1 Chronicles Chapter 24 (Index)
001 Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
002 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
003 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.
004 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.
005 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.
006 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.
007 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
008 The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
009 The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
010 The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
011 The ninth to Jeshuah, the tenth to Shecaniah,
012 The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
013 The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,
014 The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
015 The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,
016 The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,
017 The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul,
018 The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.
019 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.
020 And the rest of the sons of Levi were these: Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah.
021 Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah.
022 Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath.
023 And the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
024 Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah: of the sons of Michah; Shamir.
025 The brother of Michah was Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah.
026 The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno.
027 The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.
028 Of Mahli came Eleazar, who had no sons.
029 Concerning Kish: the son of Kish was Jerahmeel.
030 The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers.
031 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.
