1 Chronicles 26:8-16
-
8 All these of the sons of Obededom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were threescore and two of Obededom.
-
9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen.
-
10 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;)
-
11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.
-
12 Among these were the divisions of the porters, even among the chief men, having wards one against another, to minister in the house of the LORD.
-
13 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.
-
14 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.
-
15 To Obededom southward; and to his sons the house of Asuppim.
-
16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward against ward.
