1 Chronicles 26:2-14

2Meshelemiah had sons: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,

3Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, and Eliehoenai the seventh.

4Obed-edom also had sons: Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sachar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth,

5Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, and Peullethai the eighth, for God blessed him.

6Also, to his son Shemaiah were born sons who ruled their ancestral families because they were strong, capable men.

7Shemaiah’s sons: Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad; his relatives Elihu and Semachiah were also capable men.

8All of these were among the sons of Obed-edom with their sons and relatives; they were capable men with strength for the work — sixty-two from Obed-edom.

9Meshelemiah also had sons and relatives who were capable men — eighteen.

10Hosah, from the Merarites, also had sons: Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father had appointed him as the first),

11Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, and Zechariah the fourth. The sons and relatives of Hosah were thirteen in all.

12These divisions of the gatekeepers, under their leading men, had duties for ministering in the Lord’s temple, just as their relatives did.

13They cast lots for each temple gate according to their ancestral families, young and old alike.

14The lot for the east gate fell to Shelemiah. They also cast lots for his son Zechariah, an insightful counselor, and his lot came out for the north gate.
