and were over the
chambers and treasuries of the house of God. |
| 27 | And they lodged round about the house of God, because
the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning pertained to
them. |
| 28 | And certain of
them had the charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in
and out by tale. |
| 29 | Some
of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of
the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the
frankincense, and the spices. |
| 30
| And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the
spices. |
| 31 | And
Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite,
had the set office over the things that were made in the pans. |
| 32 | And other of their brethren, of the
sons of the Kohathites, were over the shewbread, to prepare it every
sabbath. |
| 33 | And these
are the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites, who remaining in the
chambers were free: for they were employed in that work day and night. |
| 34 | These chief fathers of the
Levites were chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem. |
| 35 | And in Gibeon dwelt the
father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name was Maachah: |
| 36 | And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur,
and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab. |
| 37 | And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth. |
| 38 | And Mikloth begat
Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, over against
their brethren. |
| 39 | And
Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua,
and Abinadab, and Eshbaal. |
| 40
| And the son of Jonathan was Meribbaal: and Meribbaal begat Micah. |
| 41 | And the sons of Micah
were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, and Ahaz. |
|
42 | And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and
Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza; |
| 43 | And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his
son, Azel his son. |
| 44 |
And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael,
and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan: these were the sons of Azel. |
