1 Chronicles Chapter 24 (NASB)
undefined
Now the divisions of the descendants of Aaron [were these]: the sons of Aaron [were] Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
undefined
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.
undefined
David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their offices for their ministry.
undefined
Since more chief men were found from the descendants of Eleazar than the descendants of Ithamar, they divided them thus: [there were] sixteen heads of fathers' households of the descendants of Eleazar and eight of the descendants of Ithamar, according to their fathers' households.
undefined
Thus they were divided by lot, the one as the other; for they were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God, both from the descendants of Eleazar and the descendants of Ithamar.
undefined
Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel the scribe, from the Levites, recorded them in the presence of the king, the princes, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers' [households] of the priests and of the Levites; one father's household taken for Eleazar and one taken for Ithamar.
undefined
Now the first lot came out for Jehoiarib, the second for Jedaiah,
undefined
the third for Harim, the fourth for Seorim,
undefined
the fifth for Malchijah, the sixth for Mijamin,
undefined
the seventh for Hakkoz, the eighth for Abijah,
undefined
the ninth for Jeshua, the tenth for Shecaniah,
undefined
the eleventh for Eliashib, the twelfth for Jakim,
undefined
the thirteenth for Huppah, the fourteenth for Jeshebeab,
undefined
the fifteenth for Bilgah, the sixteenth for Immer,
undefined
the seventeenth for Hezir, the eighteenth for Happizzez,
undefined
the nineteenth for Pethahiah, the twentieth for Jehezkel,
undefined
the twenty-first for Jachin, the twenty-second for Gamul,
undefined
the twenty-third for Delaiah, the twenty-fourth for Maaziah.
undefined
These were their offices for their ministry when [they] came in to the house of the LORD according to the ordinance [given] to them through Aaron their father, just as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.
undefined
Now for the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah.
undefined
Of Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, Isshiah the first.
undefined
Of the Izharites, Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath.
undefined
The sons [of Hebron]: Jeriah [the first], Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
undefined
[Of] the sons of Uzziel, Micah; of the sons of Micah, Shamir.
undefined
The brother of Micah, Isshiah; of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah.
undefined
The sons of Merari, Mahli and Mushi; the sons of Jaaziah, Beno.
undefined
The sons of Merari: by Jaaziah [were] Beno, Shoham, Zaccur and Ibri.
undefined
By Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons.
undefined
By Kish: the sons of Kish, Jerahmeel.
undefined
The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder and Jerimoth. These [were] the sons of the Levites according to their fathers' households.
undefined
These also cast lots just as their relatives the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers' [households] of the priests and of the Levites-- the head of fathers' [households] as well as those of his younger brother.
