1 Chronicles 9:29-39

29 Some of them also had the instruments of the sanctuary committed unto them, and the charge of the fine flour, and wine, and oil, and frankincense, and spices.
30 And the sons of the priests made the ointments of the spices.
31 And Mathathias a Levite, the firstborn of Sellum the Corite, was overseer of such things as were fried the fryingpan.
32 And some of the sons of Caath their brethren, were over the loaves of proposition, to prepare always new for every sabbath.
33 These are the chief of the singing men of the families of the Levites, who dwelt in the chambers, by the temple, that they might serve continually day and night in their ministry.
34 The heads of the Levites, princes in their families, abode in Jerusalem.
35 And in Gabaon dwelt Jehiel the father of Gabaon, and the name of his wife was Maacha:
36 His firstborn son Abdon, and Sur, and Cis, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab,
37 Gedor also, and Ahio, and Zacharias, and Macelloth.
38 And Macelloth begot Samaan: these dwelt over against their brethren in Jerusalem, with their brethren.
39 Now Ner begot Cis: and Cis begot Saul: and Saul begot Jonathan and Melchisua, and Abinadab, and Esbaal.
