26 ¹Imikhosi yabagcini-masango: kwaKora, nguMeshelemiya unyana kaKore, woonyana bakaAsafu. ²UMeshelemiya wayenoonyana: nguZekariya owamazibulo, uYediyeli owesibini, uZebhadiya owesithathu, uYatniyeli owesine, ³uElam owesihlanu, uYehohanan owesithandathu, uEliyehohenayi owesixhenxe. ⁴NoObhedi-edom wayenoonyana: nguShemaya owamazibulo, uYehozabhadi owesibini, uYowa owesithathu, uSakare owesine, uNataniyeli owesihlanu, ⁵uAmiyeli owesithandathu, uIsakare owesixhenxe, uPehuletayi owesibhozo; kuba uBawo wethu wayemsikelele. ⁶NoShemaya unyana wakhe wazalelwa oonyana ababelawula indlu kayise, kuba babengamadoda anobukroti obukhulu. ⁷Oonyana bakaShemaya: nguOtni, noRefayeli, noObhede, noElzabhadi, abazalwana babo uElihu noSemakiya babengamadoda anobunkunkqele. ⁸Bonke aba babephakathi koonyana bakaObhedi-edom—bona, noonyana babo, nabazalwana babo, amadoda omelele anobunkunkqele emsebenzini: ngamashumi amathandathu anamabini kaObhedi-edom. ⁹UMeshelemiya wayenoonyana nabazalwana, amadoda anobunkunkqele—elishumi elinesibhozo ewonke. ¹⁰UHosa, woonyana bakaMerari, wayenoonyana: nguShimri inkulu—nangona ingeyozibulo, uyise wayenza inkulu. ¹¹UHilkiya owesibini, uTebhaliya owesithathu, uZekariya owesine; oonyana nabazalwana bakaHosa babelishumi elinamithathu bonke.

¹²Le mikhosi yabagcini-masango, emiselwe ngamadoda ayiintloko, yayisebenza njengabazalwana bayo endlwini kaBawo wethu. ¹³Bawisa amaqashiso, omncinane nomkhulu bengafani, ngokwezindlu zabo, isango ngesango. ¹⁴Iqashiso lasempumalanga laphuma noShelemiya. Ke unyana wakhe uZekariya, umcebisi osisilumko, bawisa amaqashiso, laphuma iqashiso lakhe lisiya ngasentla. ¹⁵Iqashiso laphuma noObhedi-edom ngasezantsi, indlu yobuncwane yaba yeyoonyana bakhe. ¹⁶Iqashiso laphuma noShupim noHosa ngasentshonalanga, kwakukho isango iShaleketi endleleni eya phezulu, umlindi ejongene nomlindi. ¹⁷Ngasempumalanga kwama abaLevi abathandathu, ngasentla kwama abane imihla ngemihla, ngasezantsi abane imihla ngemihla, endlwini yobuncwane ngambini ngambini. ¹⁸Kwithala elingasentshonalanga: abane endleleni nababini ethaleni. ¹⁹Yiyo leyo imikhosi yabagcini-masango phakathi koonyana bakaKora nakoonyana bakaMerari.

²⁰UAhiya umLevi wayephethe ubuncwane bendlu kaBawo wethu nobuncwane bezinto ezingcwalisiweyo. ²¹Oonyana bakaLadan, amaGershon abekaLadan, iintloko zezindlu zooyise zakuLadan umGershon: nguYehiyeli. ²²Oonyana bakaYehiyeli, uZetam noYoweli umnakwabo, babephethe iindawo zobuncwane bendlu kaBawo wethu. ²³KumaAmram, namaItsare, namaHebron, namaUziyeli: ²⁴uShebhuweli unyana kaGershom, unyana kaMoses, wayeyintloko yabaphathi phezu kobuncwane. ²⁵Abazalwana bakhe ngoEliyezere: nguRehabhiya unyana wakhe, uYeshaya unyana wakhe, uYoram unyana wakhe, uZikri unyana wakhe, uShelomiti unyana wakhe. ²⁶UShelomiti nabazalwana bakhe babephethe bonke ubuncwane bezinto ezingcwalisiweyo ngukumkani uDavide, iintloko zezindlu zooyise, abathetheli-waka nabathetheli-khulu, nabathetheli bomkhosi. ²⁷Emaxhobeni awawazuza emfazweni bazingcwalisa izipho zokondla indlu kaBawo wethu. ²⁸Zonke izinto awazingcwalisayo uSamuweli imboni, noSawule unyana kaKishe, noAbhinere unyana kaNere, noYowabhi unyana kaTseruya—yonke into engcwalisiweyo—zaziphethwe nguShelomiti nabazalwana bakhe.

²⁹KumaItsare, uKenaniya noonyana bakhe babephethe iindawo zangaphandle zakwaSirayeli njengabaphathi nabagwebi. ³⁰KumaHebron, uHashabhiya nabazalwana bakhe—amadoda anobunkunkqele alikhulu elinamanci asixhenxe—babephethe amaSirayeli ngaphesheya kweYordan ngasentshonalanga, kuwo wonke umsebenzi kaBawo wethu nowokumkani. ³¹Phakathi kwamaHebron, uYeriya wayeyinkulu, ngokwezindlu zooyise. Ngomnyaka wamashumi amane kaDavide, kwafunyanwa amadoda anobunkunkqele phakathi kwawo eYazere kwelaseGiliyadi. ³²Abazalwana bakaYeriya babengamadoda anobunkunkqele angamawaka amabini anamakhulu asixhenxe, iintloko zezindlu zooyise. Ukumkani uDavide wabamisa phezu kwaRubhen, namaGadi, nesiqingatha sesizwe sakwaManase, kuyo yonke into kaBawo wethu neyokumkani.
