1 Chronicles 24:1-9

1Now these are the divisionsH4256 of the sonsH1121 of AaronH175. The sonsH1121 of AaronH175; NadabH5070, and AbihuH30, EleazarH499, and IthamarH385.

2But NadabH5070 and AbihuH30 diedH4191 beforeH6440 their fatherH1, and had no childrenH1121: therefore EleazarH499 and IthamarH385 executed the priest’s officeH3547.

3And DavidH1732 distributedH2505 them, both ZadokH6659 of the sonsH1121 of EleazarH499, and AhimelechH288 of the sonsH1121 of IthamarH385, according to their officesH6486 in their serviceH5656.

4And there were moreH7227 chiefH7218 menH1397 foundH4672 of the sonsH1121 of EleazarH499 than of the sonsH1121 of IthamarH385; and thus were they dividedH2505. Among the sonsH1121 of EleazarH499 there were sixteenH8337H6240 chief menH7218 of the houseH1004 of their fathersH1, and eightH8083 among the sonsH1121 of IthamarH385 according to the houseH1004 of their fathersH1.

5Thus were they dividedH2505 by lotH1486, one sortH428 with anotherH428; for the governorsH8269 of the sanctuaryH6944, and governorsH8269 of the house of GodH430, were of the sonsH1121 of EleazarH499, and of the sonsH1121 of IthamarH385.

6And ShemaiahH8098 the sonH1121 of NethaneelH5417 the scribeH5608, one of the LevitesH3881, recordedH3789 them beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and the princesH8269, and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and AhimelechH288 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54, and before the headsH7218 of the father’sH1 houses of the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881: oneH259 principalH1 householdH1004 being takenH270 for EleazarH499, and one takenH270 for IthamarH385.1

7Now the firstH7223 lotH1486 came forthH3318 to JehoiaribH3080, the secondH8145 to JedaiahH3048,

8The thirdH7992 to HarimH2766, the fourthH7243 to SeorimH8188,

9The fifthH2549 to MalchijahH4441, the sixthH8345 to MijaminH4326,
