1 Chronicles 23:6-23

6Then David divided the Levites into divisions according to the sons of Levi:

Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 7The Gershonites: Ladan1 and Shimei. 8The sons of Ladan: Jehiel2 the first, Zetham, and Joel—three in all. 9The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the families of Ladan. 10And the sons of Shimei:3 Jahath, Zina,4 Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei—four in all. 11Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were counted as one family and received a single assignment. 12The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four in all. 13The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were set apart forever to consecrate the most holy things, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister before Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name forever. 14As for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi. 15The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer. 16The descendants of Gershom: Shebuel was the first. 17The descendants of Eliezer: Rehabiah was the first. Eliezer did not have any other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very numerous. 18The sons of Izhar: Shelomith was the first. 19The sons of Hebron: Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. 20The sons of Uzziel: Micah was the first and Isshiah the second. 21The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. 22The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish. Eleazar died without having any sons; he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them. 23The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth5—three in all.
