1 Chronicles 24
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
24 Now these were the divisions of the sons of Aaron: The sons of Aaron: Nadab, and Abiu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 But Nadab and Abiu died before their father, and had no children: so Eleazar, and Ithamar did the office of the priesthood.
3 And David distributed them, that is, Sadoc of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their courses and ministry.
4 And there were found many more of the sons of Eleazar among the principal men, than of the sons of Ithamar. And he divided them so, that there were of the sons of Eleazar, sixteen chief men by their families: and of the sons of Ithamar eight by their families and houses.
5 And he divided both the families one with the other by lot: for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
6 And Semeias the son of Nathanael the scribe a Levite, wrote them down before the king and the princes, and Sadoc the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the princes also of the priestly and Levitical families: one house, which was over the rest, of Eleazar: and another house, which had the rest under it, of Ithamar.
7 Now the first lot came forth to Joiarib, the second to Jedei,
8 The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
9 The fifth to Melchia, the sixth to Maiman,
10 The seventh to Accos, the eighth to Abia,
11 The ninth to Jesua, the tenth to Sechenia,
12 The eleventh to Eliasib, the twelfth to Jacim,
13 The thirteenth to Hoppha, the fourteenth to Isbaab,
14 The fifteenth to Belga, the sixteenth to Emmer,
15 The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,
16 The nineteenth to Pheteia, the twentieth to Hezechiel,
17 The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul,
18 The three and twentieth to Dalaiau, the four and twentieth to Maaziau.
19 These are their courses according to their ministries, to come into the house of the Lord, and according to their manner under the hand of Aaron their father: as the Lord the God of Israel had commanded.
20 Now of the rest of the sons of Levi, there was of the sons of Amram, Subael: and of the sons of Subael, Jehedeia.
21 Also of the sons of Rohobia the chief Jesias.
22 And the son of Isaar Salemoth, and the son of Salemoth Jahath:
23 And his son Jeriau the first, Amarias the second, Jahaziel the third, Jecmaan the fourth.
24 The son of Oziel, Micha: the son of Micha, Samir.
25 The brother of Micha, Jesia: and the son of Jesia, Zacharias.
26 The sons of Merari: Moholi and Musi: the son of Oziau: Benno.
27 The son also of Merari: Oziau, and Seam, and Zacchur, and Hebri.
28 And the son of Moholi: Eleazar, who had no sons.
29 And the son of Cis, Jeramael.
30 The sons of Musi: Moholi, Eder, and Jerimoth. These are the sons of Levi according to the houses of their families.
31 And they also cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron before David the king, and Sadoc, and Ahimelech, and the princes of the priestly and Levitical families, both the elder and the younger. The lot divided all equally.

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.

1 Chronik 24
Schlachter 1951
Die 24 Priesterklassen
24 Folgendes sind die Abteilungen der Söhne Aarons: Die Söhne Aarons waren: Nadab und Abihu, Eleasar und Itamar.
2 Aber Nadab und Abihu starben vor dem Angesicht ihres Vaters und hatten keine Kinder; und Eleasar und Itamar wurden Priester.
3 Und David teilte sie, zusammen mit Zadok, aus den Söhnen Eleasars, und mit Achimelech, aus den Söhnen Itamars, in ihre Dienstklassen ein.
4 Es fand sich aber, daß die Söhne Eleasars an Familienhäuptern zahlreicher waren als die Söhne Itamars. Daher teilte man sie so ein, daß sechzehn Familienhäupter auf die Söhne Eleasars, und acht auf die Söhne Itamars kamen.
5 Und zwar teilte man sie durchs Los ein, die einen wie die andern, denn es gab sowohl unter den Söhnen Eleasars als auch unter den Söhnen Itamars“Fürsten des Heiligtums“ und „Fürsten Gottes“.
6 Und Semaja, der Schreiber, der Sohn Nataneels, aus den Leviten, schrieb sie auf vor dem König und vor den Obersten und vor Zadok, dem Priester, und vor Achimelech, dem Sohn Abjatars, und vor den Familienhäuptern unter den Priestern und Leviten; je ein Vaterhaus ward ausgelost von Eleasar und je eines ward ausgelost von Itamar.
7 Und das erste Los fiel auf Jojarib, das zweite auf Jedaja,
8 das dritte auf Harim, das vierte auf Seorim,
9 das fünfte auf Malchija, das sechste auf Mijamin,
10 das siebente auf Hakkoz, das achte auf Abija,
11 das neunte auf Jesua, das zehnte auf Sechanja,
12 das elfte auf Eljaschib, das zwölfte auf Jakim,
13 das dreizehnte auf Huppa, das vierzehnte auf Jeschebab,
14 das fünfzehnte auf Bilga, das sechzehnte auf Immer,
15 das siebzehnte auf Hesir, das achtzehnte auf Happizaz.
16 Das neunzehnte auf Petachja, das zwanzigste auf Jecheskel,
17 das einundzwanzigste auf Jachin, das zweiundzwanzigste auf Gamul,
18 das dreiundzwanzigste auf Delaja, das vierundzwanzigste auf Maasja.
19 Das ist die Reihenfolge ihres Dienstes, nach welcher sie in das Haus des Herrn zu gehen haben nach ihrer Ordnung, [gegeben] durch ihren Vater Aaron, wie ihm der Herr, der Gott Israels, geboten hatte.
Die Häupter der Levitenklassen
20 Aber betreffs der übrigen Söhne Levis war unter den Söhnen Amrams Schubael. Unter den Söhnen Schubaels war Jechdeja. 21 Von Rechabja: Unter den Söhnen Rechabjas war Jischia das Oberhaupt. 22 Unter den Jizharitern war Selomot. Unter den Söhnen Selomots war Jachat. 23 Die Söhne [Hebrons] waren: Jeria, das Oberhaupt; Amarja, der zweite; Jahasiel, der dritte; Jekameam, der vierte. 24 Die Söhne Ussiels waren: Micha. Unter den Söhnen Michas war Samir. 25 Der Bruder Michas war Jischia. Unter den Söhnen Jischias war Sacharja. 26 Die Söhne Meraris waren: Machli und Muschi. 27 Die Söhne Jaasias: Beno, die Söhne Meraris von Jaasia waren:Beno, Soham, Sakkur und Ibri. 28 Von Machli aber war Eleasar; und dieser hatte keine Söhne; 29 von Kis: unter den Söhnen des Kis war Jerachmeel. 30 Die Söhne Muschis waren: Machli, Eder und Jerimot.
Das sind die Söhne der Leviten nach ihren Vaterhäusern. 31 Und auch sie warfen Lose gleich wie ihre Brüder, die Söhne Aarons, vor dem König David und vor Zadok und Achimelech und vor den Familienhäuptern der Priester und Leviten, und zwar die Familienhäupter ganz gleich wie ihre jüngeren Brüder.
