1 And king David and the captains of the host appointed to their services the sons of Asaph, and of Aeman, and of Idithun, prophesiers with harps, and lutes, and cymbals: and their number was according to their polls serving in their ministrations.
2 The sons of Asaph; Sacchur, Joseph, and Nathanias, and Erael: the sons of Asaph were next the king.
3 To Idithun were reckoned the sons of Idithun, Godolias, and Suri, and Iseas, and Asabias, and Matthathias, six after their father Idithun, sounding loudly on the harp thanksgiving and praise to the Lord.
4 To Aeman were reckoned the sons of Aeman, Bukias, and Matthanias, and Oziel, and Subael, and Jerimoth, and Ananias, and Anan, and Heliatha, and Godollathi, and Rometthiezer, and Jesbasaca, and Mallithi, and Otheri, and Meazoth.
5 All these were the sons of Aeman the king's chief player in the praises of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Aeman fourteen sons, and three daughters.
6 All these sang hymns with their father in the house of God, with cymbals, and lutes, and harps, for the service of the house of God, near the king, and Asaph, and Idithun, and Aeman.
7 And the number of them after their brethren, those instructed to sing to God, every one that understood singing was two hundred and eighty-eight.
8 And they also cast lots for the daily courses, for the great and the small of them, of the perfect ones and the learners.
9 And the first lot of his sons and of his brethren came forth to Asaph the son of Joseph, namely, Godolias: the second Heneia, his sons and his brethren being twelve.
10 The third Zacchur, his sons and his brethren were twelve:
11 the fourth Jesri, his sons and his brethren were twelve:
12 the fifth Nathan, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
13 the sixth Bukias, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
14 the seventh Iseriel, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
15 the eighth Josia, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
16 the ninth Matthanias, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
17 the tenth Semeia, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
18 the eleventh Asriel, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
19 the twelfth Asabia, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
20 the thirteenth Subael, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
21 the fourteenth Matthathias, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
22 the fifteenth Jerimoth, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
23 the sixteenth Anania, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
24 the seventeenth Jesbasaca, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
25 the eighteenth Ananias, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
26 the nineteenth Mallithi, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
27 the twentieth Heliatha, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
28 the twenty-first Otheri, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
29 the twenty-second Godollathi, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
30 the twenty-third Meazoth, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
31 the twenty-fourth Rometthiezer, his sons and his brethren, twelve:
26 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.
