1 Chronicles 23:9-19

9 Shimei had three sons: Shelomith, Haziel, and Haran. They were the heads of Ladan's families.

10 Shimei's sons were Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. They were Shimei's four sons.

11 Jahath was the first, and Ziza was the second. Jeush and Beriah didn't have many sons, so they were given an assignment as one family.

12 Kohath had four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

13 Amram's sons were Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his sons were forever designated to dedicate the most holy things [to God], to offer sacrifices to the LORD, to serve him, and always give the blessing in his name.

14 The sons of Moses, the man of God, were counted with the tribe of Levi.

15 Moses' sons were Gershom and Eliezer.

16 Gershom's only son was Shebuel.

17 Eliezer's only son was Rehabiah. Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah had many sons.

18 Izhar's only son was Shelomith.

19 Hebron's first son was Jeriah; his second was Amariah; his third was Jahaziel; his fourth was Jekameam.

1 Chronicles 23:9-19 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 23

In this chapter David makes Solomon king, 1Ch 23:1, calls together the princes, priests, and Levites, numbers the latter, and assigns them their proper work, 1Ch 23:2-5, divides them into three classes, 1Ch 23:6-23, when the number of them was taken from twenty years of age, and upwards; the reasons of which are given, partly from the rest the land enjoyed, and partly from the several branches of their work and office in the temple, 1Ch 23:24-32.
