1 Chronicles Chapter 24

1And the sons of Aaron had their divisions. The sons of Aaron were Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 2But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and they did not have any sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar officiated as priests. 3And David assigned them in divisions, both Zadok from the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech from the sons of Ithamar, according to their assignment in their work. 4And the sons of Eleazar were found to be more numerous as heads of the warriors than the sons of Ithamar, and they divided them into sixteen sons of Eleazar as heads of the paternal house, and eight sons of Ithamar as their paternal house. 5And they divided them by lot, into groups, for there were masters of the sanctuary, and masters of things pertaining to God, from the sons of Eleazar and among the sons of Ithamar. 6And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe registered them, he being of the Levites who officiated before the king and the officials: both Zadok the priest and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the paternal heads, as priests and Levites, registering them with one paternal house being taken for Eleazar and another being taken for Ithamar. 7And the first lot fell to Jehoiarib; the second to Jedaiah; 8the third to Harim; the fourth to Seorim; 9the fifth to Malchijah; the sixth to Mijamin; 10the seventh to Hakkoz; the eighth to Abijah; 11the ninth to Jeshua; the tenth to Shecaniah; 12the eleventh to Eliashib; the twelfth to Jakim; 13the thirteenth to Huppah; the fourteenth to Jeshebab; 14the fifteenth to Bilgah; the sixteenth to Immer; 15the seventeenth to Hezir; the eighteenth to Happizzez; 16the nineteenth to Pethahiah; the twentieth to Ezekiel; 17the twenty-first to Jachin; the twenty-second to Gamul; 18the twenty-third to Delaiah; the twenty-fourth to Maaziah. 19These were their assignments in their work: to come to the house of the Lord, according to their ordinance, in the authority of Aaron their father, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded him. 20And the remaining sons of Levi were: of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah; 21of Rehabiah, of the sons of Rehabiah, the head, Jishshiah; 22of the Izharites, Shelomith; of the sons of Shelomith, Jahath; 23and my sons, Jeriah, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekamam the fourth; 24of the sons of Uzziel, Micah; of the sons of Micah, Shamir; 25of the brother of Micah, Jishshiah; of the sons of Jishshiah, Zechariah. 26The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi; the sons of Jaaziah were Beno and his line; 27the sons of Merari – those to Jaaziah – were Beno and Shoham and Zaccur and Ibri; 28of Mahli, Eleazar, but he did not have any sons; 29of Kish, the sons of Kish were Jerahmeel and his line; 30and the sons of Mushi were Mahli and Eder and Jerimoth. Those were the sons of the Levites according to their paternal house. 31And those also cast lots in the same way as their brothers, the sons of Aaron, in the presence of King David and Zadok and Ahimelech and the paternal heads of the priests and of the Levites – the fathers at the head in the same way as their younger brother.
