The Divisions of the Priests
24 The divisions of the descendants of Aaron were as follows: Aaron’s sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.(A) 2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and they had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.(B) 3 Together with Zadok(C) from the descendants of Eleazar and Ahimelech from the descendants of Ithamar, David divided them according to the assigned duties of their service. 4 Since more leaders were found among Eleazar’s descendants than Ithamar’s, they were divided accordingly: sixteen heads of ancestral families[a] were from Eleazar’s descendants, and eight heads of ancestral families were from Ithamar’s. 5 They(D) were assigned by lot, for there were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God among both Eleazar’s and Ithamar’s descendants.
6 The secretary, Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded them in the presence of the king and the officers, the priest Zadok, Ahimelech(E) son of Abiathar, and the heads of families of the priests and the Levites. One ancestral family[b] was taken for Eleazar, and then one 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 Abijah,(F)
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 had their assigned duties for service when they entered the Lord’s temple, according to their regulations, which they received from their ancestor Aaron, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded him.
The Rest of the Levites
20 As for the rest of Levi’s sons:
from Amram’s sons: Shubael;
from Shubael’s sons: Jehdeiah.
21 From Rehabiah:
from Rehabiah’s sons: Isshiah was the first.
22 From the Izharites: Shelomoth;
from Shelomoth’s sons: Jahath.
Jeriah the first, Amariah the second,

28 From Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons.

24 Los descendientes de Aarón también tenían sus turnos. Los hijos de Aarón fueron Nadab, Abihú, Eleazar e Itamar. 2 Pero como Nadab y Abihú murieron antes que su padre, sin haber tenido hijos, Eleazar e Itamar se encargaron del sacerdocio.
3 David, con la ayuda de Sadoc, descendiente de Eleazar, y de Ahimélec, descendiente de Itamar, los repartió en turnos para que desempeñaran sus oficios. 4 Pero como se dieron cuenta de que los varones descendientes de Eleazar eran más numerosos que los de Itamar, fueron repartidos de modo que quedaron dieciséis jefes de descendientes de Eleazar y ocho de descendientes de Itamar. 5 Los turnos se repartieron por suertes entre todos, pues tanto entre los descendientes de Eleazar como entre los de Itamar había funcionarios sagrados, funcionarios de Dios.
6 Luego Semaías el secretario, hijo de Natanael y uno de los levitas, escribió sus nombres en presencia del rey, de los jefes, del sacerdote Sadoc, de Ahimélec, hijo de Abiatar, y de los jefes de familia de los sacerdotes y de los levitas. Los turnos se sacaban por suerte, dos turnos para los descendientes de Eleazar y uno para los de Itamar.
7-18 Al sacar las suertes, quedaron los turnos en el siguiente orden, del primero al vigesimocuarto:
Joiarib
Jedaías
Harim
Seorim
Malquías
Mijamín
Cos
Abías
Jesús
Secanías
Eliasib
Jaquim
Hupá
Jesebab
Bilgá
Imer
Hezir
Pisés
Petahías
Hezequiel
Jaquín
Gamul
Delaías
Maazías
19 Así pues, se repartieron los turnos para servir en el templo, según las normas que el Señor, Dios de Israel, había ordenado por medio de Aarón, antepasado de ellos.
20 Los levitas que quedaban eran: Subael, de los descendientes de Amram; Jehedías, de los de Subael; 21 Isías, que era el mayor, de los de Rehabías; 22 Selomot, de los de Ishar; Jáhat, de los de Selomot; 23 de los descendientes de Hebrón: Jerías, el primero; Amarías, el segundo; Jahaziel, el tercero; y Jecamán, el cuarto. 24 Estaban también: Micaías, hijo de Uziel; Samir, hijo de Micaías; 25 Isías, hermano de Micaías; Zacarías, hijo de Isías; 26 Mahli y Musí, hijos de Merarí; los hijos de Jaazías, hijo también de Merarí. 27 De los descendientes de Merarí, por parte de Jaazías, su hijo, estaban Sóham, Zacur e Ibrí; 28 y por parte de Mahli, Eleazar, que no tuvo hijos, 29 y Quis; Jerahmeel, hijo de Quis; 30 los hijos de Musí, que eran Mahli, Éder y Jerimot.
Éstos eran los levitas por familias. 31 También ellos se repartieron por suertes, tanto la familia del jefe como la del hermano menor, igual que sus parientes los descendientes de Aarón, en presencia del rey David, de Sadoc, Ahimélec y los jefes de familia de los sacerdotes y de los levitas.

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.
