1 Chronicles 3:1

David’s Descendants

3:1 These were the sons of David who were born to him in Hebron:

The firstborn was Amnon, whose mother was Ahinoam from Jezreel;

the second was Daniel, whose mother was Abigail from Carmel;

1 Chronicles 15:18

15:18 along with some of their relatives who were second in rank, including Zechariah, 1  Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the gatekeepers.

1 Chronicles 16:5

16:5 Asaph was the leader and Zechariah second in command, followed by Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel. They were to play stringed instruments; Asaph was to sound the cymbals;

1 Chronicles 25:9

25:9 The first lot went to Asaph’s son Joseph and his relatives and sons – twelve in all, 2 

the second to Gedaliah and his relatives and sons – twelve in all,

1 Chronicles 29:22

29:22 They held a feast 3  before the Lord that day and celebrated. 4 

Then they designated Solomon, David’s son, as king a second time; 5  before the Lord they anointed him as ruler and Zadok as priest.

1 tc The Hebrew text adds בֶּן (ben, “son”) here; the word is omitted in three Hebrew mss and most LXX mss. If the word is original, perhaps the name of Zechariah’s father was accidentally omitted. Some English versions treat the word as an additional name in the list (“Ben”; e.g., KJV, ASV, NASB).

2 tc Heb “The first lot went to Asaph, to Joseph.” Apparently the recurring formula, “and his sons and his relatives, twelve” has been accidentally omitted from the Hebrew text at this point (see vv. 10-31; the formula is slightly different in v. 9b). If the number “twelve” is not supplied here, the total comes to only 276, not the 288 required by v. 7.

3 tn Heb “they ate and drank.”

4 tn Heb “with great joy.”

5 sn See 1 Chr 23:1, where David had previously designated Solomon as king over Israel.
