1 Chronicles 23:6-13
6David divided them into groups corresponding to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7The Gershonites included Ladan and Shimei.
8The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the oldest, Zetham, and Joel – three in all.
9The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran – three in all. These were the leaders of the family of Ladan.
10The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were Shimei’s sons – four in all.
11Jahath was the oldest and Zizah the second oldest. Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were considered one family with one responsibility.
12The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel – four in all.
13The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were chosen on a permanent basis to consecrate the most holy items, to offer sacrifices before the Lord, to serve him, and to praise his name.
