1 Chronicles Chapter 24 (KJV)

undefined Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
undefined But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest’s office.
undefined And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.
undefined And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.
undefined Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
undefined And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one 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 of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.
undefined Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
undefined The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
undefined The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
undefined The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
undefined The ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,
undefined The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
undefined The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,
undefined The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
undefined The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,
undefined The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,
undefined The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul,
undefined The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.
undefined These were the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.
undefined And the rest of the sons of Levi were these: Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah.

undefined Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath.
undefined And the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
undefined Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah: of the sons of Michah; Shamir.
undefined The brother of Michah was Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah.
undefined The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno.
undefined The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.
undefined Of Mahli came Eleazar, who had no sons.
undefined Concerning Kish: the son of Kish was Jerahmeel.
undefined The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers.
undefined These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren.
