1 Chronicles 23:6–23

⁶David divided them into divisions ^aaccording to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

Gershonites

⁷Of the Gershonites were ¹Ladan and Shimei.

⁸The sons of Ladan were Jehiel the first and Zetham and Joel, three.

⁹The sons of Shimei were Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.

¹⁰The sons of Shimei were Jahath, ¹Zina, Jeush and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

¹¹Jahath was the first and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became a father’s household, one ¹class.

Kohathites

¹²The sons of Kohath were four: Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.

^13aThe sons of Amram were Aaron and Moses. And ^bAaron was set apart to sanctify him as most holy, he and his sons forever, ^cto burn incense before the Lord, to minister to Him and to bless in His name forever.

¹⁴But as for ^aMoses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.

¹⁵The sons of Moses were Gershom and Eliezer.

¹⁶The ¹son of Gershom was ²Shebuel the chief.

¹⁷The ¹son of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

¹⁸The ¹son of Izhar was ²Shelomith the chief.

¹⁹The sons of Hebron were Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third and Jekameam the fourth.

²⁰The sons of Uzziel were Micah the first and Isshiah the second.

Merarites

²¹The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli were Eleazar and Kish.

²²Eleazar died and had no sons, but daughters only, so their brothers, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.

²³The sons of Mushi were three: Mahli, Eder and Jeremoth.
