1 Chronicles 24
|
1 |
Now these are the divisions of the
sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab and Abi'hu, Ele-a'zar and
Ith'amar.
|
2 |
But Nadab and Abi'hu died before their
father, Lev. 10.1, 2 and had
no children: therefore Ele-a'zar and Ith'amar executed the priest's
office.
|
3 |
And David distributed them, both Zadok of
the sons of Ele-a'zar, and Ahim'elech of the sons of Ith'amar,
according to their offices in their service.
|
4 |
And there were more chief men found of
the sons of Ele-a'zar than of the sons of Ith'amar; and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Ele-a'zar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight
among the sons of Ith'amar 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 Ele-a'zar, and of
the sons of Ith'amar.
|
6 |
And Shemai'ah the son of Nethan'e-el the
scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and
the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahim'elech the son of
Abi'athar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests
and Levites: one principal household being taken for Ele-a'zar, and one taken for Ith'amar.
|
7 |
Now the first lot came forth to
Jehoi'arib, the second to Jedai'ah,
|
8 |
the third to Harim, the fourth to
Se-o'rim,
|
9 |
the fifth to Malchi'jah, the sixth to
Mij'amin,
|
10 |
the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to
Abi'jah,
|
11 |
the ninth to Jesh'u-ah, the tenth to
Shecani'ah,
|
12 |
the eleventh to Eli'ashib, the twelfth to
Jakim,
|
13 |
the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth
to Jesheb'e-ab,
|
14 |
the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to
Immer,
|
15 |
the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth
to Aphses,
|
16 |
the nineteenth to Pethahi'ah, the
twentieth to Jehez'ekel,
|
17 |
the one and twentieth to Jachin, the two
and twentieth to Gamul,
|
18 |
the three and twentieth to Delai'ah, the
four and twentieth to Ma-azi'ah.
|
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; Shu'ba-el: of the sons of
Shu'ba-el; Jehdei'ah.
|
21 |
Concerning Rehabi'ah: of the sons of
Rehabi'ah, the first was Isshi'ah.
|
22 |
Of the Iz'harites; Shelo'moth: of the
sons of Shelo'moth; Jahath.
|
23 |
And the sons of Hebron; Jeri'ah the first, Amari'ah the second, Jaha'zi-el the third,
Jekame'am the fourth.
|
24 |
Of the sons of Uz'zi-el; Michah:
of the sons of Michah; Shamir.
|
25 |
The brother of Michah was Isshi'ah: of the sons of Isshi'ah; Zechari'ah.
|
26 |
The sons of Mera'ri were Mahli and
Mushi: the sons of Ja-azi'ah; Beno.
|
27 |
The sons of Mera'ri by Ja-azi'ah; Beno,
and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.
|
28 |
Of Mahli came Ele-a'zar, who had
no sons.
|
29 |
Concerning Kish: the son of Kish was Jerah'meel.
|
30 |
The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder,
and Jer'imoth. 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 Ahim'elech, and the chief of the fathers of the
priests and Levites, even the principal fathers over against their
younger brethren.
