1 Chronicles 24
1¶ The sons of Aaron also had their courses. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2But Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no children; therefore, Eleazar and Ithamar had the priesthood.
3And David distributed them, Zadok being of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their turns in their ministry.
4And there were more 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 houses of their fathers and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the houses of their fathers.
5They divided them, therefore, by lot, one with another for of the sons of Eleazar and of the sons of Ithamar there were princes of the sanctuary and princes of God.
6And Shemaiah, the scribe, the son of Nethaneel, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king and the princes and before Zadok, the priest, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers of the priests and Levites; one paternal house being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.
7Now the first lot came forth 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 Jeshebeab,
14the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
15the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,
16the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,
17the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul,
18the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
19These were their orderings in their service to come into the house of the Lord, according to their right, in the ministry of Aaron, their father, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded him.
20¶ And of the sons of Levi that remained: Of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah.
21Rehabiah; of the sons of Rehabiah, the chief was Isshiah.
22Of the Izharite; Shelomoth; and the son of Shelomoth, Jahath.
23And of the sons of Jeriah: Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
24The sons of Uzziel: Michah; and the son of Michah, Shamir.
25The brother of Michah was Isshiah; and the son of Isshiah, Zechariah.
26The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; the son of Jaaziah, Beno.
27The sons of Merari by Jaaziah: Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri.
28Of Mahli came Eleazar, who had no sons.
29Kish; the son of Kish, Jerahmeel.
30The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites according to the houses of their fathers.
31These, 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.
