Chapter 24 of 1 Chronicles—Revised Standard Version (RSV)

  1. ¶ The divisions of the sons of Aaron were these. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abi′hu, Elea′zar, and Ith′amar.
  2. But Nadab and Abi′hu died before their father, and had no children, so Elea′zar and Ith′amar became the priests.
  3. With the help of Zadok of the sons of Elea′zar, and Ahim′elech of the sons of Ith′amar, David organized them according to the appointed duties in their service.
  4. Since more chief men were found among the sons of Elea′zar than among the sons of Ith′amar, they organized them under sixteen heads of fathers’ houses of the sons of Elea′zar, and eight of the sons of Ith′amar.
  5. They organized them by lot, all alike, for there were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God among both the sons of Elea′zar and the sons of Ith′amar.
  6. And the scribe Shemai′ah the son of Nethan′el, a Levite, recorded them in the presence of the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahim′elech the son of Abi′athar, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and of the Levites; one father’s house being chosen for Elea′zar and one chosen for Ith′amar.
  7. ¶ The first lot fell to Jehoi′arib, the second to Jedai′ah,
  8. the third to Harim, the fourth to Se-o′rim,
  9. the fifth to Malchi′jah, the sixth to Mi′jamin,
  10. the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abi′jah,
  11. the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecani′ah,
  12. the eleventh to Eli′ashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
  13. the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jesheb′e-ab,
  14. the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
  15. the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Hap′pizzez,
  16. the nineteenth to Pethahi′ah, the twentieth to Jehez′kel,
  17. the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul,
  18. the twenty-third to Delai′ah, the twenty-fourth to Ma-azi′ah.
  19. These had as their appointed duty in their service to come into the house of the LORD according to the procedure established for them by Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.
  20. ¶ And of the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, Shu′ba-el; of the sons of Shu′ba-el, Jehde′iah.
  21. Of Rehabi′ah: of the sons of Rehabi′ah, Isshi′ah the chief.
  22. Of the Iz′harites, Shelo′moth; of the sons of Shelo′moth, Jahath.
  23. The sons of Hebron:[a] Jeri′ah the chief,[b] Amari′ah the second, Jaha′ziel the third, Jekame′am the fourth.
  24. The sons of Uz′ziel, Micah; of the sons of Micah, Shamir.
  25. The brother of Micah, Isshi′ah; of the sons of Isshi′ah, Zechari′ah.
  26. The sons of Merar′i: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Ja-azi′ah: Beno.
  27. The sons of Merar′i: of Ja-azi′ah, Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri.
  28. Of Mahli: Elea′zar, who had no sons.
  29. Of Kish, the sons of Kish: Jerah′meel.
  30. The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jer′imoth. These were the sons of the Levites according to their fathers’ houses.
  31. These also, the head of each father’s house and his younger brother alike, cast lots, just as their brethren the sons of Aaron, in the presence of King David, Zadok, Ahim′elech, and the heads of fathers’ houses of the priests and of the Levites.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.
