1 Chronicles 23:7-23

Solomon Reigns

⁷Of the Gershonites there were Ladan and Shimei. ⁸The sons of Ladan were Jehiel the first, and Zetham and Joel, three. ⁹The sons of Shimei were Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan. ¹⁰The sons of Shimei were Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. ¹¹Jahath was the first and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became a father’s household, one group for duty.

Kohathites

¹²The sons of Kohath were four in number: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. ¹³The sons of Amram were Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was set apart to sanctify him as most holy, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the Lord, to serve Him and bless in His name forever. ¹⁴But as for Moses, the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi. ¹⁵The sons of Moses were Gershom and Eliezer. ¹⁶The son of Gershom was Shebuel the chief. ¹⁷The son of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many. ¹⁸The son of Izhar was Shelomith the chief. ¹⁹The sons of Hebron were Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. ²⁰The sons of Uzziel were Micah the first and Isshiah the second.

Merarites

²¹The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli were Eleazar and Kish. ²²Eleazar died and had no sons, but only daughters; so their relatives, the sons of Kish, took them as wives. ²³The sons of Mushi were three: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth.
