6 The sons of Levi were Gershon^[a], Kohath, and Merari.

⁸ Ahitub begat Zadok, Zadok begat Ahimaaz,

⁹ Ahimaaz begat Azariah, Azariah begat Johanan,

¹⁰ Johanan begat Azariah; he it is that was set in priesthood, in the house that Solomon builded in Jerusalem. (Johanan begat Azariah; it was he who served as High Priest, in the House that Solomon built in Jerusalem.)

¹¹ Forsooth Azariah begat Amariah, and Amariah begat Ahitub,

¹² Ahitub begat Zadok, Zadok begat Shallum,

¹³ Shallum begat Hilkiah, Hilkiah begat Azariah,
