*
Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron .
The sons of Aaron ;
Nadab ,
and Abihu ,
Eleazar ,
and Ithamar .
*
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father ,
and had no children :
therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest '
s office .
*
And David distributed them ,
both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar ,
and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar ,
according to their offices in their service .
*
And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar ;
and thus were they divided .
Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers ,
and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers .
*
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 Eleazar ,
and of the sons of Ithamar .
*
And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe ,
one of the Levites ,
wrote them before the king ,
and the princes ,
and Zadok the priest ,
and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar ,
and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites :
one principal household being taken for Eleazar ,
and one taken for Ithamar .
*
Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib ,
the second to Jedaiah ,
*
The third to Harim ,
the fourth to Seorim ,
*
The fifth to Malchijah ,
the sixth to Mijamin ,
*
The seventh to Hakkoz ,
the eighth to Abijah ,
*
The ninth to Jeshua ,
the tenth to Shecaniah ,
*
The eleventh to Eliashib ,
the twelfth to Jakim ,
*
The thirteenth to Huppah ,
the fourteenth to Jeshebeab ,
*
The fifteenth to Bilgah ,
the sixteenth to Immer ,
*
The seventeenth to Hezir ,
the eighteenth to Aphses ,
*
The nineteenth to Pethahiah ,
the twentieth to Jehezekel ,
*
The one and twentieth to Jachin ,
the two and twentieth to Gamul ,
*
The three and twentieth to Delaiah ,
the four and twentieth to Maaziah .
*
These were the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD ,
according to their manner ,
under Aaron their father ,
as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him .
*
