009:016 and Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son
of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah,
who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.
009:017 The porters: Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman,
and their brothers (Shallum was the chief),
009:018 who hitherto [waited] in the king's gate eastward:
they were the porters for the camp of the children of Levi.
009:019 Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah,
and his brothers, of his father's house, the Korahites, were over
the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent:
and their fathers had been over the camp of Yahweh,
keepers of the entry.
009:020 Phinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them in time past,
[and] Yahweh was with him.
009:021 Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door
of the tent of meeting.
009:022 All these who were chosen to be porters in the thresholds
were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by genealogy
in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain
in their office of trust.
009:023 So they and their children had the oversight of the gates
of the house of Yahweh, even the house of the tent, by wards.
009:024 On the four sides were the porters, toward the east,
west, north, and south.
009:025 Their brothers, in their villages, were to come in every seven
days from time to time to be with them:
009:026 for the four chief porters, who were Levites, were in an office
of trust, and were over the chambers and over the treasuries
in the house of God.
009:027 They lodged round about the house of God, because the charge
[of it] was on them; and to them pertained the opening of it
morning by morning.
009:028 Certain of them had charge of the vessels of service; for by count
were these brought in and by count were these taken out.
009:029 Some of them also were appointed over the furniture, and over
all the vessels of the sanctuary, and over the fine flour,
and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
009:030 Some of the sons of the priests prepared the confection
of the spices.
009:031 Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum
the Korahite, had the office of trust over the things that
were baked in pans.
009:032 Some of their brothers, of the sons of the Kohathites,
were over the show bread, to prepare it every Sabbath.
009:033 These are the singers, heads of fathers' [houses] of the Levites,
[who lived] in the chambers [and were] free [from other service];
for they were employed in their work day and night.
009:034 These were heads of fathers' [houses] of the Levites,
throughout their generations, chief men: these lived at Jerusalem.
