1 Chronicles 9

New Revised Standard NRS

1 So all Israel was enrolled by genealogies; and these are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. And Judah was taken into exile in Babylon because of their unfaithfulness.

2 Now the first to live again in their possessions in their towns were Israelites, priests, Levites, and temple servants.

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

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

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

6 Of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel and their kin, six hundred ninety.

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

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

9 and their kindred according to their generations, nine hundred fifty-six. All these were heads of families according to their ancestral houses.

10 Of the priests: Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, Jachin,

11 and Azariah 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 son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, son of Malchijah, and Maasai son of Adiel, son of Jahzerah, son of Meshullam, son of Meshillemith, son of Immer;

13 besides their kindred, heads of their ancestral houses, one thousand seven hundred sixty, qualified for the work of the service of the house of God.

14 Of the Levites: Shemaiah son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;

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

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

17 The gatekeepers were: Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman; and their kindred Shallum was the chief,

18 stationed previously in the king's gate on the east side. These were the gatekeepers of the camp of the Levites.

19 Shallum son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his kindred of his ancestral house, the Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, guardians of the thresholds of the tent, as their ancestors had been in charge of the camp of the Lord, guardians of the entrance.

20 And Phinehas son of Eleazar was chief over them in former times; the Lord was with him.

21 Zechariah 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 two hundred twelve. They were enrolled by genealogies in their villages. David and the seer Samuel established them in their office of trust.

23 So they and their descendants 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 kindred who were in their villages were obliged to come in every seven days, in turn, to be with them;

26 for the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were in charge of the chambers and the treasures of the house of God.

27 And they would spend the night near 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 choice 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 in charge of making the flat cakes.

32 Also some of their kindred of the Kohathites had charge of the rows of bread, to prepare them for each sabbath.

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

34 These were heads of ancestral houses of the Levites, according to their generations; these leaders lived in Jerusalem.

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

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

37 Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and Mikloth;

38 and Mikloth became the father of Shimeam; and these also lived opposite their kindred in Jerusalem, with their kindred.

39 Ner became the father of Kish, Kish of Saul, Saul of Jonathan, Malchishua, Abinadab, and Esh-baal;

40 and the son of Jonathan was Merib-baal; and Merib-baal became the father of Micah.

41 The sons of Micah: Pithon, Melech, Tahrea, and Ahaz;

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

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

44 Azel had six sons, and these are their names: Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan; these were the sons of Azel.

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.

38 Mikloth had Shimeam. They lived in the same neighborhood as their relatives in Jerusalem.

39 Ner had Kish, Kish had Saul, Saul had Jonathan, Malki-Shua, Abinadab, and Esh-Baal.
