42 The gatekeepers: the descendants of Shallum, the descendants of Ater, the descendants of Talmon, the descendants of Akkub, the descendants of Hatita, and the descendants of Shobai, 139 in all.

The temple servants: the descendants of Ziha, the descendants of Hasupha, the descendants of Tabbaoth,

44 the descendants of Keros, the descendants of Siaha, the descendants of Padon,

45 the descendants of Lebanah, the descendants of Hagabah, the descendants of Akkub,

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
