Amplified Bible
1 Chronicles 23:6-23
6And David organized them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7Of the Gershonites: Ladan (Libni) and Shimei.
8The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the first and Zetham and Joel—three in all.
9The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.
10The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina (Zizah), Jeush, and Beriah. These were the four sons of Shimei.
11Jahath was the first and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons [not enough for a father’s house or clan], so they were [counted together] as one father’s household, one working group.
12The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four in all.
13The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron was set apart to consecrate him as most holy, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the Lord, attend to His service, and to bless [worshipers] in His name forever.
14But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were counted among the tribe of Levi.
15The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
16The son of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.
17The son of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chief. Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah’s sons were very many [in number].
18The son of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.
19The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20The sons of Uzziel: Micah the first and Isshiah the second.
21The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
22Eleazar died and had no sons, but daughters only, and their relatives, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.
23The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth—three in all.
