1 Chronicles 9:26-36

26 his quattuor Levitis creditus erat omnis numerus ianitorum et erant super exedras et thesauros domus Domini

27 per gyrum quoque templi Domini morabantur in custodiis suis ut cum tempus fuisset ipsi mane aperirent fores

28 de horum grege erant et super vasa ministerii ad numerum enim et inferebantur vasa et efferebantur

29 de ipsis et qui credita habebant utensilia sanctuarii praeerant similae et vino et oleo et turi et aromatibus

30 filii autem sacerdotum unguenta ex aromatibus conficiebant

31 et Matthathias Levites primogenitus Sellum Coritae praefectus erat eorum quae in sartagine frigebantur

32 porro de filiis Caath fratribus eorum super panes erant propositionis ut semper novos per singula sabbata praepararent

33 hii sunt principes cantorum per familias Levitarum qui in exedris morabantur ita ut die et nocte iugiter suo ministerio deservirent

34 capita Levitarum per familias suas principes manserunt in Hierusalem

35 in Gabaon autem commorati sunt pater Gabaon Iaihel et nomen uxoris eius Maacha

36 filius primogenitus eius Abdon et Sur et Cis et Baal et Ner et Nadab
