Chapter 24, describes the details of how David organized the priest. When God's orders are out of order we can always go back to God's original plan he gave Moses to write. We must maintain what God wants. This means periodically we must make sure we are walking by faith. This simply means we must have a general check-up before proceeding from God's original plan, which is the word of God.
When reading a list of names it can become confusing, however, when you reread the names through different sources and pray for a clear understanding of what is being read, God is more than ready to break down the passage, so that you can understand what the writer is trying to convey. When studying God's word it is good to position yourself in a quiet place with few distractions.
David went all the way back and found Aaron and his sons. Aaron had four sons and two of them died because they did not follow God's instructions. When we haphazardly do what God has assigned, God will move to someone else to get the job done correctly.
The first two sons of Aaron died, and God used the next two sons of Aaron. God never stopped his program because of the death of Nadab and Abihu's death. We must learn when God has given us an assignment it is to his glory. If we deviate from giving him glory we will be removed. Many people today ignore God's word and create a satanic operation to lead people. When we conduct our affairs without God, we will get the result of the person who is in charge of the payment we submit to. If God, then we will get the payment of blessings, if we decide to partner with the enemy who is the devil, we will be rewarded with the wages of sin, which is death.
The divisions of the sons of Aaron were these. The sons of iAaron: Nadab,Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 2 jBut Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no children, so Eleazar and Ithamar became the priests.
3 With the help ofkZadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, David organized them according to the appointed duties in their service.
4 Since more chief men were found among the sons of Eleazar than among the sons of Ithamar, they organized them under sixteen heads of fathers’ houses of the sons of Eleazar, and eight of the sons of Ithamar. 5 They divided them lby lot, all alike, for there were sacred officers and officers of God among both the sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar. 6 And the scribe Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded them in the presence of the king and the princes and Zadok the priest and mAhimelech the son of Abiathar and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and of the Levites, one father’s house being chosen for Eleazar and one chosen for Ithamar. 7 The first lot fell to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, 8 the third to Harim, the fourth toSeorim, 9 the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, 10 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to nAbijah, 11 the ninth to Jeshua, 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 Happizzez, 16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel, 17 the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul, 18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah. 19 These had as their appointed duty in their service oto come into the house of the LORD according to the procedure established for them by Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.
20 And of the rest of the sons of Levi: pof the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons ofShubael, Jehdeiah. 21 qOf Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, Isshiah the chief. 22 Of the Izharites, Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath. 23 rThe sons of Hebron: Jeriahthe chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth. 24 sThe sons of Uzziel, Micah; of the sons of Micah, Shamir. 25 The brother of Micah, Isshiah; of the sonsof Isshiah, Zechariah. 26 tThe sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Jaaziah:Beno. 27 The sons of Merari: of Jaaziah, Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri. 28 Of Mahli:Eleazar, uwho had no sons. 29 Of Kish, the sons of Kish: Jerahmeel. 30 vThe sons of Mushi:Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites according to their fathers’ houses. 31 These also, the head of each father’s house and his younger brother alike, cast lots, just as their brothers the sons of Aaron, in the presence of King David, xZadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of fathers’ houses of the priests and of the Levites.
