1 Chronicles 23

• 1. So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
• 2. And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
• 3. Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.
• 4. Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges:
• 5. Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.
• 6. And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
• 7. Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.
• 8. The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
• 9. The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
• 10. And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
• 11. And 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.
• 12. The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
• 13. The 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.
• 14. Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
• 15. The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.
• 16. Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
• 17. And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
• 18. Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.
• 19. Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
• 20. Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first and Jesiah 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 after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward.
• 25. For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:
• 26. And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.
• 27. For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:
• 28. Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;
• 29. Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;
• 30. And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even:
• 31. And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD:
• 32. And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 24

• 1. Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
• 2. But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
• 3. And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.
• 4. And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar, and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.
• 5. Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
• 6. And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.
• 7. Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
• 8. The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
• 9. The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
• 10. The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
• 11. The ninth to Jeshuah, the tenth to Shecaniah,
• 12. The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
• 13. The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,
• 14. The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
• 15. The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,
• 16. The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,
• 17. The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul,
• 18. The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.
• 19. These were the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.
• 20. And the rest of the sons of Levi were these: Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah.
• 21. Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah.
• 22. Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath.
• 23. And the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
• 24. Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah: of the sons of Michah; Shamir.
• 25. The brother of Michah was Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah.
• 26. The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno.
• 27. The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.
• 28. Of Mahli came Eleazar, who had no sons.
• 29. Concerning Kish: the son of Kish was Jerahmeel.
• 30. The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers.
• 31. These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren.

1 Peter 4

• 1. Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
• 2. That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
• 3. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
• 4. Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
• 5. Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
• 6. For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
• 7. But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
• 8. And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
• 9. Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
• 10. As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
• 11. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
• 12. Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
• 13. But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
• 14. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
• 15. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
• 16. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
• 17. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
• 18. And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
• 19. Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Micah 2

• 1. Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
• 2. And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
• 3. Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
• 4. In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
• 5. Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.
• 6. Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
• 7. O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
• 8. Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
• 9. The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
• 10. Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
• 11. If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
• 12. I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
• 13. The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.
