1 Chronicles 23:6-13

6Then David divided them into divisions according to Levi’s sons: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.

7The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.

8Ladan’s sons: Jehiel was the first, then Zetham, and Joel — three.

9Shimei’s sons: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran — three. Those were the heads of the families of Ladan.

10Shimei’s sons: Jahath, Zizah, Jeush, and Beriah. Those were Shimei’s sons — four.

11Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; however, Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became one family and received a single assignment.

12Kohath’s sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel — four.

13Amram’s sons: Aaron and Moses. Aaron, along with his descendants, was set apart forever to consecrate the most holy things, to burn incense in the presence of the Lord, to minister to him, and to pronounce blessings in his name forever.
