<p class="bodytext">From Mahli:p> <p class="bodytext">Eleazar, who had no sons.p>

<p class="bodytext">Sheshan had no sons, only daughters. Sheshan had an Egyptian servant named Jarha.

Phinehas son of Eleazar had been their leader in earlier times, and the <sc>Lordsc> was with him.

<p class="bodytext">These were the areas where Aaron&#8217;s descendants lived:<n id="1" />p> <p class="bodytext">The following belonged to the Kohathite clan, for they received the first allotment:<n id="2" />p>

<p class="bodytext">Abishai the brother of Joab was head of the three<n id="1" /> elite warriors. He killed three hundred men with his spear<n id="2" /> and gained fame along with the three elite warriors.<n id="3" />

I will become his father and he will become my son. I will never withhold my loyal love from him, as I withheld it from the one who ruled before you.<n id="1" />

David said to Solomon: &#8220;My son, I really wanted<n id="1" /> to build a temple to honor<n id="2" /> the <sc>Lordsc> my God.

<p class="bodytext">The son of Eliezer was<n id="1" /> Rehabiah, the oldest. Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah had many descendants.p>

<p class="bodytext">Hosah, one of the descendants of Merari, had sons:p> <p class="bodytext">The firstborn Shimri (he was not actually the firstborn, but his father gave him that status),

He gave him<n id="1" /> the blueprints of all he envisioned<n id="2" /> for the courts of the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s temple, all the surrounding rooms, the storehouses of God&#8217;s temple, and the storehouses for the holy items.p>

He was with David in Pas Dammim<n id="1" /> when the Philistines assembled there for battle. In an area of the field that was full of barley, the army retreated before the Philistines,

he sent his son Hadoram<n id="1" /> to King David to extend his best wishes<n id="2" /> and to pronounce a blessing on him for his victory over Hadadezer, for Tou had been at war with Hadadezer.<n id="3" /> He also sent various items made of gold, silver, and bronze.<n id="4" />

Now, look, I have made every effort to supply what is needed to build the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s temple.<n id="1" /> I have stored up 100,000 talents<n id="2" /> of gold, 1,000,000<n id="3" /> talents of silver, and so much bronze and iron it cannot be weighed, as well as wood and stones. Feel free to add more!

The <sc>Lordsc> greatly magnified Solomon before all Israel and bestowed on him greater majesty than any king of Israel before him.<n id="1" />p>
