5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh and Peullethai the eighth; God had indeed blessed him.
6 Also to his son Shemaiah sons were born who ruled over the house of their father, for they were mighty men of valor.
7 The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed and Elzabad, whose brothers, Elihu and Semachiah, were valiant men.
8 All these were of the sons of Obed-edom; they and their sons and their relatives were able men with strength for the service, 62 * from Obed-edom.
9 Meshelemiah had sons and relatives, 18 * valiant men.
10 Also 1Hosah, one of the sons of Merari had sons: Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father made him first ),
11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth; all the sons and relatives of Hosah were 13 *.
12 To these divisions of the gatekeepers, the chief men, were given duties like their relatives to minister in the house of the LORD.
13 2They cast lots, the small and the great alike, according to their fathers' households, for every gate.
14 The lot to the east fell to Shelemiah. Then they cast lots for his son Zechariah, a counselor with insight, and his lot came out to the north.
15 For Obed-edom it fell to the south, and to his sons went the storehouse.
