Fyrri Kroníkubók 24
Icelandic Bible
24 Aronsniðjar höfðu og flokkaskipun fyrir sig. Synir Arons voru: Nadab, Abíhú, Eleasar og Ítamar.
2 En Nadab og Abíhú dóu á undan föður sínum og áttu eigi sonu, og urðu svo þeir Eleasar og Ítamar prestar.
3 Og þeir Davíð og Sadók af Eleasarsniðjum og Ahímelek af Ítamarsniðjum skiptu þeim niður í starfsflokka eftir embættum þeirra.
4 En það kom í ljós, að af Eleasarsniðjum voru fleiri höfðingjar en af Ítamarsniðjum. Fyrir því skiptu menn þeim svo, að af Eleasarsniðjum urðu sextán ætthöfðingjar, en átta af Ítamarsniðjum.
5 Og hvorum tveggja skiptu menn eftir hlutkesti, því að helgidómshöfðingjar og Guðs höfðingjar voru af niðjum Eleasars og af niðjum Ítamars.
6 Og Semaja Netaneelsson ritari, einn af levítum, skráði þá í viðurvist konungs og höfðingjanna og Sadóks prests og Ahímeleks Abjatarssonar og ætthöfðingja prestanna og levítanna. Var ein ætt tekin frá af Eleasar og ein af Ítamar.
7 Fyrsti hluturinn féll á Jójaríb, annar á Jedaja,
8 þriðji á Harím, fjórði á Seórím,
9 fimmti á Malkía, sjötti á Mijamín,
10 sjöundi á Hakkos, áttundi á Abía,
11 níundi á Jesúa, tíundi á Sekanja,
12 ellefti á Eljasíb, tólfti á Jakím,
13 þrettándi á Húppa, fjórtándi á Jesebeab,
14 fimmtándi á Bilga, sextándi á Immer,
15 seytjándi á Hesír, átjándi á Happísses,
16 nítjándi á Pelashja, tuttugasti á Jeheskel,
17 tuttugasti og fyrsti á Jakín, tuttugasti og annar á Gamúl,
18 tuttugasti og þriðji á Delaja, tuttugasti og fjórði á Maasja.
19 Er það starfskvöð þeirra að fara inn í musteri Drottins, eftir þeim reglum, er Aron forfaðir þeirra hafði sett, samkvæmt því, er Drottinn, Guð Ísraels, hafði boðið honum.
20 En að því er snertir aðra niðja Leví, þá voru af Amramsniðjum Súbael, af Súbaelsniðjum Jehdeja,
21 af Rehabja, af Rehabjaniðjum Jissía höfðingi,
22 af Jíseharítum Selómót, af Selómótsniðjum Jahat,
23 en af niðjum Hebrons: Jería höfðingi, annar Amarja, þriðji Jehasíel, fjórði Jekameam.
24 Niðjar Ússíels voru: Míka, af niðjum Míka var Samír.
25 Bróðir Míka var Jissía, af niðjum Jissía var Sakaría.
26 Niðjar Merarí voru Mahlí og Músí og niðjar Jaasía, sonar hans.
27 Niðjar Merarí frá Jaasía syni hans voru: Sóham, Sakkúr og Íbrí.
28 Frá Mahlí var Eleasar kominn. Hann átti eigi sonu.
29 Frá Kís: Synir Kís: Jerahmeel.
30 Niðjar Músí voru: Mahlí, Eder og Jerímót. Þessir voru niðjar levíta eftir ættum þeirra.
31 Þeir vörpuðu og hlutkesti, eins og frændur þeirra, Aronsniðjar, í viðurvist Davíðs konungs og Sadóks og Ahímeleks og ætthöfðingja prestanna og levítanna, ætthöfðingjarnir eins og yngri frændur þeirra.
1 Chronicles 24
Common English Bible
Divisions of the priests
24 The divisions of the Aaronites:
Aaron’s family: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, without having sons, and so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests. 3 David, with the help of Zadok from Eleazar’s family and Ahimelech from Ithamar’s family, divided them according to their appointed duties. 4 Since Eleazar’s family was found to have more male heads than Ithamar’s family, they divided them so that Eleazar’s family had sixteen household heads and Ithamar’s family had eight. 5 They divided both groups by lots because there were holy leaders, even outstanding leaders, among both Eleazar’s and Ithamar’s descendants. 6 Shemaiah, Nethanel’s son, the levitical scribe, recorded their names in the presence of the king; the leaders; Zadok the priest; Ahimelech, Abiathar’s son; and the household heads of the priests and Levites. One household was taken from Eleazar followed by one from Ithamar.
7 The first lot fell to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
8 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
9 the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
10 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
11 the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,
12 the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
13 the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,
14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
15 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez,
16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel,
17 the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul,
18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
19 These were to enter the Lord’s temple according to their appointed duty and by the procedure established for them by their ancestor Aaron, just as the Lord God of Israel had instructed him.
Rest of the Levites
20 The rest of the Levites included:
from Amram’s family: Shubael;
from Shubael’s family: Jehdeiah;
21 from Rehabiah and his family: Isshiah the first;
22 from the Izharites: Shelomoth;
from Shelomoth’s family: Jahath;
23 Hebron’s family:[a] Jeriah the first,[b] Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth;
24 Uzziel’s family: Micah;
from Micah’s family: Shamir;
25 Micah’s brother Isshiah;
from Isshiah’s family: Zechariah;
26 Merari’s family: Mahli, Mushi and his son Jaaziah’s family;
27 Merari’s family by his son Jaaziah: Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri;
28 from Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons;
29 from Kish and his family: Jerahmeel;
30 and Mushi’s family: Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth.
These were the Levites according to their households. 31 Both the household head and his youngest brother cast lots, just as their relatives, Aaron’s descendants, had done in the presence of King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the priestly and levitical households.

David Organizes the Priests
24 The divisions of the sons of Aaron were these. The sons of (A)Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 2 (B)But Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no children, so Eleazar and Ithamar became the priests. 3 With the help of (C)Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, David organized them according to the appointed duties in their service. 4 Since more chief men were found among the sons of Eleazar than among the sons of Ithamar, they organized them under sixteen heads of fathers' houses of the sons of Eleazar, and eight of the sons of Ithamar. 5 They divided them (D)by lot, all alike, for there were sacred officers and officers of God among both the sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar. 6 And the scribe Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded them in the presence of the king and the princes and Zadok the priest and (E)Ahimelech the son of Abiathar and the heads of the fathers' houses of the priests and of the Levites, one father's house being chosen for Eleazar and one chosen for Ithamar.
7 The first lot fell to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, 8 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, 9 the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, 10 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to (F)Abijah, 11 the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, 12 the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, 13 the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, 14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, 15 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez, 16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel, 17 the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul, 18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah. 19 These had as their appointed duty in their service (G)to come into the house of the Lord according to the procedure established for them by Aaron their father, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded him.
20 And of the rest of the sons of Levi: (H)of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah. 21 (I)Of Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, Isshiah the chief. 22 Of the Izharites, Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath. 23 (J)The sons of Hebron:[a] Jeriah the chief,[b] Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth. 24 (K)The sons of Uzziel, Micah; of the sons of Micah, Shamir. 25 The brother of Micah, Isshiah; of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah. 26 (L)The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Jaaziah: Beno.[c] 27 The sons of Merari: of Jaaziah, Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri. 28 Of Mahli: Eleazar, (M)who had no sons. 29 Of Kish, the sons of Kish: Jerahmeel. 30 (N)The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites according to their fathers' houses. 31 These also, the head of each father's house and his younger brother alike, (O)cast lots, just as their brothers the sons of Aaron, in the presence of King David, (P)Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of fathers' houses of the priests and of the Levites.
