New Century Version NCV

1 The names of all the people of Israel were listed in their family histories, and those family histories were put in the book of the kings of Israel. The people of Judah were captured and forced to go to Babylon, because they were not faithful to God.

2 The first people to come back and live in their own lands and towns were some Israelites, priests, Levites, and Temple servants.

3 People from the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh lived in Jerusalem. This is a list of those people.

4 There was Uthai son of Ammihud. (Ammihud was Omri's son. Omri was Imri's son. Imri was Bani's son. Bani was a descendant of Perez, and Perez was Judah's son.)

5 Of the Shilonite people there were Asaiah and his sons. Asaiah was the oldest son in his family.

6 Of the Zerahite people there were Jeuel and other relatives of Zerah. There were six hundred ninety of them in all.

7 From the tribe of Benjamin there was Sallu son of Meshullam. (Meshullam was Hodaviah's son, and Hodaviah was Hassenuah's son.)

8 There was also Ibneiah son of Jeroham and Elah son of Uzzi. (Uzzi was Micri's son.) And there was Meshullam son of Shephatiah. (Shephatiah was Reuel's son, and Reuel was Ibnijah's son.)

9 The family history of Benjamin lists nine hundred fifty-six people living in Jerusalem, and all these were leaders of their families.

10 Of the priests there were Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, Jakin, and

11 Azariah son of Hilkiah. (Hilkiah was Meshullam's son. Meshullam was Zadok's son. Zadok was Meraioth's son. Meraioth was Ahitub's son. Ahitub was the officer responsible for the Temple of God.)

12 Also there was Adaiah son of Jeroham. (Jeroham was Pashhur's son, and Pashhur was Malkijah's son.) And there was Maasai son of Adiel. (Adiel was Jahzerah's son. Jahzerah was Meshullam's son. Meshullam was Meshillemith's son, and Meshillemith was Immer's son.)

13 There were one thousand seven hundred sixty priests. They were leaders of their families, and they were responsible for serving in the Temple of God.

14 Of the Levites there was Shemaiah son of Hasshub. (Hasshub was Azrikam's son, and Azrikam was Hashabiah's son. Hashabiah was from the family of Merari.)

15 There were also Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, and Mattaniah son of Mica. (Mica was Zicri's son, and Zicri was Asaph's son.)

16 There was also Obadiah son of Shemaiah. (Shemaiah was Galal's son, and Galal was Jeduthun's son.) And there was Berekiah son of Asa. (Asa was the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.)

17 Of the gatekeepers there were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their relatives. Shallum was their leader.

18 These gatekeepers from the tribe of Levi still stand next to the King's Gate on the east side of the city.

19 Shallum was Kore's son. Kore was Ebiasaph's son, and Ebiasaph was Korah's son. Shallum and his relatives from the family of Korah were gatekeepers and were responsible for guarding the gates of the Temple. Their ancestors had also been responsible for guarding the entrance to the Temple of the Lord.

20 In the past Phinehas, Eleazar's son, was in charge of the gatekeepers, and the Lord was with Phinehas.

21 Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was the gatekeeper at the entrance to the Temple.

22 In all, two hundred twelve men were chosen to guard the gates, and their names were written in their family histories in their villages. David and Samuel the seer chose these men because they were dependable.

23 The gatekeepers and their descendants had to guard the gates of the Temple of the Lord. (The Temple took the place of the Holy Tent.)

24 There were gatekeepers on all four sides of the Temple: east, west, north, and south.

25 The gatekeepers' relatives who lived in the villages had to come and help them at times. Each time they came they helped the gatekeepers for seven days.

26 Because they were dependable, four gatekeepers were made the leaders of all the gatekeepers. They were Levites, and they were responsible for the rooms and treasures in the Temple of God.

27 They stayed up all night guarding the Temple of God, and they opened it every morning.

28 Some of the gatekeepers were responsible for the utensils used in the Temple services. They counted these utensils when people took them out and when they brought them back.

29 Other gatekeepers were chosen to take care of the furniture and utensils in the Holy Place. They also took care of the flour, wine, oil, incense, and spices,

30 but some of the priests took care of mixing the spices.

31 There was a Levite named Mattithiah who was dependable and had the job of baking the bread used for the offerings. He was the first son of Shallum, who was from the family of Korah.

32 Some of the gatekeepers from the Kohath family had the job of preparing the special bread that was put on the table every Sabbath day.

33 Some of the Levites were musicians in the Temple. The leaders of these families stayed in the rooms of the Temple. Since they were on duty day and night, they did not do other work in the Temple.

34 These are the leaders of the Levite families. Their names were listed in their family histories, and they lived in Jerusalem.

35 Jeiel lived in the town of Gibeon, where he was the leader. His wife was named Maacah.

36 Jeiel's first son was Abdon. His other sons were Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab,

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 So all Isra'el was listed by genealogies, and these were recorded in the book of the kings of Isra'el. Then Y'hudah was carried away captive to Bavel because of their unfaithfulness.

2 The first people to return to their possessions in the cities were the Isra'elim, the cohanim, the L'vi'im and the temple servants.

3 In Yerushalayim lived some descendants of Y'hudah, some descendants of Binyamin and some descendants of Efrayim and of M'nasheh:

4 'Utai the son of 'Ammihud, the son of 'Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, from the descendants of Peretz the son of Y'hudah.

5 Of the Shiloni: 'Asayah the firstborn and his sons.

6 Of the descendants of Zerach: Ye'u'el and their kinsmen, 690.

7 Of the descendants of Binyamin: Salu the son of Meshulam the son of Hodavyah the son of Hasnu'ah,

8 Yivneyah the son of Yerocham, Elah the son of 'Uzi the son of Mikhri, Meshulam the son of Sh'fatyah the son of Re'u'el the son of Yivneyah,

9 and their kinsmen, according to their generations - altogether 956. All these men were leaders of fathers' clans.

10 Of the cohanim: Y'da'yah, Y'hoyariv, Yakhin,

11 'Azaryah the son of Hilkiyah the son of Meshulam the son of Tzadok the son of M'rayot the son of Achituv the ruler of the house of God,

13 and their kinsmen, leaders of their fathers'clans, 1,760 very competent men available for serving in the house of God.

15 Bakbakar; Heresh; Galal; Matanyah the son of Mikha the son of Zikhri the son of Asaf;

16 'Ovadyah the son of Sh'ma'yah the son of Galal the son of Y'dutun; and Berekhyah the son of Asa the son of Elkanah, who lived in the towns of the N'tofati.

17 The gatekeepers: Shalum, 'Akuv, Talmon, Achiman and their kinsmen; Shalum was the chief.

18 Previously they had guarded the king's gate to the east; they were gatekeepers for the camp of the descendants of Levi.

19 Shalum the son of Kore the son of Evyasaf the son of Korach and his kinsmen from his father's clan the Korchim were in charge of the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tent. Their ancestors had been in charge of the camp of ADONAI, keepers of the entryway.

20 Pinchas the son of El'azar had been ruler over them long before; ADONAI had been with him.

21 Z'kharyah the son of Meshelemyah guarded the entryway to the tent of meeting.

22 All these chosen to be gatekeepers numbered 212. Their genealogies were recorded in their towns; they had been appointed to their positions by David and Sh'mu'el the seer.

23 They and their descendants supervised the gates of the house of ADONAI, that is, the house of the tent, by periods of duty.

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

25 From time to time their kinsmen had to come in from their towns to help them for seven days.

26 For the four chief gatekeepers were on permanent duty; they were the L'vi'im in charge of accommodations and supplies in the house of God.

27 They spent their nights in the vicinity of the house of God, because they were in charge of it; they were responsible for opening it up each morning.

28 Some of [the L'vi'im] were in charge of the articles used for the service; they had to keep records of them when bringing them in and out.

29 Others were in charge of the equipment, the holy utensils, the fine flour, the wine, the olive oil, the frankincense and the spices.

30 Some of the sons of the cohanim mixed together the ingredients for the perfumes.

31 Mattityah, one of the L'vi'im, who was the firstborn of Shalum the Korchi, was permanently in charge of baking operations.

32 Some of their kinsmen, from the descendants of the K'hati, were in charge of preparing the showbread every Shabbat.

33 Also there were the singers, heads of fathers' clans among the L'vi'im. They lived in the accommodations and were free from other kinds of service, for they were employed in their own work day and night.

34 These were heads of fathers' clans among the L'vi'im, according to their generations, and they were leaders; they lived in Yerushalayim.

35 In Giv'on lived the father of Giv'on, Ye'i'el, whose his wife's name was Ma'akhah;

36 and his firstborn son 'Avdon, Tzur, Kish, Ba'al, Ner, Nadav,
