1 Chronicles 24

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

2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father died, and they had no children. So their younger brothers Eleazar and Ithamar became priests. 3 Zadok, who was a descendant of Eleazar, and Ahimelech, who was a descendant of Ithamar, helped David to separate their descendants into two groups. Each group had certain duties. 4 There were more clan leaders among the descendants of Eleazar than among the descendants of Ithamar. So they appointed sixteen clan leaders from Eleazar’s descendants to lead priestly divisions. They appointed eight clan leaders from Ithamar’s descendants. 5 Among the descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar, there were priests who took care of the sanctuary and priests who offered sacrifices. So they decided what work each division would do by drawing lots. Each lot had the name of a clan leader on it, and they put all the names together in a single urn.

6 Shemaiah son of Nethanel was a Levite who was an official secretary. As someone drew the name of each clan leader out of the urn, he wrote down the number of that lot, the leader’s name, and whether he was a descendant of Eleazar or Ithamar. King David and his officials watched him write these things down. So did the two high priests, Zadok and Ahimelech son of Abiathar. The clan leaders of the priests and Levites also watched.

7 Jehoiarib's name was on the first lot.

Jedaiah’s name was on the second lot.

8 Harim’s name was on the third lot.

Seorim’s name was on the fourth lot.

9 Malkijah’s name was on the fifth lot.

Mijamin’s name was on the sixth lot.

10 Hakkoz’s name was on the seventh lot.

Abijah’s name was on the eighth lot.

11 Jeshua’s name was on the ninth lot.

Shecaniah’s name was on the tenth lot.

12 Eliashib’s name was on the eleventh lot.

Jakim’s name was on the twelfth lot.

13 Huppah’s name was on the thirteenth lot.

Jeshebeab’s name was on the fourteenth lot.

14 Bilgah’s name was on the fifteenth lot.

Immer’s name was on the sixteenth lot.

15 Hezir’s name was on the seventeenth lot.

Happizzez’s name was on the eighteenth lot.

16 Pethahiah’s name was on the nineteenth lot.

Jehezkel’s name was on the twentieth lot.

17 Jakin’s name was on the twenty-first lot.

Gamul’s name was on the twenty-second lot.

18 Delaiah’s name was on the twenty-third lot.

Maaziah’s name was on the twenty-fourth lot.

19 The priests in these divisions would take turns serving in the temple in that order. Yahweh, the God of the Israelites, had commanded Aaron to perform certain duties as a priest. Aaron told his descendants to perform those same duties.

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

One of the descendants of Amram was Shubael.

One of the descendants of Shubael was Jehdeiah.

21 One of the descendants of Rehabiah was Isshiah, his oldest son.

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

One of the descendants of Shelomoth was Jahath.

23 Two of the descendants of Kohath’s son Hebron were his oldest son Jeriah and his second son Amariah. Jahaziel was his third son, and Jekameam was his fourth son.

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

One of the descendants of Micah was Shamir.

25 Micah’s younger brother was Isshiah.

One of the descendants of Isshiah was Zechariah.

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

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

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

29 One of the descendants of Kish was his son Jerahmeel.

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

These were all descendants of Levi, and these were their clans. 31 King David watched while someone drew lots to determine the duties of these Levites, just as someone had done for their kinsmen the priests. The high priests Zadok and Ahimelech also watched, as did the clan leaders of the priests and Levites. The descendants of an eldest brother did not receive favorable treatment compared with the descendants of a younger brother.
