1 Chronicles 24:1-9

1Now the divisions of the 1descendants of Aaron were these: 2the sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 23But Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no 4sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests. 3David, with 5Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their offices 6for their ministry. 4Since more chief men were found from the 7descendants of Eleazar than the 8descendants of Ithamar, they divided them thus: there were sixteen heads of fathers’ households of the 9descendants of Eleazar and eight of the 10descendants of Ithamar, according to their fathers’ households. 511Thus they were divided by lot, the one as the other; for they were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God, both from the 12descendants of Eleazar and the 13descendants of Ithamar. 6Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel the scribe, from the Levites, recorded them in the presence of the king, the princes, Zadok the priest, 14Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the priests and of the Levites; one father’s household taken for Eleazar and one taken for Ithamar.

7Now the first lot came out for Jehoiarib, the second for Jedaiah, 8the third for Harim, the fourth for Seorim, 9the fifth for Malchijah, the sixth for Mijamin,
