1 Chronicles 24:1 The divisions of the descendants of Aaron were as follows: Aaron’s sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

1 Chronicles 24:2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and they had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.

1 Chronicles 24:3 Together with Zadok from the descendants of Eleazar and Ahimelech from the descendants of Ithamar, David divided them according to the assigned duties of their service.

1 Chronicles 24:4 Since more leaders were found among Eleazar’s descendants than Ithamar’s, they were divided accordingly: sixteen heads of ancestral families were from Eleazar’s descendants, and eight heads of ancestral houses were from Ithamar’s.

1 Chronicles 24:5 They were assigned by lot, for there were captains of the sacred place and officers of God among both Eleazar’s and Ithamar’s descendants.

1 Chronicles 24:6 The secretary, Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded them in the presence of the king and the captains, the priest Zadok, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the heads of houses of the priests and the Levites.
