1Quanto alle classi de’ portinai, v’erano: dei Korahiti: Mescelemia, figliuolo di Kore, dei figliuoli d’Asaf. 2Figliuoli di Mescelemia: Zaccaria, il primogenito, Jediael il secondo, Zebadia il terzo, Jathniel il quarto, 3Elam il quinto, Johanan il sesto, Eliehoenai il settimo. 4Figliuoli di Obed-Edom: Scemaia, il primogenito, Jehozabad il secondo, Joah il terzo, Sacar il quarto, Nethanel il quinto, 5Ammiel il sesto, Issacar il settimo, Peullethai l’ottavo; poiché Dio l’avea benedetto. 6E a Scemaia, suo figliuolo, nacquero dei figliuoli che signoreggiarono sulla casa del padre loro, perché erano uomini forti e valorosi. 7Figliuoli di Scemaia: Othni, Refael, Obed, Elzabad e i suoi fratelli, uomini valorosi, Elihu e Semachia. 8Tutti questi erano figliuoli di Obed-Edom; essi, i loro figliuoli e i loro fratelli erano uomini valenti e pieni di forza per il servizio: sessantadue di Obed-Edom. 9Mescelemia ebbe figliuoli e fratelli, uomini valenti, in numero di diciotto. 10Hosa, de’ figliuoli di Merari, ebbe per figliuoli: Scimri il capo che il padre avea fatto capo, quantunque non fosse il primogenito 11Hilkia il secondo, Tebalia il terzo, Zaccaria il quarto. Tutti i figliuoli e i fratelli di Hosa erano in numero di tredici. 12A queste classi di portinai, ai capi di questi uomini, come anche ai loro fratelli, fu affidato l’incarico del servizio della casa dell’Eterno. 13E tirarono a sorte, per ciascuna porta: i più piccoli come i più grandi, nell’ordine delle loro case patriarcali. 14Per il lato d’oriente la sorte designò Scelemia. Si tirò poi a sorte per Zaccaria, suo figliuolo, ch’era un consigliere di senno; e la sorte designò lui per il lato di settentrione. 15Per il lato di mezzogiorno, la sorte designò Obed-Edom; e per i magazzini designò i suoi figliuoli. 16Per il lato d’occidente, con la porta Shalleketh, sulla via che sale, la sorte designò Shuppim e Hosa: erano due posti di guardia, uno dirimpetto all’altro. 17A oriente v’erano sei Leviti; al settentrione, quattro per giorno; a mezzodì, quattro per giorno, e quattro ai magazzini, due per ogni ingresso; 18al recinto del tempio, a occidente, ve n’erano addetti quattro per la strada, due per il recinto. 19Queste sono le classi dei portinai, scelti tra i figliuoli di Kore e i figliuoli di Merari. 20I Leviti, loro fratelli, erano preposti ai tesori della casa di Dio e ai tesori delle cose consacrate. 21I figliuoli di Laedan, i figliuoli dei Ghershoniti discesi da Laedan, i capi delle case patriarcali di Laedan il Ghershonita, cioè Jehieli; 22e i figliuoli di Jehieli: Zetham e Joel suo fratello, erano preposti ai tesori della casa dell’Eterno. 23Fra gli Amramiti, gli Jtsehariti, gli Hebroniti e gli Uzzieliti, 24Scebuel, figliuolo di Ghershom, figliuolo di Mosè, era sovrintendente dei tesori. 25Tra i suoi fratelli per il tramite di Eliezer, che ebbe per figliuolo Rehabia, ch’ebbe per figliuolo Isaia, ch’ebbe per figliuolo Joram, ch’ebbe per figliuolo Zicri, ch’ebbe per figliuolo Scelomith, 26questo Scelomith e i suoi fratelli erano preposti a tutti i tesori delle cose sacre, che il re Davide, i capi delle case patriarcali, i capi di migliaia e di centinaia e i capi dell’esercito aveano consacrate 27(prelevandole dal bottino di guerra per il mantenimento della casa dell’Eterno), 28e a tutto quello ch’era stato consacrato da Samuele, il veggente, da Saul, figliuolo di Kis, da Abner, figliuolo di Ner, e da Joab, figliuolo di Tseruia. Chiunque consacrava qualcosa l’affidava alle mani di Scelomith e de’ suoi fratelli. 29Fra gli Jtshariti, Kenania e i suoi figliuoli erano addetti agli affari estranei al tempio, come magistrati e giudici in Israele. 30Fra gli Hebroniti, Hashabia e i suoi fratelli, uomini valorosi, in numero di millesettecento furono preposti alla sorveglianza d’Israele, di qua dal Giordano, a occidente, per tutti gli affari che concernevano l’Eterno, e per il servizio del re. 31Fra gli Hebroniti (circa gli Hebroniti, l’anno quarantesimo del regno di Davide si fecero delle ricerche relative alle loro genealogie, secondo le loro case patriarcali, e si trovaron fra loro degli uomini forti e valorosi a Jaezer in Galaad) 32v’erano il capo Ieria e i suoi fratelli, uomini valorosi, in numero di duemila settecento capi di case patriarcali; e il re Davide affidò loro la sorveglianza dei Rubeniti, dei Gaditi, della mezza tribù di Manasse, per tutte le cose concernenti Dio e per tutti gli affari del re.

Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counselor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward. 15To Obed-Edom southward; and to his sons the storehouse. 16To Shuppim and Hosah westward, by the gate of Shallecheth, at the causeway that goes up, watch against watch. 17Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and for the storehouse two and two. 18For Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar. 19These were the divisions of the doorkeepers; of the sons of the Korahites, and of the sons of Merari. 20Of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of God’s house, and over the treasures of the dedicated things. 21The sons of Ladan, the sons of the Gershonites belonging to Ladan, the heads of the fathers’ households belonging to Ladan the Gershonite: Jehieli. 22The sons of Jehieli: Zetham, and Joel his brother, over the treasures of Yahweh’s house. 23Of the Amramites, of the Izharites, of the Hebronites, of the Uzzielites: 24and Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler over the treasures. 25His brothers: of Eliezer, Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomoth his son. 26This Shelomoth and his brothers were over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the heads of the fathers’ households, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the army, had dedicated. 27They dedicated some of the plunder won in battles to repair Yahweh’s house. 28All that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated, whoever had dedicated anything, it was under the hand of Shelomoth, and of his brothers. 29Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward business over Israel, for officers and judges. 30Of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brothers, men of valor, one thousand seven hundred, had the oversight of Israel beyond the Jordan westward, for all the business of Yahweh, and for the service of the king. 31Of the Hebronites was Jerijah the chief, even of the Hebronites, according to their generations by fathers’ households. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought for, and there were found among them mighty men of valor at Jazer of Gilead. 32His brothers, men of valor, were two thousand seven hundred, heads of fathers’ households, whom king David made overseers over the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of the Manassites, for every matter pertaining to God, and for the affairs of the king.
