10 Priests in ServiceFrom the priests there were Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, Jachin,
11 and Hilkiah’s son Azariah, who was fathered by Meshullam, who was fathered by Zadok, who was fathered by Meraioth, who was fathered by Ahitub, the Chief Operating Officer of the Temple of God.
12 There was Jeroham’s son Adaiah, who was fathered by Pashhur, who was fathered by Malchijah, and Adiel’s son Maasai, who was fathered by Jahzerah, who was fathered by Meshullam, who was fathered by Meshillemith, who was fathered by Immer,
13 along with 1,760 of their relatives, who were leaders of their ancestral households, valiant and qualified to serve in the Temple of God.
14Levitical FamiliesFrom the descendants of Levi there was Hasshub’s son Shemaiah, who was the grandson of Azrikam, who was fathered by Hashabiah, from the descendants of Merari;
15 along with Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, and Mica’s son Mattaniah, who was the grandson of Zichri and great-grandson of Asaph,
16 and Shemaiah’s son Obadiah, who was the grandson of Galal, who was fathered by Jeduthun, and Asa’s son Berechiah, who was the grandson of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.
17 The gatekeepers included Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and other relatives. Shallum was the leader. 18 He used to be stationed in the King’s Gate on the east side as one of the gatekeepers of the camp belonging to the descendants of Levi. 19 Kore’s son Shallum, who was the grandson of Ebiasaph and the great-grandson of Korah, and the descendants of Korah (who were relatives of his ancestral house) were over the service responsibilities and served as guardians of the entrances of the Tent, just as their ancestors had been in charge of the camp of the LORD and guardians of the entrance. 20 Eleazar’s son Phinehas used to be Commander-in-Chief over them—the LORD was with him. 21 Meshelemiah’s son Zechariah was gatekeeper at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 22 All these, who had been set apart as gatekeepers at the entrances, numbered 212 and had been enrolled by genealogies in their villages.
David and Samuel the seer installed them in their positions of trust, 23 so they and their descendants were in charge of the gates of the house of the LORD, that is, the House of the Tent, as guardians. 24 The guardians were stationed on four sides—east, west, north, and south. 25 Their relatives who lived in their villages were required to visit every seven days to be with them in turn, 26 because the four senior gatekeepers (who were descendants of Levi) had been placed in charge of the chambers and the treasury of the Temple of God. 27 They spent the night near the Temple of God, since they had been entrusted to guard it. They were in charge of opening it every morning.
28 Some were responsible for the service utensils, and they were required to take an inventory of them when they were brought in and out. 29 Others were responsible for the furniture and for all of the holy utensils, including the flour, wine, oil, incense, and spices. 30 Other descendants of the priests prepared the mixed spices. 31 Mattithiah, a descendant of Levi and firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, was in charge of making the offering cakes. 32 Some of their Kohathite relatives were responsible to prepare the rows of bread for each Sabbath. 33 These singers, leaders of ancestral households of the descendants of Levi, were living in the chambers of the Temple. Freed from other service responsibilities, they were on duty day and night. 34 These leaders of the descendants of Levi, enrolled according to their genealogies, lived in Jerusalem.

1 Chronicles 23:1-26
1 The Levitical DivisionsAfter David had reached old age, and had completed his reign, he set his son Solomon as king over Israel.
2 David then gathered together all of the leaders of Israel, including the priests and descendants of Levi.
3 descendants of Levi 30 years old and above were counted for a total of 38,000.
4 “24,000 of these,” David said, “are to be set in charge of the work of the Temple of the LORD, with 6,000 serving as officers and judges,
5 with 4,000 gatekeepers, and with 4,000 offering praises to the LORD with the musical instruments that I have had crafted.”
6 David divided them into divisions based on Gershon, Kohath, and Merari, Levi’s sons.
7An Abbreviated Genealogy of Levi’s SonsThe descendants of Gershon were Ladan and Shimei.
8 The three descendants of Ladan included Jehiel (their chief), Zetham, and Joel.
9 The three descendants of Shimei included Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran. These were the heads of families of Ladan.
10 The descendants of Shimei included Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were sons of Shimei. 11 Jahath served as chief and Zizah was second in rank, but since Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, they were enrolled as a single family unit.
12 The four descendants of Kohath included Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 13 The descendants of Amram included Aaron and Moses. Aaron had been set apart to consecrate the most holy things, with the intent that he and his sons should present offerings in the LORD’s presence forever, ministering to him and pronouncing blessings in his name forever.
14 Meanwhile, as for Moses the man of God, his sons were considered among the tribe of Levi. 15 The descendants of Moses included Gershom and Eliezer. 16 The descendants of Gershom included Shebuel as their chief.
17 The descendants of Eliezer included Rehabiah as their chief. Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah had many descendants.
18 The descendants of Izhar included Shelomith their chief.
19 The descendants of Hebron included Jeriah their chief, Amariah their second in rank, Jahaziel their third, and Jekameam their fourth.
20 The descendants of Uzziel included Micah their chief and Isshiah their second in rank.
21 The descendants of Merari included Mahli and Mushi. The descendants of Mahli included Eleazar and Kish, 22 but Eleazar died having no sons, but only daughters. Their relatives (the descendants of Kish) married them. 23 The three descendants of Mushi included Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth.
24 These were the descendants of Levi according to their ancestral households, with family heads documented according to the names of persons 20 years and older who were appointed to perform work in service to the Temple of the LORD.
25 For David had said “The LORD God of Israel has granted rest to his people, and he has taken Israel as his eternal residence. 26 Therefore the descendants of Levi are no longer to carry the Tent or its service implements.”
6 David divided them into divisions based on Gershon, Kohath, and Merari, Levi’s sons.

10 The descendants of Shimei included Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were sons of Shimei. 11 Jahath served as chief and Zizah was second in rank, but since Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, they were enrolled as a single family unit.

20 The descendants of Uzziel included Micah their chief and Isshiah their second in rank.

24 These were the descendants of Levi according to their ancestral households, with family heads documented according to the names of persons 20 years and older who were appointed to perform work in service to the Temple of the LORD.
25 For David had said “The LORD God of Israel has granted rest to his people, and he has taken Israel as his eternal residence. 26 Therefore the descendants of Levi are no longer to carry the Tent or its service implements.”
1 Chronicles 24:1
1 The Priestly DivisionsWith respect to the descendants of Aaron, classes of service were organized for Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, the descendants of Aaron.
2 Chronicles 8:14
14 Following proscriptions laid down by his father David, Solomon appointed divisions of priests for their service as well as descendants of Levi for duties of praise and ministry before the priests consistent with the daily rules. Furthermore, because David, the man of God, had commanded it, Solomon also appointed gatekeepers to serve by divisions at every gate of the Temple.
