1 Chronicles Chapter 24 Back Next{24:1} These were the divisions of the sons of
Aaron. The sons of Aaron: Nadab and
Abihu,
Eleazar and
Ithamar.
{24:2} But Nadab and Abihu died before their
father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
{24:3}
David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and
Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service.
{24:4} There were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and they were divided like this: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, heads of fathers' houses; and of the sons of Ithamar, according to their fathers' houses, eight.
{24:5} Thus were they divided impartially by drawing lots; for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
{24:6} Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the
Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of
Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers' households of the priests and of the Levites; one fathers' house being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.
{24:7} Now the first lot came forth to
Jehoiarib, the second to
Jedaiah,

Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
{24:9} the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to
Mijamin,

{24:11} the ninth to
Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,
{24:12} the eleventh to
Eliashib, the twelfth to
Jakim,
{24:13} the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to
Jeshebeab,
{24:14} the fifteenth to
Bilgah, the sixteenth to
Immer,
{24:15} the seventeenth to
Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez,
{24:16} the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel,
{24:17} the twenty-first to
Jachin, the twenty-second to
Gamul,
{24:18} the twenty-third to
Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to
Maaziah.
{24:19} This was their ordering in their service, to come into the house of Yahweh according to the ordinance given to them by Aaron their father, as Yahweh, the God of
Israel, had commanded him.
{24:20} Of the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of
Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael,
Jehdeiah.
{24:21} Of Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, Isshiah the chief.
{24:22} Of the

{24:23} The sons of
Hebron: Jeriah,
Amariah the second,
Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
{24:24} The sons of Uzziel,
Micah; of the sons of Micah, Shamir.
{24:25} The
brother of Micah, Isshiah; of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah.
{24:26} The sons of
Merari: Mahli and Mushi; the sons of
Jaaziah: Beno.
{24:27} The sons of Merari: of Jaaziah, Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.
{24:28} Of Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons.
{24:29} Of
Kish; the sons of Kish:
Jerahmeel.
{24:30} The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and
Eder, and
Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites after their fathers' houses.
{24:31} These likewise cast lots even as their brothers the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers' households of the priests and of the Levites; the fathers' households of the chief even as those of his younger brother.
