1Chronicles Chapter 24

Divisions of the Priests
1   Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2   But  Nadab  and  Abihu  died  before  their father,  and  had  no  children:  therefore  Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest’s office.
3   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.
4   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 heads of their fathers’ houses, and eight heads of their fathers’ houses among the sons of Ithamar.
5   Thus were they divided by lot, one group as another; for the  officials of the sanctuary, and officials of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
6   And Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them down before the king, and the leaders, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and Levites: one father’s house being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.
7   Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
8   The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
9   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,
15   The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez,
16   The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel,
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   This  was the schedule of them in their service  to  come  into  the  house of the LORD, according to their procedure established under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.

The Rest of the Levites
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; Micah: of the sons of Micah; Shamir.
25   The brother of Micah 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 according to the house of their fathers.
31   These likewise cast lots even as their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and  Levites;  the  principal  fathers  did  even  as their younger brethren.
