People of Jerusalem
So all Israel was enrolled by genealogies; and behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. And AJudah was carried away into exile to Babylon for their unfaithfulness.
ANow the first who lived in their possessions in their cities were Israel, the priests, the Levites and Bthe 1temple servants. Some of the sons of Judah, of the sons of Benjamin and of the sons of Ephraim and Manasseh lived in AJerusalem: Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, from the sons of Perez the Ason of Judah. From the Shilonites were Asaiah the firstborn and his sons. From the sons of Zerah were Jeuel and their 1relatives, 690 of them. From the sons of Benjamin were Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah, and Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah; and their relatives according to their generations, A956. All these were heads of fathers’ households according to their fathers’ houses.
10  AFrom the priests were Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, Jachin, 11 and 1Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, Athe chief officer of the house of God; 12 and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer; 13 and their relatives, heads of their fathers’ households, 1,760 very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
14  AOf the Levites were Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari; 15 and Bakbakkar, Heresh and Galal and Mattaniah the son of Mica, the son of 1Zichri, the son of Asaph, 16 and 1Obadiah the son of 2Shemaiah, 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.
17 Now the gatekeepers were 1Shallum and Akkub and Talmon and Ahiman and their relatives (Shallum the chief 18  being stationed until now at Athe king’s gate to the east). These were the gatekeepers for the camp of the sons of Levi. 19  Shallum the son of Kore, the son of 1Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his relatives 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 the Loʀᴅ, keepers of the entrance. 20  APhinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them previously, and the Loʀᴅ was with him. 21  AZechariah the son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper of the entrance of the tent of meeting. 22  All these who were chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds were 212. These were enrolled by genealogy in their villages, Awhom David and Samuel the seer appointed Bin their office of trust. 23 So they and their sons 1had charge of the gates of the house of the Loʀᴅ, even the house of the tent, as guards. 24 The gatekeepers were 1on the four sides, to the east, west, north and south. 25 Their relatives in their villages Awere to come in every seven days from time to time to be with 1them; 26 for the four chief gatekeepers who were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God. 27 They spent the night around the house of God, Abecause the watch was 1committed to them; and they were 2in charge of opening it morning by morning.
28 Now some of them 1had charge of the utensils of service, for 2they counted them when they brought them in and when they took them out. 29  Some of them also were appointed over the furniture and over all the utensils of the sanctuary and Aover the fine flour and the wine and the oil and the frankincense and the spices. 30  Some of Athe sons of the priests prepared the mixing of the spices. 31  Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had Athe 1responsibility over the things which were baked in pans. 32  Some of their relatives of the sons of the Kohathites Awere over the showbread to prepare it every sabbath.
33 Now these are Athe singers, heads of fathers’ households of the Levites, who lived in the chambers of the temple free from other service; for they were 1engaged Bin their work day and night. 34  These were heads of fathers’ households of the Levites according to their generations, chief men, 1who lived in Jerusalem.
