they are written in the book of the kings of Israel; and Judah was carried away
captive to Babylon because of their transgression
09:002
Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions
in their cities were, Israelites, the priests, the Levites, and the Nethinim
09:003
And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the
children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim and Manasseh
09:004
Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri,
the son of Bani, of the children of Perez the son of Judah

And of the Shilonites: Asaiah the first-born and his sons
09:006
And of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel, and their brethren, six
hundred and ninety
09:007
And of the sons of Benjamin: Sallu the son of Meshullam,

09:008
and Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the son of Uzzi,
the son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the

Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer

and their brethren, heads of their fathers' houses, a
thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very able men for the work of the
service of the house of G-d
09:014
And of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son
of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari
09:015
and Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of

09:016
and Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son

09:017
And the porters: Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and
Ahiman, and their brother Shallum the chief
09:018
who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward; they were
the porters for the camp of the children of Levi
09:019
And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son
of Korah, and his brethren, of his father's house, the Korahites, were over the
work of the service, keepers of the gates of the Tent; and their fathers had
been over the camp of HaShem, keepers of the entry
09:020
and Phinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them in
time past, HaShem being with him
09:021
Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of
the tent of meeting
09:022
All these that were chosen to be porters in the gates were
two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by genealogy in their villages, whom
David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office
09:023
So they and their children had the oversight of the gates
of the house of HaShem, even the house of the Tent, by wards
09:024
On the four sides were the porters, toward the east, west,
north, and south
09:025
And their brethren, in their villages, were to come in
every seven days from time to time to be with them
09:026
for the four chief porters were in a set office. These
were the Levites. They were also over the chambers and over the treasuries in
the house of G-d
09:027
And they lodged round about the house of G-d, because the
charge thereof was upon them, and to them pertained the opening thereof morning
by morning
09:028
And certain of them had charge of the vessels of service;
for by tale were they brought in and by tale were they taken out
09:029
Some of them also were appointed over the furniture, and
over all the holy vessels, and over the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil,
and the frankincense, and the spices
09:030
And some of the sons of the priests prepared the
confection of the spices
09:031

of Shallum the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were baked on
griddles
09:032
And some of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites,
were over the showbread, to prepare it every sabbath
09:033
And these are the singers, heads of fathers' houses of the
Levites, who dwelt in the chambers and were free from other service; for they
were employed in their work day and night
09:034
These were heads of fathers' houses of the Levites, by
their generations, chief men; these dwelt at Jerusalem
09:035
