  • 1 Chr 24:1-9 : 1 The divisions of the sons of Aaron were as follows: The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 2 Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests. 3 David, along with Zadok from the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech from the sons of Ithamar, organized them according to their duties in their service. 4 There were more leaders among the sons of Eleazar than among the sons of Ithamar. They divided them: sixteen heads of ancestral families from the sons of Eleazar, and eight from the sons of Ithamar. 5 They divided them by casting lots, the same for both groups, for there were officials of the sanctuary and officials of God among both the sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar. 6 Shemaiah, son of Nethanel, the scribe, a Levite, recorded their names in the presence of the king, the officials, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the heads of the families of the priests and of the Levites. One family was drawn for Eleazar and another for Ithamar. 7 The first lot fell to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, 8 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, 9 the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, 10 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah, 11 the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, 12 the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, 13 the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, 14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, 15 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez, 16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel, 17 the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul, 18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah. 19 These were their assigned duties for their service when they came into the house of the Lord, as prescribed by their father Aaron, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded him. 20 As for the rest of the Levites: from the sons of Amram, Shubael, and from the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah. 21 From Rehabiah: from the sons of Rehabiah, Isshiah was the chief. 22 From the Izharites, Shelomoth, and from the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath. 23 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. 24 The sons of Uzziel: Micah; from the sons of Micah, Shamir. 25 The brother of Micah was Isshiah; from the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah. 26 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi, and the son of Jaaziah, his son. 27 The sons of Merari through Jaaziah were Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri. 28 From Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons. 29 From Kish: the sons of Kish were Jerahmeel. 30 The sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites according to their ancestral families. 31 They also cast lots, like their brothers the sons of Aaron, in the presence of King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the families of the priests and of the Levites, the families of the chief just as the youngest, all alike.

  • 2 Chr 29:5-9 : 5 He said to them, 'Listen to me, Levites! Now consecrate yourselves, and consecrate the house of the LORD, the God of your ancestors, and remove the impurity from the holy place.' 6 For our ancestors were unfaithful and did what was evil in the sight of the LORD our God. They abandoned Him, turned their backs on His dwelling place, and walked away. 7 They also shut the doors of the vestibule, extinguished the lamps, and did not burn incense or offer burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel. 8 Therefore, the wrath of the LORD fell upon Judah and Jerusalem, and He made them an object of horror, devastation, and scorn, as you can see with your own eyes. 9 This is why our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons, daughters, and wives are in captivity today. 10 Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD, the God of Israel, so that His fierce anger may turn away from us. 11 My sons, do not be negligent now, for the LORD has chosen you to stand in His presence, to serve Him, and to minister to Him, and to burn incense.
