I Chronicles Chapter 24
1 These are also the divisions of the
sons of Aaron: The sons of Aaron were
Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their
father, and had no children: therefore
Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's
office.
3 And David distributed them, even
Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and
Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar
according to their offices in their
ministration.
4 And there were found more of the sons
of Eleazar by the number of men, than of
the sons of Ithamar. and they divided
them, to wit, among the sons of Eleazar,
sixteen heads, according to the
household of their fathers, and among the
sons of Ithamar, according to the
household of their father's, eight. 5 Thus
they distributed them by lot the one from
the other, and so the rulers of the
sanctuary and the rulers of the house of
God were of the sons of Eleazar and of
the sons of Ithamar.
6 And Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the
scribe of the Levites, wrote them before
the king and the princes, and Zadok the
priest, and Ahimelech the son of
Abiathar, and before the chief fathers of
the priests and of the Levites, one family
being reserved for Eleazar, and another
reserved for Ithamar. 7 And the first lot
fell to Jehoiarib, and the second to
Jedaiah, 8 The third to Harim, the fourth
to Seorim,
9 The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to
Mijamin,
10 The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to
Abijah,
11 The ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to
Shecaniah,
12 The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth
to Jakim,
13 The thirteenth to Huppah, the
fourteenth to Jeshebeab,
14 The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth
to Immer,
15 The seventeenth to Hezir, the
eighteenth to Happizzez,
16 The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the
twentieth to Jehezekel,
17 The one and twenty to Jachin, the two
and twenty to Gamul,
18 The three and twenty to Deliah, the
four and twenty to Maaziah. 19 These
were their orders according to their
offices, when they entered into the house
of the Lord according to their custom
under the hand of Aaron their father, as
the Lord God of Israel had commanded
him.
20 And of the sons of Levi that remained
of the sons of Amram, was Shubael, of
the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah,
21 Of Rehabiah. even of the sons of
Rehabiah, the first Isshiah, 22 Of Izhari,
Shelomoth, of the sons of Shelomoth,
Jahath,
23 And his sons Jeriah the first,
Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third,
and Jekameam the fourth,
24 The son of Uzziel was Micah, the son
of Micah was Shamir, 25 The brother of
Micah was Isshiah, the son of Isshiah,
Zechariah, 26 The sons of Merari, were
Mahli and Mushi, the son of Jaaziah was
Beno, 27 The sons of Merari of Jaaziah
were Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur and
Ibri.
28 Of Mahli came Eleazar, which had
no sons.
29 Of Kish. the son of Kish was
Jerahmeel,
30 And the sons of Mushi were Mahli,
and Eder, and Jeremoth: these were sons
of the Levites after the household of their
fathers.
31 And these also cast lots with their
brethren the sons of Aaron before king
David, and Zadok and Ahimelech and
the chief fathers of the priests, and of the
Levites, even the chief of the families
against their younger brethren.
