Vārtu sargi
1 Vārtu sargu nodaļa. No korahiešiem – Mešelemjāhu, Kores dēls, viņš Āsāfa dēls. 2 Mešelemjāhu dēli: pirmdzimtais Zeharjahu, otrais Jedīaēls, trešais Zebadjāhu, ceturtais Jatniēls, 3 piektais Ēlāms, sestais Jehohānāns, septītais Eljehoēnajs. 4 Obēd-Edoma dēli: pirmdzimtais Šemaja, otrais Jehozābāds, trešais Joāhs, ceturtais Sāhārs, piektais Netanēls, 5 sestais Ammiēls, septītais Jisašhars, astotais Peulletajs, jo Dievs svētīja Obēd-Edomu.
6 Arī viņa dēlam Šemajam tika dzemdēti dēli, kas valdīja savos tēvu namos, jo viņi bija vareni spēkavīri. 7 Šemajas dēli: Otnī, Refaēls, Obēds un Elzābāds. Arī viņa brāļi Ēlīhu un Semahjāhu bija vareni vīri. 8 Šie visi bija Obēd-Edoma dēli, gan viņa, gan viņa dēlu dēli un viņu brāļi – stipri vīri, spējīgi kalpot, sešdesmit divi no Obēd-Edoma. 9 Mešelemjāhu dēli un brāļi, astoņpadsmit stipri vīri.
10 Merārī dēla Hosas dēli: galvenais Šimrī, viņš nebija pirmdzimtais, bet viņa tēvs to iecēla par galveno. 11 Otrais Hilkija, trešais Tebaljahu, ceturtais Zeharjahu. Šie visi bija Hosas dēli un brāļi, kopā trīspadsmit.
12 Šīm vārtu sargu nodaļām, viņu galvenajiem vadītājiem, tāpat kā viņu brāļiem, bija pienākums kalpot Kunga namā. 13 Viņi meta lozes par katriem vārtiem – gan mazs, gan liels – pēc tēvu namiem.
14 Austrumu vārtu loze krita Šelemjam, bet viņa dēlam Zeharjahu, kas bija gudrs padomdevējs, krita Ziemeļu vārtu loze. 15 Obēd-Edomam krita Dienvidu vārtu loze, viņa dēliem noliktavas. 16 Šupīmam un Hosam krita Rietumu un Šalleheta vārti, kur taka iet augšup. Sardzes vietas bija izvietotas šādi – 17 katru dienu seši levīti stāvēja Austrumu vārtos, četri katru dienu stāvēja Ziemeļu vārtos, četri katru dienu stāvēja Dienvidu vārtos un divi pie noliktavas. 18 Pie rietumu piebūves četri stāvēja pie ceļa un divi pie piebūves. 19 Šīs ir vārtu sargu vienības no korahiešu dēliem un Merārī dēliem.
Dārgumu krātuvju mantziņi, ierēdņi un tiesneši
20 Levīti un viņu brāļi bija atbildīgi par Dieva nama dārgumu krātuvēm un ziedojumu mantnīcām – 21 Ladāna dēli, kuri bija geršonieši, Ladāna pēcnācēji, un geršonieša Ladāna tēva nama galvenie bija jehiēlieši. 22 Jehiēla dēli bija Zētāms un viņa brālis Joēls, Kunga nama mantziņi.
23 No amrāmiešiem, jichāriešiem, hebroniešiem un uziēliešiem: 24 Šebuēls, Gēršoma dēls, Mozus dēls, bija mantnīcu priekšnieks. 25 Viņa brāļi no Elīezera puses bija viņa dēls Rehabjāhu, viņa dēls Jesaja, viņa dēls Jorāms, viņa dēls Zihrī, viņa dēls Šelomots. 26 Šelomots un viņa brāļi bija atbildīgi par visām mantnīcām, kurās glabājās ziedojumi no ķēniņa Dāvida un tēva nama galvenajiem, kuri bija virsnieki pār tūkstošiem un simtiem, kā arī citi karaspēka virsnieki. 27 Viņi bija ziedojuši kara laupījumu, lai uzturētu Kunga namu. 28 Par visu, ko bija ziedojuši redzētājs Samuēls, Sauls, Kīša dēls, Abnērs, Nēra dēls, un Joābs, Cerūjas dēls, – par visiem ziedojumiem bija atbildīgs Šelomīts un viņa brāļi.
29 Par citiem darbiem atbildēja jichārietis Kenanjāhu un viņa dēli, viņš bija virsnieks un tiesnesis Israēlā. 30 No hebroniešiem: Hašabjāhu un viņa brāļi, tūkstoš septiņi simti stipru vīru, pārraudzīja visus Kunga darbus un kalpošanu ķēniņam Israēla rietumu apgabalā šaipus Jardānas. 31 No hebroniešiem pēc dzimtu cilts rakstiem galvenais bija Jerijāhu. Dāvida valdīšanas četrdesmitajā gadā Gileādas Jaazērā tika meklēti un atrasti vareni spēkavīri. 32 Viņam bija arī divi tūkstoši septiņi simti brāļu, tie bija stipri vīri, tēvu namu galvenie. Ķēniņš Dāvids tos iecēla par visu Dieva un ķēniņa lietu pārziņiem rūbeniešiem, gādiešiem un pusei Manases cilts.
1 Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites was Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph. 2 And the sons of Meshelemiah were , Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth, 3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh. 4 Moreover the sons of Obed-edom were , Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth, 5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth: for God blessed him. 6 Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they were mighty men of valour. 7 The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah. 8 All these of the sons of Obed-edom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were threescore and two of Obed-edom. 9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen. 10 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;) 11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen. 12 Among these were the divisions of the porters, even among the chief men, having wards one against another, to minister in the house of the LORD.
13 ¶ And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate. 14 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward. 15 To Obed-edom southward; and to his sons the house of Asuppim. 16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward against ward. 17 Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and toward Asuppim two and two. 18 At Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar. 19 These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore, and among the sons of Merari.
20 ¶ And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of the house of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things. 21 As concerning the sons of Laadan; the sons of the Gershonite Laadan, chief fathers, even of Laadan the Gershonite, were Jehieli. 22 The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother, which were over the treasures of the house of the LORD. 23 Of the Amramites, and the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites: 24 And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of the treasures. 25 And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son. 26 Which Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the host, had dedicated. 27 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the LORD. 28 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated; and whosoever had dedicated any thing, it was under the hand of Shelomith, and of his brethren.
29 ¶ Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward business over Israel, for officers and judges. 30 And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, men of valour, a thousand and seven hundred, were officers among them of Israel on this side Jordan westward in all the business of the LORD, and in the service of the king. 31 Among the Hebronites was Jerijah the chief, even among the Hebronites, according to the generations of his fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought for, and there were found among them mighty men of valour at Jazer of Gilead. 32 And his brethren, men of valour, were two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king.
