CHAPTER 24

These were the divisions

of the descendants

of Aaron.

The sons

of Aaron

were Nadab,

Abihu,

Eleazar,

and Ithamar.

But Nadab

and Abihu

died

before

their father did,

and they had

no

sons;

so Eleazar

and Ithamar

served as priests.

With the help of Eleazar's

descendant

Zadok

and Ithamar's

descendant

Ahimelech,

David

divided them

according to the offices

of their service.

Since more

leaders

were found

among Eleazar's

descendants

than

those

of Ithamar,

they were divided accordingly.

There were sixteen

heads

of families

from the descendants

of Eleazar

and eight

from the descendants

of Ithamar.

Thus they were divided

by lot,

for

there were

officers

of the sanctuary

and officers

of God

among both Eleazar’s

and Ithamar’s

descendants.

The secretary,

Shemaiah

son

of Nethanel,

a Levite,

recorded their names

in the presence

of the king

and the officers

Zadok

the priest,

Ahimelech

son

of Abiathar,

and the heads

of families

of the priests

and the Levites—

one

family

being taken

from Eleazar,

and then one

from Ithamar.

The first

lot

fell

to Jehoiarib,

the second

to Jedaiah,

the third

to Harim,

the fourth

to Seorim,

the fifth

to Malchijah,

the sixth

to Mijamin,

the seventh

to Hakkoz,

the eighth

to Abijah,

the ninth

to Jeshua,

the tenth

to Shecaniah,

the eleventh

to Eliashib,

the twelfth

to Jakim,

the thirteenth

to Huppah,

the fourteenth

to Jeshebeab,

the fifteenth

to Bilgah,

the sixteenth

to Immer,

the seventeenth

to Hezir,

the eighteenth

to Happizzez,

the nineteenth

to Pethahiah,

the twentieth

to Jehezkel,

the twenty-first

to Jachin,

the twenty-second

to Gamul,

the twenty-third

to Delaiah,

and the twenty-fourth

to Maaziah.

This was

their appointed order

for service

when they entered

the house

of the LORD,

according to the regulations

prescribed for them

by their forefather

Aaron,

as

the LORD,

the God

of Israel,

had commanded him.

Now these were the remaining

descendants

of Levi:

From the sons

of Amram:

Shubael;

from the sons

of Shubael:

Jehdeiah.

As for Rehabiah,

from his sons:

The first

was Isshiah.

From the Izharites:

Shelomoth;

from the sons

of Shelomoth:

Jahath.

From the sons of Hebron:

Jeriah was the first,

Amariah

the second,

Jahaziel

the third,

and Jekameam

the fourth.

From the sons

of Uzziel:

Micah;

from the sons of

Micah:

Shamir.

The brother

of Micah:

Isshiah;

from the sons

of Isshiah:

Zechariah.

The sons

of Merari:

Mahli

and Mushi.

The son

of Jaaziah:

Beno.

The descendants

of Merari

from Jaaziah:

Beno,

Shoham,

Zaccur,

and Ibri.

From Mahli:

Eleazar,

who had

no

sons.

From Kish:

Jerahmeel

the son

of Kish.

And the sons

of Mushi:

Mahli,

Eder,

and Jerimoth.

These

were the sons

of the Levites,

according to their families.

As

their brothers

the descendants

of Aaron did,

they

also

cast

lots

in the presence

of King

David

and of Zadok,

Ahimelech,

and the heads

of the families

of the priests

and Levites—

the family

heads

and their younger

brothers alike.
