1 Chronicles 23:6-23
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.
14The descendants of Moses the man of God were considered Levites.
15The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
16The son of Gershom: Shebuel the oldest.
17The son of Eliezer was Rehabiah, the oldest. Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah had many descendants.
18The son of Izhar: Shelomith the oldest.
19The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the oldest, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20The sons of Uzziel: Micah the oldest, and Isshiah the second.
21The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
22Eleazar died without having sons; he had only daughters. The sons of Kish, their cousins, married them.
23The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth – three in all.
