1 Chronicles 26:1-19

¹As for the divisions of the gatekeepers: of the Ko'rahites, Meshelemi'ah the son of Ko're, of the sons of Asaph. ²And Meshelemi'ah had sons: Zechari'ah the first-born, Jedi'a-el the second, Zebadi'ah the third, Jath'ni-el the fourth, ³Elam the fifth, Jehoha'nan the sixth, Eli-e-ho-e'nai the seventh. ⁴And O'bed-e'dom had sons: Shemai'ah the first-born, Jehoz'abad the second, Jo'ah the third, Sachar the fourth, Nethan'el the fifth, ⁵Am'mi-el the sixth, Is'sachar the seventh, Pe-ul'lethai the eighth; for God blessed him. ⁶Also to his son Shemai'ah were sons born who were rulers in their fathers' houses, for they were men of great ability. ⁷The sons of Shemai'ah: Othni, Reph'a-el, Obed, and Elza'bad, whose brethren were able men, Eli'hu and Semachi'ah. ⁸All these were of the sons of O'bed-e'dom with their sons and brethren, able men qualified for the service; sixty-two of O'bed-e'dom. ⁹And Meshelemi'ah had sons and brethren, able men, eighteen. ¹⁰And Hosah, of the sons of Merar'i, had sons: Shimri the chief (for though he was not the first-born, his father made him chief), ¹¹Hilki'ah the second, Tebali'ah the third, Zechari'ah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.

¹²These divisions of the gatekeepers, corresponding to their chief men, had duties, just as their brethren did, ministering in the house of the LORD; ¹³and they cast lots by fathers' houses, small and great alike, for their gates. ¹⁴The lot for the east fell to Shelemi'ah. They cast lots also for his son Zechari'ah, a shrewd counselor, and his lot came out for the north. ¹⁵O'bed-e'dom's came out for the south, and to his sons was allotted the storehouse. ¹⁶For Shuppim and Hosah it came out for the west, at the gate of Shal'lecheth on the road that goes up. Watch corresponded to watch. ¹⁷On the east there were six each day, on the north four each day, on the south four each day, as well as two and two at the storehouse; ¹⁸and for the parbar on the west there were four at the road and two at the parbar. ¹⁹These were the divisions of the gatekeepers among the Ko'rahites and the sons of Merar'i.
