1 Chronicles Chapter 9
Those were all descendants of Benjamin.
1 Ch 8:29-40
1 So Israel was enrolled by genealogies. They’re recorded in The Book of the Kings of Israel. Judah was exiled to Babylon because they were unfaithful.
2 The first to live again in their towns were Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the Temple servants. 3 Some descendants of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh lived in Jerusalem:
4 from the descendants of Perez son of Judah was Uthai son of Ammihud son of Omri son of Imri son of Bani;
5 from the Shilonites were Asaiah the firstborn and his sons;
6 from the sons of Zerah were Jeuel and their relatives: 690;
7 from the descendants of Benjamin were Sallu son of Meshullam son of Hodaviah son of Hassenuah, 8 and Ibneiah son of Jeroham, Elah son of Uzzi son of Michri, and Meshullam son of Shephatiah son of Reuel son of Ibnijah, 9 and their relatives by generations: 956. Those were heads of families. 1 Ch 9:1-9
10 From the priests were Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, Jachin, 11 Azariah son of Hilkiah son of Meshullam son of Zadok son of Meraioth son of Ahitub, the chief officer of God’s Temple; 12 Adaiah son of Jeroham son of Pashhur son of Malchijah, Maasai son of Adiel son of Jahzerah son of Meshullam son of Meshillemith son of Immer, 13 and their relatives, heads of their families: 1,760 capable men for the service of God’s Temple.
14 From the Levites were Shemaiah son of Hasshub son of Azrikam son of Hashabiah from the sons of Merari; 15 Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, Mattaniah son of Mica son of Zichri son of Asaph, 16 Obadiah son of Shemaiah son of Galal son of Jeduthun, Berechiah son of Asa son of Elkanah that lived in the villages of the Netophathites. 1 Ch 9:10-16
17 The gatekeepers were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their relatives, (Shallum the chief) 18 stationed previously at the king’s gate to the east. 19 Shallum son of Kore son of Ebiasaph son of Korah, and his relatives from his family—the Korahites—were over the work of the service, who kept the thresholds of the tent like their ancestors had done over the entrance to the camp of the LORD. 20 Phinehas son of Eleazar ruled them previously; the LORD was with him. 21 Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 22 There were 212 chosen to be gatekeepers in the thresholds. They were enrolled by genealogy in their villages, men that David and Samuel the seer appointed in their office of trust. 23 They and their descendants guarded the gates of the LORD’s house—when it was a tabernacle— 24 on all four sides. 25 Their relatives in their villages were to come in every seven days to be with them. 26 The four chief gatekeepers (Levites) were in an office of trust over the rooms and treasuries in God’s Temple. 27 They spent the night around God’s Temple, because they were responsible for guarding them. They were responsible for opening the gates of the LORD’s house each morning.
28 Some of them were responsible for the utensils for service. They counted them when they brought them in and took them out. 29 Some were appointed to oversee the furniture and utensils for the sanctuary, the fine flour, the wine, oil, frankincense, and spices. 30 Some descendants of the priests mixed the spices. 31 Mattithiah, one of the Levites, the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, was responsible for what was baked in pans. 32 Some relatives of the Kohathites prepared the showbread every Sabbath. 1 Ch 9:17-32
33 These are the singers, heads of families among the Levites. They lived in rooms in the Temple because they were on duty day and night. 34 They were heads of families among the Levites according to their generations, chief men living in Jerusalem.
35 Jeiel father of Gibeon lived in Gibeon; his wife was Maacah. 36 His firstborn was Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab, 37 Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and Mikloth.
38 Mikloth was father of Shimeam/Shimeah. All these families lived near each other in Jerusalem. 1 Ch 9:33-38
39 Ner was father of Kish father of Saul father of Jonathan, Malchi-shua, Abinadab, and Eshbaal.
40 Jonathan was father of Merib-baal father of Micah 41 father of Pithon, Melech,
Tahrea, 42 and Ahaz father of Jarah father of Alemeth, Azmaveth, and
Zimri father of Moza 43 father of Binea, Rephaiah, Eleasah and Azel. 44 Azel had six sons: Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan. 1 Ch 9:39-44
