1
Aaron's descendants, the priests, were in the following groups. Aaron's four sons were: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
2
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father died. They had no sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served God as priests.
3
Zadok and Ahimelech helped David to put Aaron's descendants into groups. Zadok was a descendant of Eleazar. Ahimelech was a descendant of Ithamar. They told each group what their work would be to serve God.
4
There were more leaders among Eleazar's descendants than among Ithamar's descendants. So from Eleazar's descendants, there were 16 groups with their leaders. From Ithamar's descendants there were eight groups with their leaders.
5
They used lots to decide the work of each group. The families of both Eleazar and Ithamar included officers for the temple as well as priests.
6
Shemaiah was the secretary who wrote down the names in each group. He was the son of Nethanel, a Levite. Shemaiah wrote down the names while the king and his officers watched. Zadok the priest, Abiathar's son Ahimelech and the leaders of the priests' clans and of the other Levite clans were also watching. When they threw the lots, they would choose a family from Eleazar's descendants, then a family from Ithamar's descendants, and so on.
7
This is the list of the group leaders as they chose them, one by one:
8
1. Jehoiarib 2. Jedaiah 3. Harim 4. Seorim 5. Malkijah 6. Mijamin 7. Hakkoz 8. Abijah 9. Jeshua 10. Shecaniah 11. Eliashib 12. Jakim 13. Huppah 14. Jeshebeab 15. Bilgah 16. Immer 17. Hezir 18. Happizzez 19. Pethahiah 20. Jehezkel 21. Jakin 22. Gamul 23. Delaiah 24. Maaziah.
9
Each of these leaders, with their group, had their jobs to do in the temple. They had to obey the rules that their ancestor Aaron had given. The Lord, Israel's God, had told him what they must do.
10
The leaders of the other Levite families included: Shubael, from Amram's descendants. Jehdeiah, from Shubael's descendants.
11
From Rehabiah's descendants: Isshiah, the firstborn son.
12
From Izhar's descendants: Shelomoth. From Shelomoth's descendants: Jahath.
13
Hebron's four sons were: Jeriah, the firstborn son, then Amariah, the second son, Jahaziel, the third son, and Jekameam, the fourth son.
14
Uzziel's son Micah and his son Shamir.
15
Micah's brother Isshiah and his son Zechariah.
16
Merari's sons were: Mahli, Mushi and Jaaziah.
17
Merari's descendants by his son Jaaziah were: Beno, Shoham, Zaccur and Ibri.
18
Mahli's son Eleazar had no sons.
19
Kish's son was Jerahmeel.
20
Mushi's sons were: Mahli, Eder and Jerimoth. That is the list of the Levites, with the leaders of each family.
21
They also used lots to choose their different jobs, as their relatives, Aaron's descendants, had done. King David, Zadok, Ahimelech and the family leaders of the priests and the other Levites watched them. They chose work for the family leaders in the same way that they did for their younger brothers.
