1 So all Israel was recorded in genealogies, and these are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. And Judah was taken into exile in Babylon because of their breach of faith.

2 Now the first to dwell again in their possessions in their cities were Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the temple servants.

3 And some of the people of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh lived in Jerusalem:

4 Uthai the son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, from the sons of Perez the son of Judah.

5 And of the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons.

6 Of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel and their kinsmen, 690.

7 Of the Benjaminites: Sallu the son of Meshullam, son of Hodaviah, son of Hassenuah,

8 Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, Elah the son of Uzzi, son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, son of Reuel, son of Ibnijah;

9 and their kinsmen according to their generations, . All these were heads of fathers' houses according to their fathers' houses.

10 Of the priests: Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, Jachin,

11 and Azariah the son of Hilkiah, son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub, the chief officer of the house of God;

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

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

17 The gatekeepers were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their kinsmen (Shallum was the chief);

18 until then they were in the king's gate on the east side as the gatekeepers of the camps of the Levites.

19 Shallum the son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his kinsmen of his fathers' house, the Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent, as their fathers had been in charge of the camp of the LORD, keepers of the entrance.

20 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the chief officer over them in time past; the LORD was with him.

21 Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

22 All these, who were chosen as gatekeepers at the thresholds, were 212. They were enrolled by genealogies in their villages. David and Samuel the seer established them in their office of trust.

23 So they and their sons were in charge of the gates of the house of the LORD, that is, the house of the tent, as guards.

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

25 And their kinsmen who were in their villages were obligated to come in every seven days, in turn, to be with these,

26 for the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted to be over the chambers and the treasures of the house of God.

27 And they lodged around the house of God, for on them lay the duty of watching, and they had charge of opening it every morning.

28 Some of them had charge of the utensils of service, for they were required to count them when they were brought in and taken out.

29 Others of them were appointed over the furniture and over all the holy utensils, also over the fine flour, the wine, the oil, the incense, and the spices.

30 Others, of the sons of the priests, prepared the mixing of the spices,

31 and Mattithiah, one of the Levites, the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with making the flat cakes.

32 Also some of their kinsmen of the Kohathites had charge of the showbread, to prepare it every Sabbath.

33 Now these, the singers, the heads of fathers' houses of the Levites, were in the chambers of the temple free from other service, for they were on duty day and night.

34 These were heads of fathers' houses of the Levites, according to their generations, leaders. These lived in Jerusalem.

35 In Gibeon lived the father of Gibeon, Jeiel, and the name of his wife was Maacah,

36 and his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab,

The Message Bible MSG

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.

7 From the family of Benjamin were Sallu son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah,

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.

9 There were 956 in the Benjamin group. All these named were heads of families.

10 From the company of priests there were Jedaiah; Jehoiarib; Jakin;

11 Azariah son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, who was in charge of taking care of the house of God;

12 Adaiah son of Jeroham, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malkijah; also Maasai son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer.

13 The priests, all of them heads of families, numbered 1,760, skilled and seasoned servants in the work of worshiping God.

14 From the Levites were Shemaiah son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, a Merarite;

15 then Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, Mattaniah son of Mica, the son of Zicri, the son of Asaph;

16 also Obadiah son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun; and finally Berekiah son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.

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,

37 Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and Mikloth.
