Now these
are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons
of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
02 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father,
and had no children: therefore Eleazar and
Ithamar executed the priest's office.
03 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.
04 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.
05 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.
06 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.
07 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the
second to Jedaiah,
08 The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
09 The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
10 The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
11 The ninth to Jeshuah, 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,

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.
