This is how Aaron’s descendants, the priests, were divided into groups for service. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and they had no sons. So only Eleazar and Ithamar were left to carry on as priests.With the help of Zadok, who was a descendant of Eleazar, and of Ahimelech, who was a descendant of Ithamar, David divided Aaron’s descendants into groups according to their various duties.Eleazar’s descendants were divided into sixteen groups and Ithamar’s into eight, for there were more family leaders among the descendants of Eleazar.All tasks were assigned to the various groups by means of sacred lots so that no preference would be shown, for there were many qualified officials serving God in the sanctuary from among the descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar.Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, acted as secretary and wrote down the names and assignments in the presence of the king, the officials, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the family leaders of the priests and Levites. The descendants of Eleazar and Ithamar took turns casting lots.The first lot fell to Jehoiarib. The second lot fell to Jedaiah.The third lot fell to Harim. The fourth lot fell to Seorim.The fifth lot fell to Malkijah. The sixth lot fell to Mijamin.The seventh lot fell to Hakkoz. The eighth lot fell to Abijah.The ninth lot fell to Jeshua. The tenth lot fell to Shecaniah.The eleventh lot fell to Eliashib. The twelfth lot fell to Jakim.The thirteenth lot fell to Huppah. The fourteenth lot fell to Jeshebeab.The fifteenth lot fell to Bilgah. The sixteenth lot fell to Immer.The seventeenth lot fell to Hezir. The eighteenth lot fell to Happizzez.The nineteenth lot fell to Pethahiah. The twentieth lot fell to Jehezkel.The twenty first lot fell to Jakin. The twenty second lot fell to Gamul.The twenty third lot fell to Delaiah. The twenty fourth lot fell to Maaziah.Each group carried out its appointed duties in the house of the Lord according to the procedures established by their ancestor Aaron in obedience to the commands of the Lord, the God of Israel.These were the other family leaders descended from Levi: From the descendants of Amram, the leader was Shebuel. From the descendants of Shebuel, the leader was Jehdeiah.From the descendants of Rehabiah, the leader was Isshiah.From the descendants of Izhar, the leader was Shelomith. From the descendants of Shelomith, the leader was Jahath.From the descendants of Hebron, Jeriah was the leader, Amariah was second, Jahaziel was third, and Jekameam was fourth.From the descendants of Uzziel, the leader was Micah. From the descendants of Micah, the leader was Shamir,along with Isshiah, the brother of Micah. From the descendants of Isshiah, the leader was Zechariah.From the descendants of Merari, the leaders were Mahli and Mushi. From the descendants of Jaaziah, the leader was Beno.

I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts.

All the women who were skilled in sewing and spinning prepared blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine linen cloth.All the women who were willing used their skills to spin the goat hair into yarn.The leaders brought onyx stones and the special gemstones to be set in the ephod and the priest’s chestpiece.They also brought spices and olive oil for the light, the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense.So the people of Israel— every man and woman who was eager to help in the work the Lord had given them through Moses— brought their gifts and gave them freely to the Lord.Then Moses told the people of Israel,“ The Lord has specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.The Lord has filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts.He is a master craftsman, expert in working with gold, silver, and bronze.He is skilled in engraving and mounting gemstones and in carving wood. He is a master at every craft.And the Lord has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach their skills to others.The Lord has given them special skills as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet thread on fine linen cloth, and weavers. They excel as craftsmen and as designers.“ The Lord has gifted Bezalel, Oholiab, and the other skilled craftsmen with wisdom and ability to perform any task involved in building the sanctuary. Let them construct and furnish the Tabernacle, just as the Lord has commanded.”So Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and all the others who were specially gifted by the Lord and were eager to get to work.Moses gave them the materials donated by the people of Israel as sacred offerings for the completion of the sanctuary. But the people continued to bring additional gifts each morning.Finally the craftsmen who were working on the sanctuary left their work.

Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God.

The king also gave Solomon the instructions concerning the work of the various divisions of priests and Levites in the Temple of the Lord. And he gave specifications for the items in the Temple that were to be used for worship.

Then David ordered all the leaders of Israel to assist Solomon in this project.“ The Lord your God is with you,” he declared.“ He has given you peace with the surrounding nations. He has handed them over to me, and they are now subject to the Lord and his people.
