The Gatekeepers
1These are the groups of the gatekeepers from the Korah family: Meshelemiah was the son of Kore, who was from the family of Asaph.
2These were Meshelemiah’s sons: Zechariah was the oldest son, and Jediael was the second. Zebadiah was the third, Jathniel the fourth,
3Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, and Eliehoenai the seventh son.
4These were Obed Edom’s sons: His oldest son was Shemaiah. Jehozabad was his second son, Joah his third, Sacar his fourth, Nethanel his fifth,
5Ammiel his sixth, Issachar his seventh, and Peullethai his eighth son. God really blessed Obed Edom.
6Obed Edom’s son Shemaiah also had sons. His sons were leaders in their father’s family because they were brave soldiers.
7Shemaiah’s sons were Othni, Rephael, Obed, Elzabad, Elihu, and Semakiah. Elzabad’s relatives were skilled workers.
8All these men were Obed Edom’s descendants. With their sons and relatives there were 62 of them, all powerful men and good guards.
9Meshelemiah’s sons and relatives were also powerful men. In all there were 18 of them.
10These are the gatekeepers from the Merari family: Hosah, son of Merari, chose his son Shimri to be the leader, even though he was not the oldest son.
11Hilkiah was Hosah’s second son, Tebaliah his third, and Zechariah his fourth son. In all Hosah had 13 sons and relatives who were gatekeepers.
12These were the leaders of the groups of the gatekeepers. The gatekeepers had a special way to serve in the LORD'S Temple, just as their relatives did.
13Each family was given a gate to guard. Lots were thrown to choose a gate for a family. Young and old were treated the same.
14Meshelemiah was chosen to guard the East Gate. Then lots were thrown for Meshelemiah’s son Zechariah. Zechariah was a wise counselor. Zechariah was chosen for the North Gate.
15Obed Edom was chosen for the South Gate. And Obed Edom’s sons were chosen to guard the house where the valuable things were kept.
16Shuppim and Hosah were chosen for the West Gate and the Shalleketh Gate on the upper road. Guards stood side by side.
17Six Levites stood guard every day at the East Gate. Four Levites stood guard every day at the North Gate. Four Levites stood guard at the South Gate. And two Levites guarded the house where the valuable things were kept.
18There were four guards at the western court and two guards on the road to the court.
19These were the groups of the gatekeepers from the families of Korah and Merari.
