# General Information:

This continues the list of gatekeepers which started in [1 Chronicles 26:1](./01.md).

# Hosah ... Merari ... Shimri ... Hilkiah ... Tabaliah ... Zechariah

These are the names of men. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])

# the second ... the third ... the fourth

"the 2nd ... the 3rd ... the 4th" or "number 2 ... number 3 ... number 4." This shows the order in which the sons were born. If it is more natural in your language, you may say "the next" for each son. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers]])

# All of Hosah's sons and kinsmen were thirteen in number

"There were 13 of Hosah's sons and kinsmen." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers]])
