Mabawabu
126:1 1Nya 9:17; Hes 26:9-11; 2Nya 23:19; Hes 16:1-2; 1Nya 15:18; Yud 11; 1Nya 6:39Hii ndiyo migawanyo ya mabawabu:
Kutoka kwa wana wa Kora alikuwa: Meshelemia mwana wa Kore, mmoja wa wana wa Asafu.
226:2 1Nya 9:21Meshelemia alikuwa na wana wafuatao:
Zekaria mzaliwa wa kwanza,
Yediaeli wa pili,
Zebadia wa tatu,
Yathnieli wa nne,
3Elamu wa tano
Yehohanani wa sita
na Eliehoenai wa saba.
4Obed-Edomu naye alikuwa na wana wafuatao:
Shemaya mzaliwa wa kwanza,
Yehozabadi wa pili,
Yoa wa tatu,
Sakari wa nne,
Nethaneli wa tano,
526:5 Mwa 33; 5; 2Sam 5:10; 1Nya 13:13-14; Za 127:3Amieli wa sita,
Isakari wa saba,
na Peulethai wa nane.
(Kwa kuwa Mungu alikuwa amembariki Obed-Edomu.)
6Shemaya mwanawe pia alikuwa na wana, waliokuwa viongozi katika jamaa ya baba yao kwa sababu walikuwa watu wenye uwezo mkubwa. 7Wana wa Shemaya ni: Othni, Refaeli, Obedi na Elizabadi; jamaa zake Elihu na Semakia walikuwa pia watu wenye uwezo. 8Hawa wote walikuwa wazao wa Obed-Edomu; wao na wana wao na jamaa zao walikuwa watu wenye uwezo pamoja na nguvu za kufanya kazi. Wazao wa Obed-Edomu jumla yao walikuwa sitini na wawili.
9Meshelemia alikuwa na wana na jamaa zake, waliokuwa watu wenye uwezo: jumla yao watu kumi na wanane.
1026:10 Kum 21:16-17; 1Nya 16:38; 5:1; Mwa 4:7; 49:3Hosa, Mmerari, alikuwa na wana wafuatao: Shimri alikuwa mkuu wao (baba yake alikuwa amemweka yeye kuwa mkuu ijapokuwa hakuwa mzaliwa wa kwanza), 11Hilkia wa pili, Tabalia wa tatu na Zekaria wa nne. Wana na jamaa za Hosa jumla yao walikuwa watu kumi na watatu.
12Hii migawanyo ya mabawabu, kupitia wakuu wao, walikuwa na zamu za kuhudumu hekaluni mwa Bwana kama jamaa zao walivyokuwa nazo. 1326:13 1Nya 24:5; 25:8; Mit 18:18; Yos 18:10; Yn 1:7; Mdo 1:26; 10:34; Gal 3:28; Kol 3:11Kura zilipigwa kwa kila lango, kufuatana na jamaa zao, wakubwa kwa wadogo.
1426:14 1Nya 9:18-21Kura ya Lango la Mashariki ilimwangukia Shelemia.26:14 Shelemia jina lingine ni Meshelemia. Kisha wakapiga kura kwa Zekaria mwanawe, aliyekuwa mshauri mwenye hekima, nayo kura ya Lango la Kaskazini ikamwangukia. 1526:15 1Nya 13:13; 2Nya 25:24Kura ya Lango la Kusini ikamwangukia Obed-Edomu, nayo kura ya maghala ikawaangukia wanawe. 1626:16 1Fal 10:5; 1Nya 24:31; Neh 12:24; 2Nya 9:4; 1Nya 25:8Kura za Lango la Magharibi na Lango la Shalekethi kwenye barabara ya juu zikawaangukia Shupimu na Hosa.
Zamu za walinzi ziligawanywa kwa usawa: 17Kulikuwa na Walawi sita kila siku upande wa mashariki, wanne upande wa kaskazini, wanne upande wa kusini, na wawili wawili kwa mara moja kwenye ghala. 18Kuhusu ukumbi kuelekea magharibi, kulikuwa na wanne barabarani na wawili kwenye ukumbi wenyewe.
1926:19 Neh 7:1; Eze 44:11Hii ndiyo iliyokuwa migawanyo ya mabawabu waliokuwa wazao wa Kora na wa Merari.

2326:23 Hes 3:27; Kut 6:18; 1Nya 23:12Kutoka kwa wana wa Amramu, wana wa Ishari, wana wa Hebroni na wana wa Uzieli:
2426:24 1Nya 23:16-18; 24:20Shebueli, mzao wa Gershomu mwana wa Mose, alikuwa afisa mwangalizi wa hazina. 2526:25 1Nya 23:18; 24:22Jamaa zake kutoka kwa Eliezeri, wanawe walikuwa: Rehabia, Yeshaya, Yoramu, Zikri na Shelomithi. 2626:26 2Sam 8:11Shelomithi na jamaa zake walikuwa waangalizi wa hazina zote za vitu vile vilivyowekwa wakfu na Mfalme Daudi, kwa viongozi wa jamaa waliokuwa majemadari wa maelfu na majemadari wa mamia, na kwa maafisa wengine wa jeshi. 2726:27 Hes 31:50; Yos 6:19, 24; 1Nya 22:14-16; 2Nya 15:11, 18; 2Fal 12:14; 22:4-5; Neh 10:32Baadhi ya nyara zilizotekwa vitani waliziweka wakfu kwa ajili ya ukarabati wa Hekalu la Bwana. 2826:28 1Sam 9:9Kila kitu kilichokuwa kimewekwa wakfu na Samweli mwonaji, na Sauli mwana wa Kishi, Abneri mwana wa Neri, na Yoabu mwana wa Seruya, pamoja na vitu vingine vyote vilivyokuwa vimewekwa wakfu, vyote vilikuwa chini ya uangalizi wa Shelomithi na jamaa zake.
2926:29 Kum 17:8-13; Neh 11:16; 2Nya 19:8-11; 1Nya 23:4Kutoka kwa wana wa Ishari: Kenania na wanawe walipewa kazi nje ya Hekalu kama maafisa na waamuzi juu ya Israeli.
3026:30 1Nya 27:17Kutoka kwa wana wa Hebroni: Hashabia na jamaa zake, watu 1,700 wenye uwezo, waliwajibika katika Israeli magharibi ya Yordani kwa ajili ya kazi zote za Bwana na utumishi wa mfalme. 3126:31 1Nya 23:19; 2Sam 5:4; Isa 16:9; Yer 48:32; 1Fal 2:11; 1Nya 29:27; Yos 21:39Kuhusu wana wa Hebroni, Yeria alikuwa mkuu wao kufuatana na orodha ya jamaa yao. Katika mwaka wa arobaini wa utawala wa Daudi uchunguzi ulifanyika katika kumbukumbu, nao watu wenye uwezo miongoni mwa wana wa Hebroni wakapatikana huko Yazeri katika Gileadi. 3226:32 2Nya 19:11Yeria alikuwa na jamaa ya watu 2,700 waliokuwa watu wenye uwezo na viongozi wa jamaa, naye Mfalme Daudi akawaweka kuangalia Wareubeni, Wagadi na nusu ya kabila Manase kuhusu kila jambo lililomhusu Mungu na shughuli za mfalme.

Nethanel the fifth, 5Ammiel the sixth,
Issachar the seventh and Peullethai the eighth.
(For God had blessed Obed-Edom.)
6Obed-Edom’s son Shemaiah also had sons, who were leaders in their father’s family because they were very capable men. 7The sons of Shemaiah:
Othni, Rephael, Obed and Elzabad;
his relatives Elihu and Semakiah were also able men.
8All these were descendants of Obed-Edom; they and their sons and their relatives were capable men with the strength to do the work – descendants of Obed-Edom, 62 in all.
9Meshelemiah had sons and relatives, who were able men – 18 in all.
10Hosah the Merarite had sons:
Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father had appointed him the first),
11Hilkiah the second, Tabaliah the third
and Zechariah the fourth.
The sons and relatives of Hosah were 13 in all.
12These divisions of the gatekeepers, through their leaders, had duties for ministering in the temple of the Lord, just as their relatives had. 13Lots were cast for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike.
14The lot for the East Gate fell to Shelemiah.26:14 A variant of Meshelemiah
Then lots were cast for his son Zechariah, a wise counsellor, and the lot for the North Gate fell to him.
15The lot for the South Gate fell to Obed-Edom, and the lot for the storehouse fell to his sons.
16The lots for the West Gate and the Shalleketh Gate on the upper road fell to Shuppim and Hosah.
Guard was alongside guard:
17there were six Levites a day on the east,
four a day on the north,
four a day on the south
and two at a time at the storehouse.
18As for the court26:18 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain. to the west, there were four at the road and two at the court26:18 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain. itself.
19These were the divisions of the gatekeepers who were descendants of Korah and Merari.
The treasurers and other officials
20Their fellow Levites were26:20 Septuagint; Hebrew As for the Levites, Ahijah was in charge of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries for the dedicated things.
21The descendants of Ladan, who were Gershonites through Ladan and who were heads of families belonging to Ladan the Gershonite, were Jehieli, 22the sons of Jehieli, Zetham and his brother Joel. They were in charge of the treasuries of the temple of the Lord.
23From the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites and the Uzzielites:
24Shubael, a descendant of Gershom son of Moses, was the official in charge of the treasuries. 25His relatives through Eliezer: Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zikri his son and Shelomith his son.
26(Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of all the treasuries for the things dedicated by King David, by the heads of families who were the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and by the other army commanders. 27Some of the plunder taken in battle they dedicated for the repair of the temple of the Lord. 28And everything dedicated by Samuel the seer and by Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner and Joab son of Zeruiah, and all the other dedicated things were in the care of Shelomith and his relatives.)
29From the Izharites:
Kenaniah and his sons were assigned duties away from the temple, as officials and judges over Israel.
30From the Hebronites:
Hashabiah and his relatives – seventeen hundred able men – were responsible in Israel west of the Jordan for all the work of the Lord and for the king’s service. 31As for the Hebronites, Jeriah was their chief according to the genealogical records of their families.
(In the fortieth year of David’s reign a search was made in the records, and capable men among the Hebronites were found at Jazer in Gilead. 32Jeriah had two thousand seven hundred relatives, who were able men and heads of families, and King David put them in charge of the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh for every matter pertaining to God and for the affairs of the king.)
