New International Version |   | |
 |
| |
| | 1Ch 24:1 | These were the divisions of the sons of Aaron: The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
| |
| | 1Ch 24:2 | But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, and they had no sons; so Eleazar and Ithamar served as the priests.
| |
| | 1Ch 24:3 | With the help of Zadok a descendant of Eleazar and Ahimelech a descendant of Ithamar, David separated them into divisions for their appointed order of ministering.
| |
| | 1Ch 24:4 | A larger number of leaders were found among Eleazar's descendants than among Ithamar's, and they were divided accordingly: sixteen heads of families from Eleazar's descendants and eight heads of families from Ithamar's descendants.
| |
| | 1Ch 24:5 | They divided them impartially by drawing lots, for there were officials of the sanctuary and officials of God among the descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar.
| |
| | 1Ch 24:6 | The scribe Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded their names in the presence of the king and of the officials: Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar and the heads of families of the priests and of the Levites--one family being taken from Eleazar and then one from Ithamar.
