UST 1CH Chapter 24

1CH 24 ©

24These are the divisions of the descendants of Aaron the first high priest: Aaron’s four sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

2But Nadab and Abihu died before their father died, and they had no children. So their younger brothers Eleazar and Ithamar became priests. 3Zadok, who was a descendant of Eleazar, and Ahimelech, who was a descendant of Ithamar, helped David to separate the family groups into two groups. Each group had certain duties. 4There were more leaders among the descendants of Eleazar than there were among the descendants of Ithamar. So they appointed 16 leaders from Eleazar’s descendants and eight leaders from Ithamar’s descendants. 5There were temple officials and priests there, including descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar, to make sure that the work was equitable between the groups. So they decided what work each group would do by casting lots.

6Shemaiah son of Nethanel, who was an official secretary and a descendant of Levi, wrote down the names of the leaders of each group while David and his officials were watching. Zadok, the high priest, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the leaders of the families of the priests and of the families of the other descendants of Levi also watched. The lots alternated between the two groups, starting with a family who descended from Eleazar then a family who descended from Ithamar. Once the eight leaders from families descended from Ithamar received their duties, the remaining duties went to leaders of families descended from Eleazar.

7Jehoiarib received the first lot cast.

Jedaiah received the next lot.

8Next was Harim,

then Seorim.

9Next was Malkijah,

then Mijamin.

10Next was Hakkoz,

then Abijah.

11Next was Jeshua,

then Shecaniah.

12Next was Eliashib.

then Jakim.

13Next was Huppah,

then Jeshebeab.

14Next was Bilgah,

then Immer.

15The remaining leaders descended from Eleazar. The 17th lot went to Hezir.

Next was Happizzez.

16Next was Pethahiah,

then Jehezkel.

17Next was Jakin,

then Gamul.

18Next was Delaiah,

then Maaziah was the last.

19Those were the men selected to be the leaders of the groups that would serve in Yahweh’s temple, obeying the regulations that Aaron their ancestor gave, regulations which Yahweh, the God the Israelite people worship, had given to him.

20This is a list of some of the other descendants of Levi:

From the sons of Amram there was Shubael.

From the sons of Shubael there was Jehdeiah.

21From Rehabiah and from the sons of Rehabiah there was Isshiah, his oldest son.

22From the descendants of Kohath’s son Izhar there was Shelomoth.

From the descendants of Shelomoth there was Jahath.

23From the descendants of Kohath’s son Hebron there was his oldest son Jeriah and Amariah the second-born. Jahaziel was the third son, and Jekameam was the fourth son.

24From the descendants of Kohath’s son Uzziel there was Micah.

From the descendants of Micah there was Shamir.

25And Micah’s younger brother was Isshiah.

From the descendants of Isshiah there was Zechariah.

26The sons of Merari were Mahli, Mushi, and Jaaziah. Jaaziah’s first son was Beno.

27In Merari’s family line, from the descendants of Jaaziah, there were Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri.

28Mahli’s son Eleazar did not have any sons.

29From the descendants of Kish there was his son Jerahmeel.

30The sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth.

Those were descendants of Levi who were listed according to the leaders of their families. 31These men also decided the jobs they would do by casting lots just like their fellow Israelites the descendants of Aaron, did. They cast lots while King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the leaders of the families of the priests and the other descendants of Levi watched. The families of each oldest brother received the same treatment as those of the youngest.
