1 Chronicles 23:6–24

^6yAnd David organized them in divisions ^zcorresponding to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

^7aThe sons of Gershon³ were Ladan and Shimei. ⁸The sons of Ladan: ^bJehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three. ⁹The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ houses of Ladan. ¹⁰And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. ¹¹Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, therefore they became counted as a single father’s house.

^12cThe sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four. ^13dThe sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. ^eAaron was set apart to dedicate the most holy things, that he and his sons forever should ^fmake offerings before the Lord and ^gminister to him and ^hpronounce blessings in his name forever. ¹⁴But the sons of Moses the ⁱman of God were named among the ^jtribe of Levi. ¹⁵The ^ksons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer. ¹⁶The sons of Gershom: ^lShebuel the chief. ¹⁷The sons of Eliezer: Rehabiah the chief. Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many. ¹⁸The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief. ¹⁹The ^msons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. ²⁰ⁿThe sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief and Isshiah the second.

^21oThe sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and ^pKish. ²²Eleazar died ^qhaving no sons, but only daughters; their ^rkinsmen, the sons of Kish, married them. ^23sThe sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth, three.

^24tThese were the sons of Levi by their fathers’ houses, the heads of fathers’ houses ^uas they were listed according to the number of the names of the individuals from ^vtwenty years old and upward who were to do the work for the service of the house of the Lord.
