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 note Abijah,


11   The ninth to Jeshuah, 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 Hezer, the eighteenth to Aphses,


16   The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,


17   The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul,


18   The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.


19   These were the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the Lord, according to their manner, under Aaron their father, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded him.


20   ¶2; And the rest of the sons of Levi were these: Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah.


21   Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah.


22   Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath.


23   And the sons of note Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jehaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.


24   Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah: of the sons of Michah; Shamir.


25   The brother of Michah was Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah.


26   The sons of Merari were Malhi, and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno.


27   ¶2; The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.


28   Of Mahli came Eleazar, who had no sons.


29   Concerning Kish: the son of Kish was Jerahmeel.


30   The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers.


31   These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren.
