1 Now these are the
divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; 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, both Zadok
of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their
offices in their service.
4 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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 Now the first lot came forth to
Jehoiarib, 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 Aphses,
16 The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the
twentieth to Jehezekel,
17 The one and twentieth to Jachin, the
two and twentieth to Gamul,
18 The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the
four and twentieth to Maaziah.
19 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.
20 And the rest of the sons
of Levi were these: Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of
Shubael; Jehdeiah.
21 Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of
Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah.
22 Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the
sons of Shelomoth; Jahath.
23 And the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the
first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
24 Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah:
of the sons of Michah; Shamir.
25 The brother of Michah was
Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah.
26 The sons of Merari were Mahli
and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno.
27 The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno,
and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.
28 Of Mahli came Eleazar, who had
no sons.
29 Concerning Kish: the son of Kish was
Jerahmeel.
30 The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and
Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites after the house of
their fathers.
31 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.
