1 Chronicles 23:6-23
6David divided them into divisions 1according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7Of the Gershonites were 2Ladan and Shimei. 8The sons of Ladan were Jehiel the first and Zetham and Joel, three. 9The sons of Shimei were Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan. 10The sons of Shimei were Jahath, 3Zina, Jeush and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. 11Jahath was the first and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became a father’s household, one 4class.
12The sons of Kohath were four: Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel. 135The sons of Amram were Aaron and Moses. And 6Aaron was set apart to sanctify him as most holy, he and his sons forever, 7to burn incense before the Lord, to minister to Him and to bless in His name forever. 14But as for 8Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi. 15The sons of Moses were Gershom and Eliezer. 16The 9son of Gershom was 10Shebuel the chief. 17The 11son of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many. 18The 12son of Izhar was 13Shelomith the chief. 19The sons of Hebron were Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third and Jekameam the fourth. 20The sons of Uzziel were Micah the first and Isshiah the second.
21The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli were Eleazar and Kish. 22Eleazar died and had no sons, but daughters only, so their brothers, the sons of Kish, took them as wives. 23The sons of Mushi were three: Mahli, Eder and Jeremoth.
