16The sons of Levi were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

17These are the names of the sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei.

18The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

19The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. Now these are the families of the Levites according to their fathers:

20Of Gershon were Libni his son, Jahath his son, Zimmah his son,

21Joah his son, Iddo his son, Zerah his son, and Jeatherai his son.

22The sons of Kohath were Amminadab his son, Korah his son, Assir his son,

23Elkanah his son, Ebiasaph his son, Assir his son,

24Tahath his son, Uriel his son, Uzziah his son, and Shaul his son.

25The sons of Elkanah were Amasai and Ahimoth.

26As for Elkanah, the sons of Elkanah were Zophai his son, Nahath his son,

27Eliab his son, Jeroham his son, and Elkanah his son.

28The sons of Samuel were Joel the firstborn, and Abijah the second.

29The sons of Merari were Mahli, Libni his son, Shimei his son, Uzzah his son,

30Shimea his son, Haggiah his son, and Asaiah his son.

31Now these are the men whom David appointed over the service of song in the house of the Lord, after the ark came to rest.

32They were ministering with music before the dwelling place of the tabernacle of meeting, until Solomon had built the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, and they served in their office according to their order.
