1 Chronicles 9

The people who resettled Jerusalem

וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל הִתְיַחְשׂוּ וְהִנָּם כְּתוּבִים עַל-סֵפֶר מַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וִֽיהוּדָה הָגְלוּ לְבָבֶל בְּמַֽעֲלָֽם׃
1
So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they were written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, who were carried away to Babylon for their transgression.
וְהַיּֽוֹשְׁבִים הָרִאשֹׁנִים אֲשֶׁר בַּֽאֲחֻזָּתָם בְּעָֽרֵיהֶם יִשְׂרָאֵל הַכֹּהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם וְהַנְּתִינִֽים׃
2
Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their cities were, the Israelites, the priests, Levites, and the Nethinims.
וּבִירֽוּשָׁלִַם יָֽשְׁבוּ מִן-בְּנֵי יְהוּדָה וּמִן-בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן וּמִן-בְּנֵי אֶפְרַיִם וּמְנַשֶּֽׁה׃
3
And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and Manasseh;
עוּתַי בֶּן-עַמִּיהוּד בֶּן-עָמְרִי בֶּן-אִמְרִי בֶן-‫(בנימן)‬ בָּנִי-מִן-בְּנֵי-פֶרֶץ בֶּן-יְהוּדָֽה׃
4
Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the children of Pharez the son of Judah.
וּמִן-הַשִּׁילוֹנִי עֲשָׂיָה הַבְּכוֹר וּבָנָֽיו׃
5
And of the Shilonites; Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons.
וּמִן-בְּנֵי-זֶרַח יְעוּאֵל וַֽאֲחֵיהֶם שֵׁשׁ-מֵאוֹת וְתִשְׁעִֽים׃
6
And of the sons of Zerah; Jeuel, and their brethren, six hundred and ninety.
וּמִן-בְּנֵי בִּנְיָמִן סַלּוּא בֶּן-מְשֻׁלָּם בֶּן-הֽוֹדַוְיָה בֶּן-הַסְּנֻאָֽה׃
7
And of the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah,
וְיִבְנְיָה בֶּן-יְרֹחָם וְאֵלָה בֶן-עֻזִּי בֶּן-מִכְרִי וּמְשֻׁלָּם בֶּן-שְׁפַטְיָה בֶּן-רְעוּאֵל בֶּן-יִבְנִיָּֽה׃
8
And Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephathiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah;

9
And their brethren, according to their generations, nine hundred and fifty and six. All these men were chief of the fathers in the house of their fathers.

The priests and Levites in Jerusalem

וּמִן-הַֽכֹּהֲנִים יְדַעְיָה וִיהֽוֹיָרִיב וְיָכִֽין׃
10
And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin,
וַֽעֲזַרְיָה בֶן-חִלְקִיָּה בֶּן-מְשֻׁלָּם בֶּן-צָדוֹק בֶּן-מְרָיוֹת בֶּן-אֲחִיטוּב נְגִיד בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
11
And Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God;
וַֽעֲדָיָה בֶּן-יְרֹחָם בֶּן-פַּשְׁחוּר בֶּן-מַלְכִּיָּה וּמַעְשַׂי בֶּן-עֲדִיאֵל בֶּן-יַחְזֵרָה בֶּן-מְשֻׁלָּם בֶּן-מְשִׁלֵּמִית בֶּן-אִמֵּֽר׃
12
And Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasiai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer;

13
And their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
וּמִֽן-הַלְוִיִּם שְׁמַֽעְיָה בֶן-חַשּׁוּב בֶּן-עַזְרִיקָם בֶּן-חֲשַׁבְיָה מִן-בְּנֵי מְרָרִֽי׃
14
And of the Levites; 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 Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph;
וְעֹֽבַדְיָה בֶּֽן-שְׁמַעְיָה בֶּן-גָּלָל בֶּן-יְדוּתוּן וּבֶֽרֶכְיָה בֶן-אָסָא בֶּן-אֶלְקָנָה הַיּוֹשֵׁב בְּחַצְרֵי נְטֽוֹפָתִֽי׃

And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites.

The gatekeepers and their duties

וְהַשֹּֽׁעֲרִים שַׁלּוּם וְעַקּוּב וְטַלְמֹן וַֽאֲחִימָן וַֽאֲחִיהֶם שַׁלּוּם הָרֹֽאשׁ׃
17
And the porters were, Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum was the chief;
וְֽעַד-הֵנָּה בְּשַׁעַר הַמֶּלֶךְ מִזְרָחָה הֵמָּה הַשֹּׁעֲרִים לְמַֽחֲנוֹת בְּנֵי לֵוִֽי׃
18
Who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward: they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi.
וְשַׁלּוּם בֶּן-קוֹרֵא בֶּן-אֶבְיָסָף בֶּן-קֹרַח וְֽאֶחָיו לְבֵית-אָבִיו הַקָּרְחִים עַל מְלֶאכֶת הָֽעֲבוֹדָה שֹֽׁמְרֵי הַסִּפִּים לָאֹהֶל וַאֲבֹֽתֵיהֶם עַל-מַֽחֲנֵה יְהוָה שֹֽׁמְרֵי הַמָּבֽוֹא׃
19
And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the host of the LORD, were keepers of the entry.
וּפִֽינְחָס בֶּן-אֶלְעָזָר נָגִיד הָיָה עֲלֵיהֶם לְפָנִים יְהוָה׀ עִמּֽוֹ׃
20
And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the LORD was with him.
זְכַרְיָה בֶּן מְשֶֽׁלֶמְיָה שֹׁעֵר פֶּתַח לְאֹהֶל מוֹעֵֽד׃
21
And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
כֻּלָּם הַבְּרוּרִים לְשֹֽׁעֲרִים בַּסִּפִּים מָאתַיִם וּשְׁנֵים עָשָׂר הֵמָּה בְחַצְרֵיהֶם הִתְיַחְשָׂם הֵמָּה יִסַּד דָּוִיד וּשְׁמוּאֵל הָֽרֹאֶה בֶּאֱמֽוּנָתָֽם׃
22
All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office.
וְהֵם וּבְנֵיהֶם עַל-הַשְּׁעָרִים לְבֵית-יְהוָה לְבֵית הָאֹהֶל לְמִשְׁמָרֽוֹת׃
23
So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by wards.
לְאַרְבַּע רוּחוֹת יִֽהְיוּ הַשֹּֽׁעֲרִים מִזְרָח יָמָּה צָפוֹנָה וָנֶֽגְבָּה׃
24
In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.
וַֽאֲחֵיהֶם בְּחַצְרֵיהֶם לָבוֹא לְשִׁבְעַת הַיָּמִים מֵעֵת אֶל-עֵת עִם-אֵֽלֶּה׃
25
And their brethren, which were in their villages, were to come after seven days from time to time with them.
כִּי בֶֽאֱמוּנָה הֵמָּה אַרְבַּעַת גִּבֹּרֵי הַשֹּֽׁעֲרִים הֵם הַלְוִיִּם וְהָיוּ עַל-הַלְּשָׁכוֹת וְעַל הָאֹֽצְרוֹת בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
26
For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
וּסְבִיבוֹת בֵּית-הָֽאֱלֹהִים יָלִינוּ כִּֽי-עֲלֵיהֶם מִשְׁמֶרֶת וְהֵם עַל-הַמַּפְתֵּחַ וְלַבֹּקֶר לַבֹּֽקֶר׃
27
And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them.

Levites in charge of vessels, offerings, and music

וּמֵהֶם עַל-כְּלֵי הָֽעֲבוֹדָה כִּֽי-בְמִסְפָּר יְבִיאוּם וּבְמִסְפָּר יֽוֹצִיאֽוּם׃
28
And certain of them had the charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by tale.
וּמֵהֶם מְמֻנִּים עַל-הַכֵּלִים וְעַל כָּל-כְּלֵי הַקֹּדֶשׁ וְעַל-הַסֹּלֶת וְהַיַּיִן וְהַשֶּׁמֶן וְהַלְּבוֹנָה וְהַבְּשָׂמִֽים׃
29
Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
וּמִן-בְּנֵי הַכֹּהֲנִים רֹֽקְחֵי הַמִּרְקַחַת לַבְּשָׂמִֽים׃
30
And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices.
וּמַתִּתְיָה מִן-הַלְוִיִּם הוּא הַבְּכוֹר לְשַׁלֻּם הַקָּרְחִי בֶּֽאֱמוּנָה עַל מַֽעֲשֵׂה הַֽחֲבִתִּֽים׃
31
And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were made in the pans.
וּמִן-בְּנֵי הַקְּהָתִי מִן-אֲחֵיהֶם עַל-לֶחֶם הַֽמַּעֲרָכֶת לְהָכִין שַׁבַּת שַׁבָּֽת׃
32
And other of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath.
וְאֵלֶּה הַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים רָאשֵׁי אָבוֹת לַלְוִיִּם בַּלְּשָׁכֹת ‫(פטירים)‬ פְּטוּרִים כִּֽי-יוֹמָם וָלַיְלָה עֲלֵיהֶם בַּמְּלָאכָֽה׃
33
And these are the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites, who remaining in the chambers were free: for they were employed in that work day and night.
אֵלֶּה רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לַלְוִיִּם לְתֹֽלְדוֹתָם רָאשִׁים אֵלֶּה יָֽשְׁבוּ בִירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
34
These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.

The family of Saul at Gibeon

וּבְגִבְעוֹן יָֽשְׁבוּ אֲבִֽי-גִבְעוֹן ‫(יעואל)‬ יְעִיאֵל וְשֵׁם אִשְׁתּוֹ מַֽעֲכָֽה׃
35
And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name was Maachah:
וּבְנוֹ הַבְּכוֹר עַבְדּוֹן וְצוּר וְקִישׁ וּבַעַל וְנֵר וְנָדָֽב׃
36
And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab,
וּגְדוֹר וְאַחְיוֹ וּזְכַרְיָה וּמִקְלֽוֹת׃
37
And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.
וּמִקְלוֹת הוֹלִיד אֶת-שִׁמְאָם וְאַף-הֵם נֶגֶד אֲחֵיהֶם יָֽשְׁבוּ בִירֽוּשָׁלִַם עִם-אֲחֵיהֶֽם׃
38
And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, over against their brethren.
וְנֵר הוֹלִיד אֶת-קִישׁ וְקִישׁ הוֹלִיד אֶת-שָׁאוּל וְשָׁאוּל הוֹלִיד אֶת-יְהֽוֹנָתָן וְאֶת-מַלְכִּי-שׁוּעַ וְאֶת-אֲבִֽינָדָב וְאֶת-אֶשְׁבָּֽעַל׃
39
And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchi-shua, and Abinadab, and Esh-baal.
וּבֶן-יְהֽוֹנָתָן מְרִיב בָּעַל וּמְרִי-בַעַל הוֹלִיד אֶת-מִיכָֽה׃
40
And the son of Jonathan was Merib-baal: and Merib-baal begat Micah.
וּבְנֵי מִיכָה פִּיתֹן וָמֶלֶךְ וְתַחְרֵֽעַ׃
41
And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, and Ahaz.
וְאָחָז הוֹלִיד אֶת-יַעְרָה וְיַעְרָה הוֹלִיד אֶת-עָלֶמֶת וְאֶת-עַזְמָוֶת וְאֶת-זִמְרִי וְזִמְרִי הוֹלִיד אֶת-מוֹצָֽא׃
42
And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;
וּמוֹצָא הוֹלִיד אֶת-בִּנְעָא וּרְפָיָה בְנוֹ אֶלְעָשָׂה בְנוֹ אָצֵל בְּנֽוֹ׃
43
And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son.
וּלְאָצֵל שִׁשָּׁה בָנִים וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹתָם עַזְרִיקָם׀ בֹּכְרוּ וְיִשְׁמָעֵאל וּשְׁעַרְיָה וְעֹֽבַדְיָה וְחָנָן אֵלֶּה בְּנֵי אָצַֽל׃
44
