1 Καὶ εἰς διαιρέσεις τῶν πυλῶν, υἱοὶ Κορεῒμ Μοσελλεμία ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Ἀσάφ.
2 Καὶ τῷ Μοσελλαμίᾳ υἱὸς Ζαχαρίας ὁ πρωτότοκος, Ἰαδιὴλ ὁ δεύτερος, Ζαβαδία ὁ τρίτος, Ἰενουὴλ ὁ τέταρτος,
3 Ἰωλὰμ ὁ πέμπτος, Ἰωνάθαν ὁ ἕκτος, Ἐλιωναῒ ὁ ἕβδομος. Ἀβδεδὸμ ὁ ὄγδοος.
4 Καὶ τῷ Ἀβδεδὸμ υἱοὶ, Σαμαίας ὁ πρωτότοκος, Ἰωζαβὰθ ὁ δεύτερος, Ἰωὰθ ὁ τρίος, Σαχὰρ ὁ τέταρτος, Ναθαναὴλ ὁ πέμπτος,
5 Ἀμιὴλ ὁ ἕκτος, Ἰσσάχαρ ὁ ἕβδομος, Φελαθὶ ὁ ὄγδοος, ὅτι εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν ὁ Θεός.
6 Καὶ τῷ Σαμαίᾳ υἱῶ αὑτοῦ ἐτέχθησαν υἱοὶ τοῦ πρωτοτόκου Ῥωσαὶ εἰς τὸν οἶκον τὸν πατρικὸν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι δυνατοὶ ἦσαν.
7 Υἱοὶ Σαμαῒ, Ὀθνὶ καὶ Ῥαφαὴλ, καὶ Ὠβὴδ, καὶ Ἐλζαβὰθ, καὶ Ἀχιοὺδ, υἱοὶ δυνατοὶ, Ἑλιοῦ, καὶ Σαβαχία, καὶ Ἰσβακώμ.
8 Πάντες ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἀβδεδὸμ, αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν ποιοῦντες δυνατῶς ἐν τῇ ἐργασίᾳ, οἱ πάντες ἑξηκονταδύο τῷ Ἀβδεδόμ.
9 Καὶ τῷ Μοσελλεμίᾳ υἱοὶ καὶ ἀδελφοὶ δεκακαιοκτὼ δυνατοί.
10 Καὶ τῷ Ὀσᾷ τῶν υἱῶν Μεραρὶ υἱοὶ φυλάσσοντες τὴν ἀρχὴν, ὅτι οὐκ ἦν πρωτότοκος· καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἄρχοντα τῆς διαιρέσεως τῆς δευτέρας.
11 Χελκίας ὁ δεύτερος, Ταβλαὶ ὁ τρίτος, Ζαχαρίας ὁ τέταρτος· πάντες οὗτοι υἱοὶ καὶ ἀδελφοὶ τῷ Ὀσᾷ τρισκαίδεκα.
12 Τούτοις αἱ διαιρέσεις τῶν πυλῶν τοῖς ἄρχουσι τῶν δυνατῶν ἐφημερίαι, καθὼς οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν λειτουργεῖν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.
13 Καὶ ἔβαλον κλήρους κατὰ τὸν μικρὸν καὶ κατὰ τὸν μέγαν κατʼ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν εἰς πυλῶνα καὶ πυλῶνα.
14 Καὶ ἔπεσεν ὁ κλῆρος τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς τῷ Σελεμίᾳ, καὶ Ζαχαρίᾳ· υἱοὶ Σωὰζ τῷ Μελχίᾳ ἔβαλον κλήρους, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ κλῆρος Βοῥῥᾶ.
15 Τῷ Ἀβδεδὸμ Νότον κατέναντι οἴκου Ἐσεφίμ.
16 Εἰς δεύτερον τῷ Ὀσᾷ πρὸς δυσμαῖς μετὰ τὴν πύλην παστοφορίου τῆς ἀναβάσεως· φυλακὴ κατέναντι φυλακῆς.
17 Πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἓξ τὴν ἡμέραν· Βοῤῥᾶ τῆς ἡμέρας τέσσαρες· Νότον τῆς ἡμέρας τέσσαρες· καὶ εἰς τὸν Ἐσεφὶμ δύο
18 εἰς διαδεχομένους· καὶ τῷ Ὀσᾷ πρὸς δυσμαῖς μετὰ τὴν πύλην τοῦ παστοφορίου τρεῖς· φυλακὴ κατέναντι φυλακῆς τῆς ἀναβάσεως πρὸς ἀνατολὰς τῆς ἡμέρας ἓξ, καὶ τῷ Βοῤῥᾷ τέσσαρες, καὶ τῷ Νότῳ τέσσαρες, καὶ Ἐσεφὶμ δύο εἰς διαδεχομένους, καὶ πρὸς δυσμαῖς τέσσαρες, καὶ εἰς τὸν τρίβον δύο διαδεχομένους.
19 Αὗται αἱ διαιρέσεις τῶν πυλωρῶν τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ Κορὲ, καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Μεραρί.
20 Καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τῶν θησαυρῶν οἴκου Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν θησαυρῶν τῶν καθηγιασμένων.
21 Υἱοὶ Λαδὰν οὗτοι, υἱοὶ τῷ Γηρσωνί· τῷ Λαδὰν ἄρχοντες πατριῶν, τῷ Λαδὰν, τῷ Γηρσωνὶ Ἰεϊήλ.
22 Υἱοὶ Ἰεϊὴλ Ζεθὸμ καὶ Ἰωὴλ, οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ἐπὶ τῶν θησαυρῶν οἴκου Κυρίου.
23 Τῷ Ἀμβρὰμ καὶ Ἰσσαὰρ, Χεβρὼν, καὶ Ὀζιήλ.
24 Καὶ Σουβαὴλ ὁ τοῦ Γηρσὰμ τοῦ Μωυσῆ ἐπὶ τῶν θησαυρῶν.
25 Καὶ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ Ἐλιέζερ Ῥαβίας υἱὸς, καὶ Ἰωσίας, καὶ Ἰωρὰμ, καὶ Ζεχρὶ, καὶ Σαλωμώθ.
26 Αὐτὸς Σαλωμὼθ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πάντων τῶν θησαυρῶν τῶν ἁγίων, οὓς ἡγίασε Δαυὶδ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν πατριῶν, χιλίαρχοι καὶ ἑκατόνταρχοι καὶ ἀρχηγοὶ τῆς δυνάμεως,
27 ἃ ἔλαβεν ἐκ πόλεων καὶ ἐκ τῶν λαφύρων, καὶ ἡγίασεν ἀπʼ αὐτῶν τοῦ μὴ καθυστερῆσαι τὴν οἰκοδομὴν τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ·
28 καὶ ἐπὶ πάντων τῶν ἁγίων τοῦ Θεοῦ Σαμουὴλ τοῦ προφήτου, καὶ Σαοὺλ τοῦ Κὶς, καὶ Ἀβεννὴρ τοῦ Νὴρ, καὶ Ἰωὰβ τοῦ Σαρουία, πᾶν ὃ ἡγίασαν διὰ χειρὸς Σαλωμὼθ καὶ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ.
29 Τῷ Ἰσσααρὶ Χωνενία, καὶ υἱοὶ τῆς ἐργασίας τῆς ἔξω ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ γραμματεύειν καὶ διακρίνειν.
30 Τῷ Χεβρωνὶ Ἀσαβίας καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ υἱοὶ δυνατοὶ χίλιοι καὶ ἐπτακόσιοι ἐπὶ τῆς ἐπισκέψεως τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου πρὸς δυσμαῖς, εἰς πᾶσαν λειτουργίαν Κυρίου καὶ ἐργασίαν τοῦ βασιλέως.
31 Τοῦ Χεβρωνὶ Οὐρίας ὁ ἄρχων τῶν Χεβρωνὶ κατὰ γενέσεις αὐτῶν, κατὰ πατριὰς, ἐν τῷ τεσσαρακοστῷ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ ἐπεσκέπησαν, καὶ εὑρέθη ἀνὴρ δυνατὸς ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐν Ἰαζὴρ τῆς Γαλααδίτιδος·
32 Καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ υἱοὶ δυνατοὶ δισχίλιοι ἑπτακόσιοι οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν πατριῶν, καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτοὺς Δαυὶδ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τοῦ Ῥουβηνὶ, καὶ Γαδδὶ, καὶ ἡμίσους φυλῆς Μανασσῆ εἰς πᾶν πρόσταγμα Κυρίου καὶ λόγον βασιλέως.

1 And for the divisions of the gates: the sons of the Corites were Mosellemia, of the sons of Asaph.
2 And Mosellemia's first-born son was Zacharias, the second Jadiel, the third Zabadia, the fourth Jenuel,
3 the fifth Jolam, the sixth Jonathan, the seventh Elionai, the eighth Abdedom.
4 And to Abdedom there were born sons, Samaias the first-born, Jozabath the second, Joath the third, Sachar the fourth, Nathanael the fifth,
5 Amiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Phelathi the eighth: for God blessed him.
6 And to Samaias his son were born the sons of his first-born, chiefs over the house of their father, for they were mighty.
7 The sons of Samai; Othni, and Raphael, and Obed, and Elzabath, and Achiud, mighty men, Heliu, and Sabachia, and Isbacom.
8 All these were of the sons of Abdedom, they and their sons and their brethren, doing mightily in service: in all sixty-two born to Abdedom.
9 And Mosellemia had eighteen sons and brethren, mighty men.
10 And to Osa of the sons of Merari there were born sons, keeping the dominion; though he was not the first-born, yet his father made him chief of the second division.
11 Chelcias the second, Tablai the third, Zacharias the fourth: all these were the sons and brethren of Osa, thirteen.
12 To these were assigned the divisions of the gates, to the chiefs of the mighty men the daily courses, even their brethren, to minister in the house of the Lord.
13 And they cast lots for the small as well as for the great, for the several gates, according to their families.
14 And the lot of the east gates fell to Selemias, and Zacharias: the sons of Soaz cast lots for Melchias, and the lot came out northward.
15 To Abdedom they gave by lot the south, opposite the house of Esephim.
16 They gave the lot for the second to Osa westward, after the gate of the chamber by the ascent, watch against watch.
17 Eastward were six watchmen in the day; northward four by the day; southward four by the day; and two at the Esephim,
18 to relieve guard, also for Osa westward after the chamber-gate, three. There was a ward over against the ward of the ascent eastward, six men in a day, and four for the north, and four for the south, and at the Esephim two to relieve guard, and four by the west, and two to relieve guard at the pathway.
19 These are the divisions of the porters for the sons of Core, and to the sons of Merari.
20 And the Levites their brethren were over the treasures of the house of the Lord, and over the treasures of the hallowed things.
21 These were the sons of Ladan, the sons of the Gersonite: to Ladan belonged the heads of the families: the son of Ladan the Gersonite was Jeiel.
22 The sons of Jeiel were Zethom, and Joel; brethren who were over the treasures of the house of the Lord.
23 To Ambram and Issaar belonged Chebron, and Oziel.
24 And Subael the son of Gersam, the son of Moses, was over the treasures.
25 And Rabias was son to his brother Eliezer, and so was Josias, and Joram, and Zechri, and Salomoth.
26 This Salomoth and his brethren were over all the sacred treasures, which David the king and the heads of families consecrated, and the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and princes of the host,
27 things which he took out of cities and from the spoils, and consecrated some of them, so that the building of the house of God should not want supplies ;
28 and over all the holy things of God dedicated by Samuel the prophet, and Saul the son of Kis, and Abenner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Saruia, whatsoever they sanctified was by the hand of Salomoth and his brethren.
29 For the Issaarites, Chonenia, and his sons were over the outward ministration over Israel, to record and to judge.
30 For the Chebronites, Asabias and his brethren, a thousand and seven hundred mighty men, were over the charge of Israel beyond Jordan westward, for all the service of the Lord and work of the king.
31 Of the family of Chebron Urias was chief, even of the Chebronites according to their generations, according to their families. In the fortieth year of his reign they were numbered, and there were found mighty men among them in Jazer of Galaad.
32 And his brethren were two thousand seven hundred mighty men, chiefs of their families, and king David set them over the Rubenites, and the Gaddites, and the half-tribe of Manasse, for every ordinance of the Lord, and business of the king.
