Chapter 24 |
| 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 chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons
of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers. |
|
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. |
| 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. |
|
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 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 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. |
| 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; Michah:
of the sons of Michah; Shamir. |
| 25
| The brother of Michah 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 after the house of their fathers. |
| 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. |
