father’s couch,
his birthright
was given to the
sons of Joseph
the son of
Israel; and the
genealogy is not
to be reckoned
after the
birthright.

prevailed above
his brothers,

lived in Aroer,
even to Nebo and

because their
livestock were
multiplied in
the land of
Gilead.
10
In the days of

39
They went to the
entrance of
Gedor, even to
the east side of
the valley, to
seek pasture for
their flocks.
40
They found fat
pasture and
good, and the
land was wide,
and quiet, and
peaceable; for
those who lived
there before
were of Ham.
41
These written by
name came in the
days of Hezekiah
king of Judah,
and struck their
tents, and the
Meunim who were
found there, and
destroyed them
utterly to this
day, and lived
in their place;
because there
was pasture
there for their
flocks.
42
Some of them,
even of the sons
of Simeon, five
hundred men,
went to Mount
Seir, having for
their captains
Pelatiah, and

19. Appendix:
Additional
Historical
Statements.
(1) War of the
three
Transjordanic
Tribes with Arab
Nations.
1 Chronicles
5:18-22.
18
The sons of
Reuben, and the
Gadites, and the
half-tribe of
Manasseh, of
valiant men, men
able to bear
buckler and
sword, and to
shoot with bow,
and skillful in
war, were
forty-four
thousand seven
hundred and
sixty, that were
able to go forth
to war.
19
They made war
with the
Hagrites, with
Jetur, and
Naphish, and
Nodab.
20
They were helped
against them,
and the Hagrites
were delivered
into their hand,
and all who were
with them; for
they cried to
God in the
battle, and he
was entreated of
them, because
they put their
trust in him.
21
They took away
their livestock;
of their camels
fifty thousand,
and of sheep two
hundred fifty
thousand, and of
donkeys two
thousand, and of
men one hundred
thousand.
22
For there fell
many slain,
because the war
was of God. They
lived in their
place until the
captivity.

(2) The
Inhabitants of
Jerusalem.
1 Chronicles
9:2-34,1a.
2
Now the first
inhabitants who
lived in their
possessions in
their cities
were Israel, the
priests, the
Levites, and the
Nethinim.
3
In Jerusalem
lived of the
children of
Judah, and of
the children of
Benjamin, and of
the children of
Ephraim and
Manasseh:
4
Uthai the son of
Ammihud, the son
of Omri, the son
of Imri, the son
of Bani, of the
children of
Perez the son of
Judah.
5
Of the
Shilonites:
Asaiah the
firstborn, and
his sons.
6
Of the sons of
Zerah: Jeuel,
and their
brothers, six
hundred ninety.
7
Of the sons of
Benjamin: Sallu
the son of
Meshullam, the
son of Hodaviah,
the son of
Hassenuah,
8
and Ibneiah the
son of Jeroham,
and Elah the son
of Uzzi, the son
of Michri, and
Meshullam the
son of
Shephatiah, the
son of Reuel,
the son of
Ibnijah;
9
and their
brothers,
according to
their
generations,
nine hundred
fifty-six. All
these men were
heads of
fathers’
households by
their fathers’
houses.
10
Of the priests:
Jedaiah, and
Jehoiarib,
Jachin,
11
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;
12
and Adaiah the
son of Jeroham,
the son of
Pashhur, the son
of Malchijah,
and Maasai the
son of Adiel,
the son of
Jahzerah, the
son of Meshullam,
the son of
Meshillemith,
the son of Immer;
13
and their
brothers, heads
of their
fathers’ houses,
one thousand
seven hundred
sixty; very able
men for the work
of the service
of the house of
God.
14
Of the Levites:
Shemaiah the son
of Hasshub, the
son of Azrikam,
the son of
Hashabiah, of
the sons of
Merari;
15
and Bakbakkar,
Heresh, and
Galal, and
Mattaniah the
son of Mica, the
son of Zichri,
the son of Asaph,
16
and Obadiah the
son of Shemaiah,
the son of Galal,
the son of
Jeduthun, and
Berechiah the
son of Asa, the
son of Elkanah,
who lived in the
villages of the
Netophathites.
17
The porters:
Shallum, and
Akkub, and
Talmon, and
Ahiman, and
their brothers (Shallum
was the chief),
18
who previously
served in the
king’s gate
eastward: they
were the porters
for the camp of
the children of
Levi.
19
Shallum the son
of Kore, the son
of Ebiasaph, the
son of Korah,
and his
brothers, 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
Yahweh, keepers
of the entry.
20
Phinehas the son
of Eleazar was
ruler over them
in time past,
and Yahweh was
with him.
21
Zechariah the
son of
Meshelemiah was
porter of the
door of the Tent
of Meeting.
22
All these who
were chosen to
be porters in
the thresholds
were two hundred
and twelve.
These were
reckoned by
genealogy in
their villages,
whom David and
Samuel the seer
ordained in
their office of
trust.
23
So they and
their children
had the
oversight of the
gates of the
house of Yahweh,
even the house
of the tent, by
wards.
24
On the four
sides were the
porters, toward
the east, west,
north, and
south.
25
Their brothers,
in their
villages, were
to come in every
seven days from
time to time to
be with them:
26
for the four
chief porters,
who were
Levites, were in
an office of
trust, and were
over the rooms
and over the
treasuries in
the house of
God.
27
They lodged
around the house
of God, because
that duty was on
them; and to
them pertained
its opening
morning by
morning.
28
Certain of them
were in charge
of the vessels
of service; for
by count were
these brought in
and by count
were these taken
out.
29
Some of them
also were
appointed over
the furniture,
and over all the
vessels of the
sanctuary, and
over the fine
flour, and the
wine, and the
oil, and the
frankincense,
and the spices.
30
Some of the sons
of the priests
prepared the
confection of
the spices.
31
Mattithiah, one
of the Levites,
who was the
firstborn of
Shallum the
Korahite, had
the office of
trust over the
things that were
baked in pans.
32
Some of their
brothers, of the
sons of the
Kohathites, were
over the show
bread, to
prepare it every
Sabbath.
33
These are the
singers, heads
of fathers’
households of
the Levites, who
lived in the
rooms and were
free from other
service; for
they were
employed in
their work day
and night.
34
These were heads
of fathers’
households of
the Levites,
throughout their
generations,
chief men: these
lived at
Jerusalem.
1a
So all Israel
were reckoned by
genealogies; and
behold, they are
written in the
book of the
kings of
Israel:... |
