* The divisions of the sons of Aaron were these . The sons of Aaron : Nadab , Abi 'hu , Elea 'zar , and Ith 'amar . * But Nadab and Abi 'hu died before their father , and had no children , so Elea 'zar and Ith 'amar became the priests . * With the help of Zadok of the sons of Elea 'zar , and Ahim 'elech of the sons of Ith 'amar , David organized them according to the appointed duties in their service . * Since more chief men were found among the sons of Elea 'zar than among the sons of Ith 'amar , they organized them under sixteen heads of fathers ' houses of the sons of Elea 'zar , and eight of the sons of Ith 'amar . * They organized them by lot , all alike , for there were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God among both the sons of Elea 'zar and the sons of Ith 'amar . * And the scribe Shemai 'ah the son of Nethan 'el , a Levite , recorded them in the presence of the king , and the princes , and Zadok the priest , and Ahim 'elech the son of Abi 'athar , and the heads of the fathers ' houses of the priests and of the Levites ; one father 's house being chosen for Elea 'zar and one chosen for Ith 'amar . * The first lot fell to Jehoi 'arib , the second to Jedai 'ah , * the third to Harim , the fourth to Se-o 'rim , * the fifth to Malchi 'jah , the sixth to Mij 'amin , * the seventh to Hakkoz , the eighth to Abi 'jah , * the ninth to Jeshua , the tenth to Shecani 'ah , * the eleventh to Eli 'ashib , the twelfth to Jakim , * the thirteenth to Huppah , the fourteenth to Jesheb 'e-ab , * the fifteenth to Bilgah , the sixteenth to Immer , * the seventeenth to Hezir , the eighteenth to Hap 'pizzez , * the nineteenth to Pethahi 'ah , the twentieth to Jehez 'kel , * the twenty-first to Jachin , the twenty-second to Gamul , * the twenty-third to Delai 'ah , the twenty-fourth to Ma-azi 'ah . * These had as their appointed duty in their service to come into the house of the LORD according to the procedure established for them by Aaron their father , as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him . * And of the rest of the sons of Levi : of the sons of Amram , Shu 'ba-el ; of the sons of Shu 'ba-el , Jehde 'iah . * Of Rehabi 'ah : of the sons of Rehabi 'ah , Isshi 'ah the chief . * Of the Iz 'harites , Shelo 'moth ; of the sons of Shelo 'moth , Jahath . * The sons of Hebron : Jeri 'ah the chief , Amari 'ah the second , Jaha 'ziel the third , Jekame 'am the fourth . * The sons of Uz 'ziel , Micah ; of the sons of Micah , Shamir . * The brother of Micah , Isshi 'ah ; of the sons of Isshi 'ah , Zechari 'ah . * The sons of Merar 'i : Mahli and Mushi . The sons of Ja-azi 'ah : Beno . * The sons of Merar 'i : of Ja-azi 'ah , Beno , Shoham , Zaccur , and Ibri . * Of Mahli : Elea 'zar , who had no sons . * Of Kish , the sons of Kish : Jerah 'meel . * The sons of Mushi : Mahli , Eder , and Jer 'imoth . These were the sons of the Levites according to their fathers ' houses . * These also , the head of each father 's house and his younger brother alike , cast lots , just as their brethren the sons of Aaron , in the presence of King David , Zadok , Ahim 'elech , and the heads of fathers ' houses of the priests and of the Levites .
