009:001

Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their cities were, the Israelites, the priests, Levites, and the Nethinims

009:002

And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and Manasseh

009:003

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

009:004

And of the Shilonites; Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons

009:005

And of the sons of Zerah; Jeuel, and their brethren, six hundred and ninety

009:006

And of the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah

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

009:008

009:009

And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin

009:010

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

009:012

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

009:013

And of the Levites; Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari

009:014

And Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph

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

009:016

And the porters were, Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum was the chief

009:017

Who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward: they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi

009:018

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

009:019

And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the LORD was with him

009:020

And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation

009:021

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

009:022

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

009:023

In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south

009:024

And their brethren, which were in their villages, were to come after seven days from time to time with them

009:025

For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God

009:026

And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them

009:027

And certain of them had the charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by tale

009:028

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

009:029

And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices

009:030

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

009:031

And other of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath

009:032

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

009:033

These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem

009:034

And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name was Maachah
