1 Chronicles 24:1-9

1These were the divisionsH4256 of the descendantsH1121 of AaronH175. The sonsH1121 of AaronH175 were NadabH5070, AbihuH30, EleazarH499, and IthamarH385. 2But NadabH5070 and AbihuH30 diedH4191 beforeH6440 their father didH1, and they hadH1961 noH3808 sonsH1121; so EleazarH499 and IthamarH385 served as priestsH3547.

3With the help of Eleazar’sH499 descendantH1121 ZadokH6659 and Ithamar’sH385 descendantH1121 AhimelechH288, DavidH1732 divided themH2505 according to the officesH6486 of their serviceH5656. 4Since moreH7227 leadersH7218H1397 were foundH4672 among Eleazar’sH499 descendantsH1121 thanH4480 those of IthamarH385, they were divided accordinglyH2505. There were sixteenH8337H6240 headsH7218 of familiesH1 from the descendantsH1121H1004 of EleazarH499 and eightH8083 from the descendantsH1121H1004 of IthamarH385.

5Thus they were dividedH2505 by lotH1486H428H5973, forH3588 there wereH1961 officersH8269 of the sanctuaryH6944 and officersH8269 of GodH430 among both Eleazar’sH499H1121 and Ithamar’sH385 descendantsH1121.

6The scribeH5608H4480, ShemaiahH8098 sonH1121 of NethanelH5417, a LeviteH3881, recordedH3789 their names in the presenceH6440 of the kingH4428 and of the officersH8269: ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, AhimelechH288 sonH1121 of AbiatharH54, and the headsH7218 of familiesH1 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881—oneH259 familyH1H1004 being takenH270 from EleazarH499H270, and then oneH270 from IthamarH385.

7The firstH7223 lotH1486 fellH3318 to JehoiaribH3080, the secondH8145 to JedaiahH3048, 8the thirdH7992 to HarimH2766, the fourthH7243 to SeorimH8188, 9the fifthH2549 to MalchijahH4441, the sixthH8345 to MijaminH4326,
