Genesis Chapter 39 (Index)

001  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.

002  Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their cities were, the Israelites, the priests, Levites, and the Nethinims.

003  And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and Manasseh;

004  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.

005  And of the Shilonites; Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons.

006  And of the sons of Zerah; Jeuel, and their brethren, six hundred and ninety.

007  And of the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah,

008  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;

009  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.

010  And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin,

011  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;

012  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;

013  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.

014  And of the Levites; Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;

015  And Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph;

016  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.

017  And the porters were, Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum was the chief;

018  Who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward: they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi.

019  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.

020  And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the LORD was with him.

021  And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

022  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.

023  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.

024  In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.

025  And their brethren, which were in their villages, were to come after seven days from time to time with them.

026  For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.

027  And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them.

028  And certain of them had the charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by tale.

029  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.

030  And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices.

031  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.

032  And other of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the showbread, to prepare it every sabbath.

033  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.

034  These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.

035  And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name was Maachah:

036  And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab,

037  And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.

038  And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, over against their brethren.

039  And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.

040  And the son of Jonathan was Meribbaal: and Meribbaal begat Micah.

041  And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, and Ahaz.

042  And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;

043  And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son.

044  And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan: these were the sons of Azel.
