1 Un viss Israēls tika ierakstīts ciltsrakstos, un redzi, tie ir ierakstīti Israēla ķēniņu grāmatā. Bet Jūda viņa neuzticības dēļ tika izvests uz Bābeli. 2 Pirmie, kas apmetās savos īpašumos un savās pilsētās, bija Israēls, priesteri, levīti un Tempļa kalpotāji. 3 Un Jeruzālemē apmetās uz dzīvi no Jūdas dēliem, no Benjamīna dēliem un no Efraima dēliem un no Manases šādi vīri: 4 Ūtajs, Amihuda dēls - tas Omrija dēls, tas Imrija dēls, tas Banija dēls - tas no Pereca, Jūdas dēla, pēcnācējiem; 5 un no šiloniešiem Asaja, pirmdzimtais, un tā dēli; 6 un no Zeraha dēliem Jehuēls un viņa brāļi, seši simti deviņdesmit vīri. 7 No Benjamīna dēliem: Sallus, Mešullāma dēls, tas Hodavja dēls, tas Hasenuas dēls; 8 un Jibneja, Jerohāma dēls, un Ēla, Usija dēls, Mihrija dēladēls, un Mešullāms, Šefatjas dēls, tas bija Reguēla dēls, un tas Jibneja dēls; 9 un viņu brāļi pēc viņu paaudzēm - deviņi simti piecdesmit seši.

Šie bija Acela dēli.

The Temple Guards Who Lived in Jerusalem
17 The following Temple guards lived in Jerusalem: Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, and Ahiman. Shallum was their leader. 18 Down to that time members of their clans had been stationed at the eastern entrance to the King's Gate. Formerly they had stood guard at the gates to the camps of the Levites.
19 Shallum, the son of Kore and grandson of Ebiasaph, together with his fellow members of the clan of Korah, was responsible for guarding the entrance to the Tent of the Lord's presence, just as their ancestors had been when they were in charge of the Lord's camp. 20 Phinehas son of Eleazar—may the Lord be with him!—had supervised them at one time.
21 Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was also a guard at the entrance to the Tent of the Lord's presence.
22 In all, 212 men were chosen as guards for the entrances and gates. They were registered according to the villages where they lived. It was King David and the prophet Samuel who had put their ancestors in these responsible positions. 23 They and their descendants continued to guard the gates to the Temple. 24 There was a gate facing in each direction, north, south, east, and west, and each had a chief guard. 25 These guards were assisted by their relatives, who lived in the villages and who had to take turns at guard duty for seven days at a time. 26 The four chief guards were Levites and had the final responsibility. They were also responsible for the rooms in the Temple and for the supplies kept there. 27 They lived near the Temple, because it was their duty to guard it and to open the gates every morning.
The Other Levites
28 Other Levites were responsible for the utensils used in worship. They checked them out and checked them back in every time they were used. 29 Others were in charge of the other sacred equipment, and of the flour, wine, olive oil, incense, and spices. 30 But the responsibility for mixing the spices belonged to the priests.
31 A Levite named Mattithiah, oldest son of Shallum, of the clan of Korah, was responsible for preparing the baked offerings. 32 Members of the clan of Kohath were responsible for preparing the sacred bread for the Temple every Sabbath.
33 Some Levite families were responsible for the Temple music. The heads of these families lived in some of the Temple buildings and were free from other duties, because they were on call day and night.
34 The men named above were heads of Levite families, according to their ancestral lines. They were the leaders who lived in Jerusalem.
