1 Chronicles 24:1-5
Divisions of the Levites
1 Now the divisions of the ▼▼Lit sons
descendants of Aaron were these: bthe sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 2 cBut Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no ▼▼Or children
sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests. 3David, with eZadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their offices ▼▼Lit in their service
for their ministry. 4Since more chief men were found from the ▼▼Lit sons
descendants of Eleazar than the ▼▼Lit sons
descendants of Ithamar, they divided them this way: there were sixteen heads of fathers’ households of the ▼▼Lit sons
descendants of Eleazar, and eight of the ▼▼Lit sons
descendants of Ithamar according to their fathers’ households. 5 kSo they were divided by lot, the one as the other; for they were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God, both from the ▼▼Lit sons
descendants of Eleazar and the ▼▼Lit sons
descendants of Ithamar.
