1 Chronicles 6:1-32 ▼

1 The sons of Levi: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.

2 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

3 The sons of Amram: Aaron, Moses, and Miriam. The sons of Aaron: Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

4 Eleazar conceived Phinehas, and Phinehas conceived Abishua.

5 Truly, Abishua conceived Bukki, and Bukki conceived Uzzi.

6 Uzzi conceived Zerahiah, and Zerahiah conceived Meraioth.

7 Then Meraioth conceived Amariah, and Amariah conceived Ahitub.

8 Ahitub conceived Zadok, and Zadok conceived Ahimaaz.

9 Ahimaaz conceived Azariah; Azariah conceived Johanan.

10 Johanan conceived Azariah. He is the one who executed the priestly office in the house that Solomon built in Jerusalem.

11 Now Azariah conceived Amariah, and Amariah conceived Ahitub.

12 Ahitub conceived Zadok, and Zadok conceived Shallum.

13 Shallum conceived Hilkiah, and Hilkiah conceived Azariah.

14 Azariah conceived Seraiah, and Seraiah conceived Jehozadak.

15 Now Jehozadak departed, when the Lord took away Judah and Jerusalem, by the hands of Nebuchadnezzar.

16 So the sons of Levi were Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.

17 And these are the names of the sons of Gershom: Libni and Shimei.

18 The sons of Kohath: Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel.

19 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. And so these are the kindred of Levi, according to their families.

20 Of Gershom: Libni his son, Jahath his son, Zimmah his son,

21 Joah his son, Iddo his son, Zerah his son, Jeatherai his son.

22 The sons of Kohath: 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, Shaul his son.

25 The sons of Elkanah: Amasai and Ahimoth

26 and Elkanah. The sons of Elkanah: Zophai his son, Nahath his son,

27 Eliab his son, Jeroham his son, Elkanah his son.

28 The sons of Samuel: Vasseni the firstborn, and Abijah.

29 Now the sons of Merari were: Mahli, Libni his son, Shimei his son, Uzzah his son,

30 Shimea his son, Haggiah his son, Asaiah his son.

31 These are the ones whom David appointed over the singing men in the house of the Lord, in the place where the ark was located.

32 And they ministered before the tabernacle of the testimony with singing, until Solomon built the house of the Lord in Jerusalem. And they would stand according to their order in the ministry.
