1 Chronicles 24
New King James Version
The Divisions of the Priests
24 Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. (A)The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 2 And (B)Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests. 3 Then David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and (C)Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to the schedule of their service.
4 There were more leaders found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar, and thus they were divided. Among the sons of Eleazar were sixteen heads of their fathers’ houses, and eight heads of their fathers’ houses among the sons of Ithamar. 5 Thus they were divided by lot, one group as another, for there were officials of the sanctuary and officials of the house of God, from the sons of Eleazar and from the sons of Ithamar. 6 And the scribe, Shemaiah the son of Nethanel, one of the Levites, wrote them down before the king, the leaders, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and Levites, one father’s house taken for Eleazar and one for Ithamar.
7 Now 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 (D)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 [a]Happizzez, 16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to [b]Jehezekel, 17 the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul, 18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
19 This was the schedule of their service (E)for coming into the house of the Lord according to their ordinance by the hand of Aaron their father, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded him.
Other Levites
20 And the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, [c]Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah. 21 Concerning (F)Rehabiah, of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah. 22 Of the Izharites, [d]Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath. 23 Of the sons [e]of (G)Hebron, Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. 24 Of the sons of Uzziel, Michah; of the sons of Michah, Shamir. 25 The brother of Michah, Isshiah; of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah. 26 (H)The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi; the son of Jaaziah, Beno. 27 The sons of Merari by Jaaziah were Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri. 28 Of Mahli: Eleazar, (I)who had no sons. 29 Of Kish: the son of Kish, Jerahmeel.
30 Also (J)the sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites according to their fathers’ houses.
31 These also cast lots just as their brothers the sons of Aaron did, in the presence of King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and Levites. The chief fathers did just as their younger brethren.

Organización de los sacerdotes
24 Estas fueron las clases de los descendientes[a] de Aarón. Los hijos de Aarón fueron Nadab, Abiú, Eleazar e Itamar(A). 2 Pero Nadab y Abiú murieron(B) antes que su padre y no tuvieron hijos. De modo que Eleazar e Itamar sirvieron como sacerdotes. 3 Y David, con Sadoc(C) de los hijos de Eleazar y Ahimelec de los hijos de Itamar, los dividió según sus oficios para su ministerio. 4 Puesto que se encontraron más hombres principales entre los descendientes de Eleazar que entre los descendientes de Itamar, los dividieron así: de los descendientes de Eleazar, dieciséis jefes de casas paternas, y ocho de los descendientes de Itamar según sus casas paternas. 5 Así fueron divididos por suerte(D) los unos y los otros; porque eran funcionarios del santuario y funcionarios de la casa de Dios, tanto los descendientes de Eleazar como los descendientes de Itamar. 6 Y Semaías, hijo del escriba Natanael, de los levitas, los inscribió en la presencia del rey, de los príncipes, del sacerdote Sadoc, de Ahimelec(E), hijo de Abiatar, y de los jefes de las casas paternas de los sacerdotes y de los levitas; una casa paterna designada para Eleazar y otra designada para Itamar.
7 La primera suerte tocó a Joiarib, la segunda a Jedaías, 8 la tercera a Harim, la cuarta a Seorim, 9 la quinta a Malquías, la sexta a Mijamín, 10 la séptima a Cos, la octava a Abías(F), 11 la novena a Jesúa, la décima a Secanías, 12 la undécima a Eliasib, la duodécima a Jaquim, 13 la decimotercera a Hupa, la decimocuarta a Jesebeab, 14 la decimoquinta a Bilga, la decimosexta a Imer, 15 la decimoséptima a Hezir, la decimoctava a Afisés, 16 la decimonovena a Petaías, la vigésima a Hezequiel, 17 la vigesimoprimera a Jaquín, la vigesimosegunda a Gamul, 18 la vigesimotercera a Delaía, la vigesimocuarta a Maazías. 19 Estos fueron sus deberes para su ministerio(G) cuando entraron en la casa del Señor según la ordenanza que les fue dada por medio de su padre Aarón, tal como el Señor, Dios de Israel, le había mandado.
20 Y para el resto de los hijos de Leví: de los hijos de Amram, Subael; de los hijos de Subael, Jehedías. 21 De Rehabías: de los hijos de Rehabías, Isías el primero. 22 De los izharitas, Selomot; de los hijos de Selomot, Jahat. 23 Y de los hijos de Hebrón: Jerías el primero, Amarías el segundo, Jahaziel el tercero, Jecamán el cuarto(H). 24 De los hijos de Uziel, Micaía; de los hijos de Micaía, Samir. 25 El hermano de Micaía, Isías; de los hijos de Isías, Zacarías. 26 Los hijos de Merari: Mahli y Musi; de los hijos de Jaazías, Beno. 27 Los hijos de Merari por Jaazías: Beno, Soham, Zacur e Ibri. 28 Por Mahli: Eleazar, que no tuvo hijos. 29 Por Cis: de los hijos de Cis, Jerameel. 30 Y los hijos de Musi: Mahli, Edar y Jerimot. Estos fueron los hijos de los levitas conforme a sus casas paternas. 31 Estos también echaron suertes(I) como sus parientes[b], los hijos de Aarón, en la presencia del rey David, de Sadoc(J), de Ahimelec y de los jefes de las casas paternas de los sacerdotes y de los levitas. El principal de las casas paternas fue tratado igual que el menor de sus hermanos.

New International Version
The Divisions of Priests
24 These were the divisions(A) of the descendants of Aaron:(B)
The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.(C) 2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did,(D) and they had no sons; so Eleazar and Ithamar served as the priests. 3 With the help of Zadok(E) a descendant of Eleazar and Ahimelek a descendant of Ithamar, David separated them into divisions for their appointed order of ministering. 4 A larger number of leaders were found among Eleazar’s descendants than among Ithamar’s, and they were divided accordingly: sixteen heads of families from Eleazar’s descendants and eight heads of families from Ithamar’s descendants. 5 They divided them impartially by casting lots,(F) for there were officials of the sanctuary and officials of God among the descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar.
6 The scribe Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded their names in the presence of the king and of the officials: Zadok the priest, Ahimelek(G) son of Abiathar and the heads of families of the priests and of the Levites—one family being taken from Eleazar and then one from Ithamar.
7 The first lot fell to Jehoiarib,
the second to Jedaiah,(H)
8 the third to Harim,(I)
the fourth to Seorim,
9 the fifth to Malkijah,
the sixth to Mijamin,
10 the seventh to Hakkoz,
the eighth to Abijah,(J)
11 the ninth to Jeshua,
the tenth to Shekaniah,
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,(K)
15 the seventeenth to Hezir,(L)
the eighteenth to Happizzez,
16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah,
the twentieth to Jehezkel,
17 the twenty-first to Jakin,
the twenty-second to Gamul,
18 the twenty-third to Delaiah
and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
19 This was their appointed order of ministering when they entered the temple of the Lord, according to the regulations prescribed for them by their ancestor Aaron, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded him.
The Rest of the Levites
20 As for the rest of the descendants of Levi:(M)
from the sons of Amram: Shubael;
from the sons of Shubael: Jehdeiah.
21 As for Rehabiah,(N) from his sons:
Ishiah was the first.
22 From the Izharites: Shelomoth;
from the sons of Shelomoth: Jahath.
23 The sons of Hebron:(O) Jeriah the first,[a] Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third and Jekameam the fourth.
24 The son of Uzziel: Micah;
from the sons of Micah: Shamir.
25 The brother of Micah: Ishiah;
from the sons of Ishiah: Zechariah.
26 The sons of Merari:(P) Mahli and Mushi.
The son of Jaaziah: Beno.
27 The sons of Merari:
from Jaaziah: Beno, Shoham, Zakkur and Ibri.
28 From Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons.
29 From Kish: the son of Kish:
Jerahmeel.
30 And the sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder and Jerimoth.
These were the Levites, according to their families. 31 They also cast lots,(Q) just as their relatives the descendants of Aaron did, in the presence of King David and of Zadok, Ahimelek, and the heads of families of the priests and of the Levites. The families of the oldest brother were treated the same as those of the youngest.
