1 Chronicles 26:13
Compare all
11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth; all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.
12 Among these were the divisions of the gatekeepers, among the chief men, having duties just like their brethren, to serve in the house of the Lord.
13 And they acast lots for each gate, the small as well as the great, according to their father’s house.  
14 The lot for the East Gate fell to1 Shelemiah. Then they cast lots for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and his lot came out for the North Gate;  
15 to Obed-Edom the South Gate, and to his sons the1 storehouse.  
16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came out for the West Gate, with the Shallecheth Gate on the aascending highway—watchman opposite watchman.  
17 On the east were six Levites, on the north four each day, on the south four each day, and for the1 storehouse two by two.  
18 As for the1 Parbar on the west, there were four on the highway and two at the Parbar.  
19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers among the sons of Korah and among the sons of Merari.

I & II Chronicles

THE FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS OF CHRONICLES were also considered as one by the ancient Jews, who called them "words of days," that is, diaries or journals, being probably compiled from those registers that were kept by the king's historiographers of passing occurrences. In the Septuagint the title given them is Paraleipomenon, "of things omitted," that is, the books are supplementary because many things unnoticed in the former books are here recorded; and not only the omissions are supplied, but some narratives extended while others are added. The authorship is commonly ascribed to Ezra, whose leading object seems to have been to show the division of families, possessions, etc., before the captivity, with a view to the exact restoration of the same order after the return from Babylon. Although many things are restated and others are exact repetitions of what is contained in Kings, there is so much new and important information that, as JEROME has well said, the Chronicles furnish the means of comprehending parts of the New Testament, which must have been unintelligible without them. They are frequently referred to by Christ and the Apostles as forming part of "the Word of God" (see the genealogies in Mat. 1:1-16; Luk. 3:23-38; compare II Chronicles 19:7 with I Peter 1:17; II Chronicles 24:19-21 with Matthew 23:32-35).
