1 Chronicles 23:6-23
6David organized the Levites into divisions based on which of Levi’s sons (Gershon, Kohath, or Merari) they were descended from.
7Ladan and Shimei were Gershon’s descendants.
8Ladan had three sons: Jehiel was the first, then Zetham, and Joel.
9Shimei had three sons: Shelomith, Haziel, and Haran. They were the heads of Ladan’s families.
10Shimei’s sons were Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. They were Shimei’s four sons.
11Jahath was the first, and Ziza was the second. Jeush and Beriah didn’t have many sons, so they were given an assignment as one family.
12Kohath had four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
13Amram’s sons were Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his sons were forever designated to dedicate the most holy things ⌞to God⌟, to offer sacrifices to the Lord, to serve him, and always give the blessing in his name.
14The sons of Moses, the man of God, were counted with the tribe of Levi.
15Moses’ sons were Gershom and Eliezer.
16Gershom’s only son was Shebuel.
17Eliezer’s only son was Rehabiah. Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah had many sons.
18Izhar’s only son was Shelomith.
19Hebron’s first son was Jeriah; his second was Amariah; his third was Jahaziel; his fourth was Jekameam.
20Uzziel’s first son was Micah; his second was Isshiah.
21Merari’s sons were Mahli and Mushi. Mahli’s sons were Eleazar and Kish.
22Eleazar died without having any sons. He only had daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.
23Mushi had three sons: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth.
