Chapter 24 Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron.
The sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eliezer and Ithamar.
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no children.
Therefore Eliezer and Ithamar executed the priests' office.
And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eliezer and Ahimelech of the
sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.
And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eliezer than of the sons of
Ithamar, and thus were they divided.
Among the sons of Eliezer there were sixteen chief men of the house of their
fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar, according to the house of their
fathers.
Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another.
For the governors of the sanctuary and the governors of the house of God were of the
sons of Eliezer and of the sons of Ithamar.
And Shimea the son of Nathanael the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them
before the king and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the
son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites.
One principal household being taken for Eliezer, and one taken for Ithamar.
Now the first lot came forth to Jehorib, the second to Judea, the third to Herim,
the fourth to Seirim.
The fifth to Malkijah, the sixth to Midyamin, the seventh to Hakoz,
the eighth to Obijah, the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shekiniah, the eleventh to
Eliashib, the twelfth to Jachim, the thirteenth to Hapah, the fourteenth to
Jechebiab, the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Imah, the seventeenth to
Hezer, the eighteenth to Apses, the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth
to Jehezekel, the one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gemal,
the three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Meaziah.
These were the orderings of them in their service, to come into the house of the
Lord according to their manner, under Aaron their father, as the Lord God
of Israel had commanded him.
And the rest of the sons of Levi were these.

Jechamim the fourth.
Of the sons of Uzziel, Micah.

The sons of Morari were Malai and Mushai.
The sons of Jehaziah, Beno.

Of Malai came Eliezer who had no sons.
Concerning Kish, the son of Kish was Jeramiel.
The sons also of Mushai, Malai and Eder and Jeremoth.
These were the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers.
These likewise cast lots over against their brethren, the sons of Aaron in the
presence of David the king, and Zadok and Ahimelech and the chief of the fathers of
the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers, over against their
younger brethren.
