1 Chronicles 9

Common English Bible CEB

1 So all Israel was listed in the official records of Israel's kings. Judah was carried into exile in Babylon because of their unfaithfulness.

2 The first to resettle their property in their towns were the Israelite people, the priests, the Levites, and the temple servants.

3 Those settling in Jerusalem included some from Judah, some from Benjamin, and some from Ephraim and Manasseh:

4 Uthai son of Ammihud son of Omri son of Imri son of Bani from the family of Perez, Judah's son.

5 From the Shilonites: Asaiah the oldest son and his family.

6 From Zerah's family: Jeuel and their relatives—690 in all.

7 From Benjamin's family: Sallu son of Meshullam son of Hodaviah son of Senaah;

8 Ibneiah, Jeroham's son; Elah son of Uzzi son of Michri; Meshullam son of Shephatiah son of Reuel son of Ibnijah;

9 and their relatives in their line of descent—956 in all. All of these were heads of their households.

10 From the priests: Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, Jachin,

11 and Azariah son of Hilkiah son of Meshullam son of Zadok son of Meraioth son of Ahitub the leader of God's house;

12 Adaiah son of Jeroham son of Pashhur son of Malchijah; Maasai son of Adiel son of Jahzerah son of Meshullam son of Meshillemith son of Immer;

13 and their relatives, heads of their households, 1,760 capable men for the religious work of God's house.

14 From the Levites: Shemaiah son of Hasshub son of Azrikam son of Hashabiah, from Merari's family;

15 Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, and Mattaniah son of Mica son of Zichri son of Asaph;

16 Obadiah son of Shemaiah son of Galal son of Jeduthun; and Berechiah son of Asa son of Elkanah, who lived in the settlements of the Netophathites.

17 The gatekeepers: Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, and Ahiman. Their brother Shallum was the leader,

18 stationed until now in the King's Gate on the east side. These were the gatekeepers belonging to the Levites' camp.

19 Shallum, Kore's son, Ebiasaph's grandson, and Korah's great-grandson, and his relatives belonging to his household, the Korahites, served as gatekeepers at the tent's entrances, as their ancestors had been gatekeepers at the entrance to the LORD's camp.

20 Phinehas, Eleazar's son, the LORD be with him, was their leader in former times.

21 Zechariah, Meshelemiah's son, was gatekeeper at the meeting tent's entrance.

22 All those selected as gatekeepers at the entrances were two hundred twelve. They were listed in the family records by their settlements. David and Samuel the seer assigned them to their trusted position.

23 So they and their descendants were the gatekeepers guarding the LORD's house, that is, the tent.

24 The gatekeepers were on the four sides: east, west, north, and south.

25 Their relatives came in from their settlements, from time to time, to assist them for a period of seven days.

26 Due to their trustworthiness, the four master gatekeepers, who were Levites, were in charge of the rooms and the treasuries of God's house.

27 They would spend the night patrolling God's house since they had guard duty and were responsible for unlocking it every morning.

28 Some of them were responsible for the worship objects; they counted them when they were brought in and taken out.

29 Others were appointed over the furniture, the holy equipment, the flour, wine, oil, incense, and spices.

30 Some of the priests blended the ointment for the spices;

31 and Mattithiah, one of the Levites, the oldest son of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with baking the flat cakes.

32 Also some of their Kohathite relatives were responsible for preparing the stacks of bread for each Sabbath.

33 The singers were the heads of the households of the Levites. They lived in temple rooms and were free from other service because they were on duty day and night.

34 These were the heads of the households of the Levites, according to descent. They lived in Jerusalem.

35 Jeiel, Gibeon's father, lived in Gibeon. His wife's name was Maacah.

36 His oldest son was Abdon, followed by Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab,

37 Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and Mikloth.

38 Mikloth was the father of Shimeam. They too lived near their relatives in Jerusalem.

39 Ner was the father of Kish, Kish of Saul, Saul of Jonathan, Malchishua, Abinadab, and Esh-baal.

40 Jonathan's son was Merib-baal, and Merib-baal was the father of Micah.

41 Micah's family were Pithon, Melech, Tahrea, and Ahaz.

42 Ahaz was the father of Jarah; and Jarah of Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri. Zimri was the father of Moza.

43 Moza was the father of Binea; Rephaiah was his son, Eleasah was his son, and Azel was his son.

44 Azel had six sons whose names were Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan. This was Azel's family.

1 This is the complete family tree for all Israel, recorded in the Royal Annals of the Kings of Israel and Judah at the time they were exiled to Babylon because of their unbelieving and disobedient lives.

2 The first Israelites to return from exile to their homes and cities were the priests, the Levites, and the temple support staff.

3 Returning to Jerusalem from the families of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh were the following:

4 Uthai son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, from the line of Perez son of Judah;

5 from the Shilonites were Asaiah the firstborn and his sons;

6 from the family of Zerah there was Jeuel. There were 690 in the Judah group.

8 and Ibneiah son of Jeroham, and Elah son of Uzzi, the son of Micri, and Meshullam son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah.

17 The security guards were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their brothers. Shallum was the chief

18 and up to now the security guard at the King's Gate on the east. They also served as security guards at the camps of Levite families.

19 Shallum son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, along with his brothers in the Korahite family, were in charge of the services of worship as doorkeepers of the Tent, as their ancestors had guarded the entrance to the camp of God.

20 In the early days, Phinehas son of Eleazar was in charge of the security guards - God be with him!

21 Now Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was the security guard at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

22 The number of those who had been chosen to be security guards was 212 - they were officially registered in their own camps. David and Samuel the seer handpicked them for their dependability.

23 They and their sons had the permanent responsibility for guarding the gates of God's house, the house of worship;

24 the main security guards were posted at the four entrances, east, west, north, and south;

25 their brothers in the villages were scheduled to give them relief weekly - the four main security guards were responsible for round-the-clock surveillance.

26 Being Levites, they were responsible for the security of all supplies and valuables in the house of God.

27 They kept watch all through the night and had the key to open the doors each morning.

28 Some were in charge of the articles used in The Temple worship - they counted them both when they brought them in and when they took them out.

29 Others were in charge of supplies in the sanctuary - flour, wine, oil, incense, and spices.

30 And some of the priests were assigned to mixing the oils for the perfume.

31 The Levite Mattithiah, the firstborn son of Shallum the Korahite, was responsible for baking the bread for the services of worship.

32 Some of the brothers, sons of the Kohathites, were assigned to preparing the bread set out on the table each Sabbath.

33 And then there were the musicians, all heads of Levite families. They had permanent living quarters in The Temple; because they were on twenty-four-hour duty,

34 they were exempt from all other duties. These were the heads of Levite families as designated in their family tree. They lived in Jerusalem.

35 Jeiel the father of Gibeon lived at Gibeon; his wife was Maacah.

36 His firstborn son was Abdon, followed by Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab,
