Chapter 24
I Ch JPS 24:1  And the courses of the sons of Aaron were these. The sons of Aaron: Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
I Ch JPS 24:2  But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
I Ch JPS 24:3  And David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service.
I Ch JPS 24:4  And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and thus were they divided: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, heads of fathers' houses; and of the sons of Ithamar, according to their fathers' houses, eight.
I Ch JPS 24:5  Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for they were princes of the sanctuary and princes of G-d, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
I Ch JPS 24:6  And Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the priests and of the Levites: one father's house being taken for Eleazar, and proportionately for Ithamar.
I Ch JPS 24:7  Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah;
I Ch JPS 24:9  the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin;
I Ch JPS 24:12  the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim;
I Ch JPS 24:13  the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab;
I Ch JPS 24:14  the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer;
I Ch JPS 24:15  the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez;
I Ch JPS 24:16  the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel;
I Ch JPS 24:17  the one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul;
I Ch JPS 24:18  the three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.
I Ch JPS 24:19  These were the orderings of them in their service, to come into the house of HaShem according to the ordinance given unto them by the hand of Aaron their father, as HaShem, the G-d of Israel, had commanded him.
I Ch JPS 24:20  And of the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah.
I Ch JPS 24:21  Of Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, Isshiah the chief.
I Ch JPS 24:22  Of the Izharites, Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath.
I Ch JPS 24:23  And Benai, Jeriah, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
I Ch JPS 24:24  The sons of Uzziel, Micah; of the sons of Micah, Shamir.
I Ch JPS 24:25  The brother of Micah, Isshiah; of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah.
I Ch JPS 24:26  The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; the sons of Jaaziah, his son,
I Ch JPS 24:27  even the sons of Merari through Jaaziah his son: Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.
I Ch JPS 24:30  And the sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites after their fathers' houses.
I Ch JPS 24:31  These likewise cast lots even as their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the priests and of the Levites; the fathers' houses of the chief even as those of his younger brother.
