1 Chronicles 23:11-26 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

11. And Jahath was the head, and Ziza the second; and Jeush and Beriah had not many sons: as father's house, therefore, they were reckoned as one.

12. The sons of Kohath: Amram, Jizhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

13. The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was separated, that he should be hallowed as most holy, he and his sons for ever, to offer before Jehovah, to do service to him, and to bless in his name for ever.

14. --And as to Moses the man of God his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.

15. The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.

16. The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the head.

17. And the sons of Eliezer: Rehabiah the head; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

18. --The sons of Jizhar: Shelomith the head.

19. The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the head, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

20. The sons of Uzziel: Micah the head, and Jishijah the second.

21. The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.

22. And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters; and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.

23. The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.

24. These were the sons of Levi according to their fathers' houses, the chief fathers, as they were reckoned, by number of names by their polls, who did the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, from twenty years old and upward.

25. For David said, Jehovah the God of Israel has given rest to his people, and he will dwell in Jerusalem for ever;

26. and the Levites also have no more to carry the tabernacle, nor any of its vessels for its service.
