1 Chronicles 9:31-41

31 And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum, the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were made in the pans.
32 And other of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the showbread, to order it every sabbath.
33 And of these there were singers, princes of the fathers of the Levites, who remained in the chambers free from other work; for they were employed in that work day and night.
34 These heads of the fathers of the Levites were heads throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.
35 And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife’s name was Maachah;
36 and his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab,
37 Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and Mikloth.
38 And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, next to their brethren.
39 And Ner begat Kish, and Kish begat Saul, and Saul begat Jonathan, Malchishua, Abinadab, and Eshbaal.
40 And the son of Jonathan was Meribbaal, and Meribbaal begat Micah.
41 And the sons of Micah: Pithon, Melech, Tahrea, and Ahaz.
