The First Book of The Chronicles

1Ch 24:1 Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Na´-dab, and A-bi´-hu, E-le-a´-zar, and Ith´-a-mar.

1Ch 24:2 But Na´-dab and A-bi´-hu died before their father, and had no children: therefore E-le-a´-zar and Ith´-a-mar executed the priest’s office.

1Ch 24:3 And David distributed them, both Za´-dok of the sons of E-le-a´-zar, and A-him´-e-lech of the sons of Ith´-amar, according to their offices in their service.

1Ch 24:4 And there were more chief men found of the sons of E-le-a´-zar than of the sons of Ith´-a-mar; and thus were they divided. Among the sons of E-lea´-zar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ith´-a-mar according to the house of their fathers.

1Ch 24:5 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the sons of E-lea´-zar, and of the sons of Ith´-a-mar.

1Ch 24:6 And She-ma´-iah the son of Nethan´-e-el the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Za´-dok the priest, and A-him´-e-lech the son of A-bi´-a-thar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for E-le-a´-zar, and one taken for Ith´-a-mar.
