The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. ^1 2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office. ^2 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. ^3 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 chief men of the house of _their_ fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers. ^4 5 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. ^5 6 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. ^6 7 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, ^7 8 The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, ^8 9 The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, ^9 10 The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah, ^10 11 The ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, ^11 12 The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, ^12 13 The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, ^13 14 The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, ^14 15 The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses, ^15 16 The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel, ^16 17 The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul, ^17 18 The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah. ^18 19 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. ^19 20 ¶ And the rest of the sons of Levi _were_ _these:_ Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah. ^20 21 Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first _was_ Isshiah. ^21 22 Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath. ^22 23 And the sons _of_ _Hebron;_ Jeriah _the_ _first_, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth. ^23 24 _Of_ the sons of Uzziel; Michah: of the sons of Michah; Shamir. ^24 25 The brother of Michah _was_ Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah. ^25 26 The sons of Merari _were_ Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno. ^26 27 ¶ The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri. ^27 28 Of Mahli _came_ Eleazar, who had no sons. ^28 29 Concerning Kish: the son of Kish _was_ Jerahmeel. ^29 30 The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These _were_ the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers. ^30 31 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. ^31
