1 Chronicles 24:25-31

25 Micah's brother was Isshiah, and Isshiah's son was Zechariah.

26 Merari's descendants were Mahli and Mushi. Merari's son was Jaaziah.

27 Jaaziah son of Merari had sons named Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri.

28 Mahli's son was Eleazar, but Eleazar did not have any sons.

29 Kish's son was Jerahmeel.

30 Mushi's sons were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These are the Levites, listed by their families.

31 They were chosen for special jobs by throwing lots in front of King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, the leaders of the families of the priests, and the Levites. They did this just as their relatives, the priests, Aaron's descendants, had done. The families of the oldest brother and the youngest brother were treated the same.
