People of Jerusalem
1So all Israel was enrolled by genealogies; and behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. And (A)Judah was carried away into exile to Babylon for their unfaithfulness.
2(B)Now the first who lived in their possessions in their cities were Israel, the priests, the Levites and (C)the temple servants.
3Some of the sons of Judah, of the sons of Benjamin and of the sons of Ephraim and Manasseh lived in (D)Jerusalem:
19Shallum 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.
22All these who were chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds were 212. These were enrolled by genealogy in their villages, (M)whom David and Samuel the seer appointed (N)in their office of trust.
23So they and their sons had charge of the gates of the house of the LORD, even the house of the tent, as guards.
24The gatekeepers were on the four sides, to the east, west, north and south.
25Their relatives in their villages (O)were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them;
26for the four chief gatekeepers who were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God.
