22 And Shelomoth was prince of Izharites; and the son of Shelomoth was Jahath; (And Shelomoth was the leader of the Izharites; and Shelomoth's son was Jahath;)
23 and (the sons of Hebron); his first son was Jeriah, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
24 The son of Uzziel was Michah; the son of Michah was Shamir;
25 the brother of Michah was Isshiah; and the son of Isshiah was Zechariah.
26 The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi; the son of Jaaziah was Beno; (The sons of Merari were Mahli, and Mushi, and Jaaziah his son;)
27 and the son of Merari was Jaaziah, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri. (and the sons of Merari, of Jaaziah, were Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.)
28 And the son of Mahli was Eleazar, which had not free sons; (And the son of Mahli was Eleazar, who had no sons;)
29 and the son of Kish was Jerahmeel;
30 the sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of Levi, by the houses of their families.
31 Also and they sent lots (over) against their brethren, the sons of Aaron, before David the king, and before Zadok, and Ahimelech, and before the princes of the families of [the] priests, and of deacons; [the] lot parted evenly all things, both the greater and the less. (And they cast lots side by side with their kinsmen, the sons of Aaron, before King David, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the leaders of the families of the priests, and of the Levites; and the lot evenly divided all, both the greater and the lesser alike.)
