1 Chronicles 23:6-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 23
6David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7Of the Gershonites there were Ladan and Shimei.
8The sons of Ladan were Jehiel the first, and Zetham and Joel, three.
9The sons of Shimei were Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.
10The sons of Shimei were Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
11Jahath was the first and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became a father’s household, one group for duty.
12The sons of Kohath were four in number: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
13The sons of Amram were Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was set apart to sanctify him as most holy, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the Lord, to serve Him and bless in His name forever.
14But as for Moses, the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
15The sons of Moses were Gershom and Eliezer.
16The son of Gershom was Shebuel the chief.
17The son of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18The son of Izhar was Shelomith the chief.
19The sons of Hebron were Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20The sons of Uzziel were Micah the first and Isshiah the second.
King James Version
Chapter 23
6And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 7Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei. 8The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three. 9The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan. 10And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. 11And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father's house. 12The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four. 13The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever. 14Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi. 15The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer. 16Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief. 17And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many. 18Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief. 19Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. 20Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah the first, and Jesiah the second. 21The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 23
6Then David divided them into divisions according to Levi's sons: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.
9Shimei's sons: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran--three. Those were the heads of the families of Ladan.
10Shimei's sons: Jahath, Zizah, Jeush, and Beriah. Those were Shimei's sons--four.
13Amram's sons: Aaron and Moses. Aaron, along with his descendants, was set apart forever to consecrate the most holy things, to burn incense in the presence of the Lord, to minister to him, and to pronounce blessings in his name forever.
14As for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
New Living Translation
7The Gershonite family units were defined by their lines of descent from Libni and Shimei, the sons of Gershon.
8Three of the descendants of Libni were Jehiel (the family leader), Zetham, and Joel.
9These were the leaders of the family of Libni. Three of the descendants of Shimei were Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran.
10Four other descendants of Shimei were Jahath, Ziza, Jeush, and Beriah.
11Jahath was the family leader, and Ziza was next. Jeush and Beriah were counted as a single family because neither had many sons.

9The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ houses of Ladan.

12The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four in all.
13The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was set apart, he and his sons forever, that he should sanctify the most holy things, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister to Him, and to give the blessing in His name forever.
