1 Chronicles 23-24
Scripture Thought (What I Learned):
Chapter 23: Solomon is Made King
When
David was old and ready to return to his heavenly father he made his son
Solomon king over the land. David then gathered up all the princes in Israel,
and the priests with the Levites and had them all numbered, which was 38,000 men,
of which 24,000 men were charged with working in the house of the Lord and
6,000 were officers and judges. 4,000 were porters and 4,000 praised the Lord
with instruments.
David
divided them up into groups; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Of the Gershonites were: Laadan, and Shimei.
The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, Zetham,
and Joel.
The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, Haziel, and Haran.
The sons of Shimei were: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and
Beriah. And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second.
The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
The sons of Amramwere ; Aaron and Moses. Moses the
man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and
Eliezer.
The sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief. And
Eliezer had noother sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
The sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.
The sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second,
Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
The sons of Uzziel; Michah the first, and Jesiah the second.
And Eleazar died, and had only daughters, and the sons of
Kish married them.
The sons of Mushi; Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth.
These were the sons of Levi after the
house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were
counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for
the service of the house of the Lord, from the age of twenty years and
upward.
Chapter 24: Sons of Aaron and Levi Divided
The divisions of the sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu,
Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had
no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest’s office.
David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of
Eleazar, Ahimelech, and the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices of
service.
The sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar; were they
divided.
Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief
men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar
according to the house of their fathers.They were divided by lot.
7 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the
second to Jedaiah, the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, the fifth to
Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, the eleventh to Eliashib, the
twelfth to Jakim, the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, the fifteenth
to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, the seventeenth to Hezir, the
eighteenth to Aphses, the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,
the 21st to Jachin, the 22nd to Gamul, the 23rd
to Delaiah, and the 24th to Maaziah.
And the rest of the sons of Levi were these: the
