1 Chronicles 23:6-13 ▼

6 David divided them into groups corresponding to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

7 The Gershonites included Ladan and Shimei.

8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the oldest, Zetham, and Joel--three in all.

9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran--three in all. These were the leaders of the family of Ladan.

10 The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were Shimei's sons--four in all.

11 Jahath was the oldest and Zizah the second oldest. Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were considered one family with one responsibility.

12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel--four in all.

13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were chosen on a permanent basis to consecrate the most holy items, to offer sacrifices before the LORD, to serve him, and to praise his name.
