Chapter 9 of 1 Chronicles—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ So all Israel was enrolled by genealogies; and behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. And 1Judah was carried away into exile to Babylon for their unfaithfulness.
  2. 2Now the first who lived in their possessions in their cities were Israel, the priests, the Levites and 3the [a]temple servants.
  3. Some of the sons of Judah, of the sons of Benjamin and of the sons of Ephraim and Manasseh lived in 4Jerusalem:
  4. Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, from the sons of Perez the 5son of Judah.
  5. From the Shilonites were Asaiah the firstborn and his sons.
  6. From the sons of Zerah were Jeuel and their [b]relatives, 690 of them.
  7. From the sons of Benjamin were 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 relatives according to their generations, 6956. All these were heads of fathers’ households according to their fathers’ houses.
  10. 7From the priests were Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, Jachin,
  11. and [c]Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, 8the chief officer 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 relatives, heads of their fathers’ households, 1,760 very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
  14. 9Of the Levites were 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 [d]Zichri, the son of Asaph,
  16. and [e]Obadiah the son of [f]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. ¶ Now the gatekeepers were [g]Shallum and Akkub and Talmon and Ahiman and their relatives (Shallum the chief
  18. being stationed until now at 10the king’s gate to the east). These were the gatekeepers for the camp of the sons of Levi.
  19. Shallum the son of Kore, the son of [h]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.
  20. 11Phinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them previously, and the LORD was with him.
  21. 12Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper of the entrance of the tent of meeting.
  22. All these who were chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds were 212. These were enrolled by genealogy in their villages, 13whom David and Samuel the seer appointed 14in their office of trust.
  23. So they and their sons [i]had charge of the gates of the house of the LORD, even the house of the tent, as guards.
  24. The gatekeepers were [j]on the four sides, to the east, west, north and south.
  25. Their relatives in their villages 15were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with [k]them;
  26. for 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.
  27. They spent the night around the house of God, 16because the watch was [l]committed to them; and they were [m]in charge of opening it morning by morning.
  28. ¶ Now some of them [n]had charge of the utensils of service, for [o]they counted them when they brought them in and when they took them out.
  29. Some of them also were appointed over the furniture and over all the utensils of the sanctuary and 17over the fine flour and the wine and the oil and the frankincense and the spices.
  30. Some of 18the sons of the priests prepared the mixing of the spices.
  31. Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had 19the [p]responsibility over the things which were baked in pans.
  32. Some of their relatives of the sons of the Kohathites 20were over the showbread to prepare it every sabbath.
  33. ¶ Now these are 21the singers, heads of fathers’ households of the Levites, who lived in the chambers of the temple free from other service; for they were [q]engaged 22in their work day and night.
  34. These were heads of fathers’ households of the Levites according to their generations, chief men, [r]who lived in Jerusalem.
  35. 23In Gibeon Jeiel the father of Gibeon lived, and his wife’s name was Maacah,
  36. and his firstborn son was Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab,
  37. Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah and Mikloth.
  38. Mikloth became the father of Shimeam. And they also lived with their relatives in Jerusalem opposite their other relatives.
  39. 24Ner became the father of Kish, and Kish became the father of Saul, and Saul became the father of Jonathan, Malchi-shua, Abinadab and Eshbaal.
  40. The son of Jonathan was Merib-baal; and Merib-baal became the father of Micah.
  41. The sons of Micah were Pithon, Melech, Tahrea 25and Ahaz.
  42. Ahaz became the father of Jarah, and Jarah became the father of Alemeth, Azmaveth and Zimri; and Zimri became the father of Moza,
  43. and Moza became the father of Binea and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son.
  44. Azel had six sons whose names are these: Azrikam, Bocheru and Ishmael and Sheariah and Obadiah and Hanan. These were the sons of Azel.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
