New American Standard Bible (NASB)
1 Chronicles 9
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 Of 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 Zichri, the son of Asaph,
16 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.
17 Now the gatekeepers were Shallum and Akkub and Talmon and Ahiman and their relatives (Shallum the chief
18 being stationed until now at the 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 Ebiasaph, 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 Lord, keepers of the entrance.
20 Phinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them previously, and the Lord was with him.
21 Zechariah 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, whom David and Samuel the seer appointed in their office of trust.
23 So they and their sons had charge of the gates of the house of the Lord, even the house of the tent, as guards.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
