1 Tawarikh 26:20-26

Supervisors of the Storehouses

26:20 Their fellow Levites were in charge of the storehouses ¹  in God’s temple and the storehouses containing consecrated items. 26:21 The descendants of Ladan, ²  who were descended from Gershon through Ladan and were leaders of the families of Ladan the Gershonite, included Jehieli ³  26:22 and the sons of Jehieli, Zetham and his brother Joel. They were in charge of the storehouses in the Lord’s temple.

26:23 As for the Amramites, Izharites, Hebronites, and Uzzielites:

26:24 Shebuel ⁴  son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was the supervisor of the storehouses. 26:25 His relatives through Eliezer included: Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zikri his son, and Shelomith ⁵  his son. 26:26 Shelomith ⁶  and his relatives were in charge of all the storehouses containing the consecrated items dedicated by King David, the family leaders who led units of a thousand and a hundred, and the army officers.

Markus 13:34-35

13:34 It is like a man going on a journey. He left his house and put his slaves ⁷  in charge, assigning ⁸  to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to stay alert. 13:35 Stay alert, then, because you do not know when the owner of the house will return – whether during evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or at dawn –

Kisah Para Rasul 20:31

20:31 Therefore be alert, ⁹  remembering that night and day for three years I did not stop warning ¹⁰  each one of you with tears.

Kisah Para Rasul 20:2

20:2 After he had gone through those regions ¹¹  and spoken many words of encouragement ¹²  to the believers there, ¹³  he came to Greece, ¹⁴ 

Titus 1:5

Titus’ Task on Crete

[26:20]  ¹ tn Or “treasuries.”

[26:21]  ² tn “Ladan” is a variant of the name “Libni” (cf. 6:17).

[26:21]  ³ tn “Jehieli” is a variant of the name “Jehiel” (cf. 23:8).

[26:24]  ⁴ tn A number of English versions follow the LXX and Vulgate and read “Shubael” here (e.g., NAB, NIV, NCV, CEV).

[26:25]  ⁵ tc The marginal reading (Qere) is “Shelomith,” while the consonantal text (Kethib) has “Shelomoth.”

[26:26]  ⁶ tc The MT reads “Shelomoth”; the name is spelled “Shelomith” in the marginal reading (Qere) of v. 25.

[13:34]  ⁷ tn See the note on the word “slave” in 10:44.

[13:34]  ⁸ tn Grk “giving.”

[20:31]  ⁹ tn Or “be watchful.”

[20:31]  ¹⁰ tn Or “admonishing.”

[20:2]  ¹¹ tn BDAG 633 s.v. μέρος 1.b.γ gives the meanings “the parts (of a geographical area), region, district,” but the use of “district” in this context probably implies too much specificity.

[20:2]  ¹² tn Grk “and encouraging them with many words.” The participle παρακαλέσας (parakalesa", “encouraging”) has been translated by the phrase “spoken…words of encouragement” because the formal equivalent is awkward in contemporary English.

[20:2]  ¹³ tn Grk “[to] them”; the referent (the believers there) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:2]  ¹⁴ tn In popular usage the term translated “Greece” here could also refer to the Roman province officially known as Achaia (BDAG 318 s.v. ῾Ελλάς).
