1 Chronicles 6New King James Version (NKJV)
The Family of Levi
6 The sons of Levi were Gershon,
Kohath, and Merari. 2 The sons of Kohath were Amram,
Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 3 The children of
Amram were Aaron, Moses, and Miriam. And the sons of
Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 4 Eleazar
begot Phinehas, and Phinehas begot Abishua; 5 Abishua
begot Bukki, and Bukki begot Uzzi; 6 Uzzi begot
Zerahiah, and Zerahiah begot Meraioth; 7 Meraioth
begot Amariah, and Amariah begot Ahitub; 8 Ahitub
begot Zadok, and Zadok begot Ahimaaz; 9 Ahimaaz
begot Azariah, and Azariah begot Johanan; 10 Johanan
begot Azariah (it was he who ministered as priest in the temple that Solomon
built in Jerusalem); 11 Azariah begot Amariah, and
Amariah begot Ahitub; 12 Ahitub begot Zadok, and
Zadok begot Shallum; 13 Shallum begot Hilkiah, and
Hilkiah begot Azariah; 14 Azariah begot Seraiah,
and Seraiah begot Jehozadak. 15 Jehozadak
went into captivity when the Lord carried Judah and
Jerusalem into captivity by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar.
16 The sons of Levi were Gershon,[a] Kohath, and
Merari. 17 These are the names of the sons of
Gershon: Libni and Shimei. 18 The sons of
Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 19 The
sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. Now these are the
families of the Levites according to their fathers: 20 Of
Gershon were Libni his son, Jahath his son, Zimmah his
son, 21 Joah his son, Iddo his son, Zerah his
son, and Jeatherai his son. 22 The
sons of Kohath were Amminadab his son, Korah his son, Assir
his son, 23 Elkanah his son, Ebiasaph his son,
Assir his son, 24 Tahath his son, Uriel his son,
Uzziah his son, and Shaul his son. 25 The sons of
Elkanah were Amasai and Ahimoth. 26 As
for Elkanah,[b] the sons of
Elkanah were Zophai[c] his son, Nahath[d] his son, 27 Eliab[e] his son, Jeroham his
son, and Elkanah his son. 28 The
sons of Samuel were Joel[f] the firstborn, and
Abijah the second.[g] 29 The
sons of Merari were Mahli, Libni his son, Shimei his son,
Uzzah his son, 30 Shimea his son, Haggiah his
son, and Asaiah his son.
Musicians in the House of the Lord
31 Now these are the men whom David
appointed over the service of song in the house of the Lord, after the ark
came to rest. 32 They were ministering with music
before the dwelling place of the tabernacle of meeting, until Solomon had built
the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, and they served in their office
according to their order.
33 And these are the
ones who ministered with their sons: Of the sons of the Kohathites were Heman
the singer, the son of Joel, the son of Samuel, 34 the
son of Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Eliel,[h] the son of Toah,[i] 35 the
son of Zuph, the son of Elkanah, the son of Mahath, the son of Amasai, 36 the
son of Elkanah, the son of Joel, the son of Azariah, the son of
Zephaniah, 37 the son of Tahath, the son of Assir,
the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, 38 the son
of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, the son of Israel. 39 And
his brother Asaph, who stood at his right hand, was Asaph the
son of Berachiah, the son of Shimea, 40 the son of
Michael, the son of Baaseiah, the son of Malchijah, 41 the
son of Ethni, the son of Zerah, the son of Adaiah, 42 the
son of Ethan, the son of Zimmah, the son of Shimei, 43 the
son of Jahath, the son of Gershon, the son of Levi.
44 Their brethren, the sons of
Merari, on the left hand, were Ethan the son of Kishi, the son
of Abdi, the son of Malluch, 45 the son of
Hashabiah, the son of Amaziah, the son of Hilkiah, 46 the
son of Amzi, the son of Bani, the son of Shamer, 47 the
son of Mahli, the son of Mushi, the son of Merari, the son of Levi.
48 And their brethren, the
Levites, were appointed to every kind of service of the
tabernacle of the house of God.
The Family of Aaron
49 But Aaron and his sons offered
sacrifices on the altar of burnt offering and on the altar of incense, for all
the work of the Most Holy Place, and to make atonement for
Israel, according to all that Moses the servant of God had commanded. 50 Now
these are the sons of Aaron: Eleazar his son, Phinehas his
son, Abishua his son, 51 Bukki his son, Uzzi his
son, Zerahiah his son, 52 Meraioth his son, Amariah
his son, Ahitub his son, 53 Zadok his son, and Ahimaaz
his son.
Dwelling Places of the Levites
54 Now these are their
dwelling places throughout their settlements in their territory, for they
were given by lot to the sons of Aaron, of the family of the
Kohathites: 55 They gave them Hebron in the land of
Judah, with its surrounding common-lands. 56 But
the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 57 And
to the sons of Aaron they gave one of the cities of refuge,
Hebron; also Libnah with its common-lands, Jattir, Eshtemoa with its
common-lands, 58 Hilen[j] with its common-lands,
Debir with its common-lands, 59 Ashan[k] with its common-lands,
and Beth Shemesh with its common-lands. 60 And from
the tribe of Benjamin: Geba with its common-lands, Alemeth[l] with its common-lands,
and Anathoth with its common-lands. All their cities among their families were thirteen.
61 To the rest of the family of the
tribe of the Kohathites they gave by lot ten cities from half
the tribe of Manasseh. 62 And to the sons of
Gershon, throughout their families, they gave thirteen cities
from the tribe of Issachar, from the tribe of Asher, from the tribe of
Naphtali, and from the tribe of Manasseh in Bashan. 63 To
the sons of Merari, throughout their families, they gave twelve
cities from the tribe of Reuben, from the tribe of Gad, and from the tribe of
Zebulun. 64 So the children of Israel gave these cities
with their common-lands to the Levites. 65 And they
gave by lot from the tribe of the children of Judah, from the tribe of the
children of Simeon, and from the tribe of the children of Benjamin these cities
which are called by their names.
66 Now some of the families of the
sons of Kohath were given cities as their territory from the
tribe of Ephraim. 67 And they gave them one
of the cities of refuge, Shechem with its common-lands, in the
mountains of Ephraim, also Gezer with its common-lands, 68 Jokmeam
with its common-lands, Beth Horon with its common-lands, 69 Aijalon
with its common-lands, and Gath Rimmon with its common-lands. 70 And
from the half-tribe of Manasseh: Aner with its common-lands and Bileam with its
common-lands, for the rest of the family of the sons of Kohath.
71 From the family of the half-tribe
of Manasseh the sons of Gershon were given Golan in Bashan
with its common-lands and Ashtaroth with its common-lands. 72 And
from the tribe of Issachar: Kedesh with its common-lands, Daberath with its
common-lands, 73 Ramoth with its common-lands, and
Anem with its common-lands. 74 And from the tribe
of Asher: Mashal with its common-lands, Abdon with its common-lands, 75 Hukok
with its common-lands, and Rehob with its common-lands. 76 And
from the tribe of Naphtali: Kedesh in Galilee with its common-lands, Hammon
with its common-lands, and Kirjathaim with its common-lands.
77 From the tribe of Zebulun the rest
of the children of Merari were given Rimmon[m] with its common-lands
and Tabor with its common-lands. 78 And on the
other side of the Jordan, across from Jericho, on the east side of the
Jordan, they were given from the tribe of Reuben: Bezer in the
wilderness with its common-lands, Jahzah with its common-lands, 79 Kedemoth
with its common-lands, and Mephaath with its common-lands. 80 And
from the tribe of Gad: Ramoth in Gilead with its common-lands, Mahanaim with
its common-lands, 81 Heshbon with its common-lands,
and Jazer with its common-lands.
