21
The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.
22
And Eleazar
died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
23
The sons of
Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24
These
were
the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers;
even
the chief of the fathers, as
they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house
of the L
ORD
, from the age of twenty years and upward.
25
For David said, The L
ORD
God of Israel
hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:
26
And also unto the
Levites; they shall no
more
carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.
27
For
by the last words of David the Levites
were
numbered from twenty years old and above:
28
Because
their office
was
to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the L
ORD
, in the courts,
and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house
of God;
29
Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened
cakes, and for
that which is baked in
the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of
measure and size;
30
And to stand every morning to thank and praise the L
ORD
, and likewise at
even;
31
And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the L
ORD
in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on
the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the
L
ORD
:
32
And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge
of the holy
place,
and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of
the L
ORD
.
CHAPTER CHRONICLES 24
Now
these are
the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar,
and Ithamar.
2
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar
and Ithamar executed the priest’s office.
3
And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of
Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.
4
And
there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and
thus
were
they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar
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.
5
Thus were they
divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors
of the house
of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
6
And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel
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 Eleazar, and
one
taken for Ithamar.
7
Now the first lot came
forth 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
