* And the courses of the sons of Aaron were these . The sons of Aaron : Nadab and Abihu , Eleazar and Ithamar . * But Nadab and Abihu died before their father , and had no children ; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest 's office . * And David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar , and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar , divided them according to their ordering in their service . * And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar ; and thus were they divided : of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen , heads of fathers ' houses ; and of the sons of Ithamar , according to their fathers ' houses , eight . * Thus were they divided by lot , one sort with another ; for they were princes of the sanctuary and princes of God , both of the sons of Eleazar , and of the sons of Ithamar . * And 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 ' houses of the priests and of the Levites : one father 's house being taken for Eleazar , and proportionately for Ithamar . * Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib , the second to Jedaiah ; * the third to Harim , the fourth to Seorim ; * the fifth to Malchijah , the sixth to Mijamin ; * the seventh to Hakkoz , the eighth to Abijah ; * the ninth to Jeshua , the tenth to Shecaniah ; * the eleventh to Eliashib , the twelfth to Jakim ; * the thirteenth to Huppah , the fourteenth to Jeshebeab ; * the fifteenth to Bilgah , the sixteenth to Immer ; * the seventeenth to Hezir , the eighteenth to Happizzez ; * the nineteenth to Pethahiah , the twentieth to Jehezkel ; * the one and twentieth to Jachin , the two and twentieth to Gamul ; * the three and twentieth to Delaiah , the four and twentieth to Maaziah . * These were the orderings of them in their service , to come into the house of the LORD according to the ordinance given unto them by the hand of Aaron their father , as the LORD , the God of Israel , had commanded him . * And of the rest of the sons of Levi : of the sons of Amram , Shubael ; of the sons of Shubael , Jehdeiah . * Of Rehabiah : of the sons of Rehabiah , Isshiah the chief . * Of the Izharites , Shelomoth ; of the sons of Shelomoth , Jahath . * And Benai , Jeriah , Amariah the second , Jahaziel the third , Jekameam the fourth . * The sons of Uzziel , Micah ; of the sons of Micah , Shamir . * The brother of Micah , Isshiah ; of the sons of Isshiah , Zechariah . * The sons of Merari : Mahli and Mushi ; the sons of Jaaziah , his son , * even the sons of Merari through Jaaziah his son : Shoham , and Zaccur , and Ibri . * Of Mahli : Eleazar , who had no sons . * Of Kish : the sons of Kish , Jerahmeel . * And the sons of Mushi : Mahli , and Eder , and Jerimoth . These were the sons of the Levites after their fathers ' houses . * These likewise cast lots even as their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king , and Zadok , and Ahimelech , and the heads of the fathers ' houses of the priests and of the Levites ; the fathers ' houses of the chief even as those of his younger brother .
