(KJV) 1 Chronicles 24¹

⥃Twenty-Four Divisions of Priests

[1] Now [these are] the divisions² of the sons³ of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. [2] But Nadab⁴ and Abihu died⁵ before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar⁶ and Ithamar executed the priest’s office. [3] And David distributed them, both Zadok⁷ of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech⁸ of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service. [4] And there were more⁹ chief men found of the sons of Eleazar¹⁰ 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 according¹¹ to the house of their fathers. [5] Thus were they divided by lot¹², one sort with another; for the governors¹³ of the sanctuary, and governors [of the house] of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar. [6] And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe¹⁴, [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 household¹⁵ being taken for Eleazar, and [one] taken for Ithamar. [7] Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib¹⁶, the second to Jedaiah¹⁷, [8] The third to Harim¹⁸, the fourth to Seorim, [9] The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin¹⁹, [10] The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah²⁰, [11] The ninth to Jeshua²¹, the tenth to Shecaniah, [12] The eleventh to Eliashib²², the twelfth to Jakim, [13] The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, [14] The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer²³, [15] The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses, [16] The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel, [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] These [were] the orderings²⁴ of them in their service to come into the house of the Lord, according to their manner, under Aaron²⁵ 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 Amram²⁶; Shubael²⁷: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah. [21] Concerning Rehabiah²⁸: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first [was] Isshiah²⁹. [22] Of the Izharites³⁰; Shelomoth³¹: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath. [23] And the sons [of Hebron]; Jeriah³² [the first], Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth. [24] [Of] the sons of Uzziel; Michah³³: of the sons of Michah; Shamir. [25] The brother of Michah [was] Isshiah³⁴: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah³⁵. [26] The sons of Merari [were] Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno.

[27] [¶]The sons³⁶ of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri. [28] Of Mahli [came] Eleazar, who had no sons³⁷. [29] Concerning Kish: the son of Kish [was] Jerahmeel³⁸. [30] The sons also of Mushi³⁹; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These [were] the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers. [31] These likewise cast lots⁴⁰ 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 principal⁴¹ fathers over against their younger brethren.
