The sonnes of Mahli, Eleazar and Kish. 22 And Eleazar dyed, and had no sonnes, but daughters, and their brethren the sonnes of Kish tooke them. 23 The sonnes of Mushi were Mahli, & Eder, and Ierimoth, three. 24 These were the sonnes of Leui according to the house of their fathers, euen the chiefe fathers according to their offices, according to the nomber of names and their summe that did the worke for the seruice of the house of the Lorde from the age of twentie yeeres and aboue. 25 For Dauid sayde, The Lord God of Israel hath giuen rest vnto his people, that they may dwell in Ierusalem for euer. 26 And also the Leuites shall no more beare the Tabernacle and al the vessels for the seruice thereof. 27 Therefore according to the last wordes of Dauid, the Leuites were nombred from twentie yeere and aboue, 28 And their office was vnder the hand of the sonnes of Aaron, for the seruice of the house of the Lorde in the courtes, and chambers, and in the purifiyng of all holy thinges, and in

in the moneths, and at the appointed times, according to the nomber and according to their custome continually before the Lorde, 32 And that they should keepe the charge of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the charge of ye holy place, & the charge of ye sonnes of Aaron their brethren in the seruice of ye house of the Lord. 1 These are also the diuisions of the sonnes of Aaron: The sonnes of Aaron were Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar & Ithamar executed the Priestes office. 3 And Dauid distributed them, euen Zadok of the sonnes of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sonnes of Ithamar according to their offices in their ministration. 4 And there were found mo of the sonnes of Eleazar by the number of men, then of the sonnes of Ithamar; they deuided them, to wit, among the sonnes of Eleazar, sixteene heads, according to the houshould of their fathers, and among ye sonnes of Ithamar, according to the housholde of their fathers, eight. 5 Thus they distributed them by lot the one from the other, and so the rulers of the Sanctuarie and the rulers of the house of God were of the sonnes of Eleazar and of the sonnes of Ithamar. 6 And Shemaiah the sonne of Nethaneel the scribe of the Leuites, wrote them before ye King and the princes, and Zadok the Priest, and Ahimelech the sonne of Abiathar, and before ye chiefe fathers of the Priests and of the Leuites, one familie being reserued for Eleazar, and another reserued for Ithamar. 7 And the first lot fell to Iehoiarib, and the second to Iedaiah, 8 The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, 9 The fifth to Malchiiah, the sixt to Miiamin, 10 The seuenth to Hakkoz, the eight to Abiiah, 11 The ninth to Ieshua, the tenth to

twentie to Maaziah. 19 These were their orders according to their offices, when they entred into the house of the Lorde according to their custome vnder the hande of Aaron their father, as the Lorde God of Israel had commaunded him. 20 And of the sonnes of Leui that remained of the sonnes of Amram, was Shubael, of the sonnes of Shubael, Iedeiah, 21 Of Rehabiah. euen of the sonnes of Rehabiah, the first Isshiiah, 22 Of Izhari, Shelomoth, of the sonnes of Shelomoth, Iahath, 23 And his sonnes Ieriah the first, Amariah the second, Iahaziel the thirde, and Iekameam the fourth, 24 The sonne of Vzziel was Michah, ye sonne of Michah was Shamir, 25 The brother of Michah was Isshiiah, the sonne of Isshiiah, Zechariah, 26 The sonnes of Merari, were Mahli and Mushi, the sonne of Iaaziiah was Beno, 27 The sonnes of Merari of Iahaziah were Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur and Ibri. 28 Of Mahli came Eleazar, which had no sonnes. 29 Of Kish. the sonne of Kish was Ierahmeel, 30 And the sonnes of Mushi were Mahli, & Eder, and Ierimoth: these were sonnes of the Leuites after the houshold of their fathers. 31 And these also cast lots with their brethren the sonnes of Aaron before King Dauid, & Zadok and Ahimelech and the chiefe fathers of the Priests, and of the Leuites, euen the chiefe of the families against their yonger brethren. 1 So Dauid and the captaines of the armie separated for the ministerie the sonnes of Asaph, and Heman, and Ieduthun, who should sing prophesies with harpes, with violes, and with cymbales, and their nomber was euen of the men for the office of their ministerie, to wit, 2 Of the sonnes of Asaph, Zaccur, and Ioseph, and Nethaniah, and Asharelah the sonnes of Asaph were vnder the hand of Asaph, which sang prophesies by the commission of the King. 3 Of Ieduthun, the sonnes of Ieduthun, Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Ieshaiah, Ashabiah and Mattithiah, six, vnder the hands of their father: Ieduthun sang prophecies with an harpe, for to giue thankes and to praise the Lorde. 4 Of Heman, the sonnes of Heman, Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Vzziel, Shebuel, and Ierimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamtiezer, Ioshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and

of their father, singing in the house of the Lorde with cymbales, violes and harpes, for the seruice of the house of God, and Asaph, and Ieduthun, and Heman were at the Kings commandement. 7 So was their nomber with their brethre that were instruct in ye songs of the Lord, euen of al that were cunning, two hundreth foure score & eight. 8 And they cast lottes, charge against charge, aswel small as great, the cunning man as the scholer. 9 And the first lot fell to Ioseph which was of Asaph, the second, to Gedaliah, who with his brethren and his sonnes were twelue. 10 The third, to Zaccur, he,
