<p> <strong> KORE </strong> . 1. The eponym of a [[Korahite]] guild of doorkeepers (&nbsp; 1 Chronicles 9:19 ). <strong> 2 </strong> . Son of lmnah, a Levite in the time of [[Hezekiah]] (&nbsp; 2 Chronicles 31:14 ). </p>

<p> ''''' kō´rḗ ''''' ( קורא , <i> ''''' ḳōrē' ''''' </i> , "one who proclaims"): </p> <p> (1) A L evite of David's time, descended from [[Kohath]] and Korah. See Korah , 4. Shallum, Chief doorkeeper in the latest Bible times, is described as "the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah" (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 9:19 ). This expression omits the generations between Shallum and Kore, and those between [[Kore]] and Ebidsaph, perhaps 15 generations or more in each case. The context supplies two of the omitted names, of the time of David, [[Meshelemiah]] and his son Zechariah (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 9:21 , &nbsp;1 Chronicles 9:22 ). The record for the time of David mentions these two, with some particulars, calling Meshelemiah the son of Kore (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 26:1 , &nbsp;1 Chronicles 26:2 , &nbsp;1 Chronicles 26:9 , &nbsp;1 Chronicles 26:14 ). It describes them as "Korahites" "of the sons of Asaph." It is usual to regard this last clause as a variant for "the son of Ebiasaph," thus making the description identical with that in &nbsp;1 Chronicles 9:19 . With this understanding, the text claims that "the Korahites," Kore and Meshelemiah and Zechariah, come midway in a line of sanctuary ministrants, extending continuously from Moses to Nehemiah. </p> <p> (2) "The son of [[Imnah]] the Levite, the porter at the east gate," who "was over the freewill-offerings," in the time of Hezekiah (&nbsp;2 Chronicles 31:14 ). Very likely in the same line with (1) above. </p> <p> (3) In &nbsp;1 Chronicles 26:1 the King James Version for [[Korahites]] (which see). </p>

<p> (Hebrew Kore', קוֹרֵא, but קֹרֵא in &nbsp;1 Chronicles 26:1, ''A Partridge,'' as in &nbsp;1 Samuel 26:20; Sept. Κορέ, but Κωρή v. r. Κορή in &nbsp;2 Chronicles 31:14), the name of two or three men. (See Korah). </p> <p> '''1.''' A Levite and Temple-warden of the Korabites, of the sons of Asaph, and father of Meshelemiah or [[Shelemiah]] (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 26:1). B.C. 1014. He was probably identical with the son of [[Ebiasaph]] and father of Shallum, [[Levites]] of the family of Korah, engaged in the same service (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 9:19). </p> <p> '''2.''' Son of Imnah, a [[Levitical]] porter of the east gate, appointed by Hezekiah to take charge of the [[Temple]] offerings (&nbsp;2 Chronicles 31:14). B.C. 726. </p> <p> '''3.''' By erroneous translation in the A.V. at &nbsp;1 Chronicles 26:19 for KORAHITE (See Korahite) (q.v.). </p>
