1Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.β2But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.β3And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.β4And 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.β5Thus 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.β6And 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.β7Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,β8The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,β9The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,β10The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,β11The ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,β12The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,β13The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,β14The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,β15The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,β16The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,β17The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul,β18The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.β19These 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.β20And the rest of the sons of Levi were these: Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah.β21Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah.β22Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath.β23And the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.β24Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah: of the sons of Michah; Shamir.β25The brother of Michah was Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah.β26The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno.β27The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.β28Of Mahli came Eleazar, who had no sons.β29Concerning Kish: the son of Kish was Jerahmeel.β30The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers.β31These 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.β
