And they number the sons of Aaron in their division ,
Nadab ,
and Abiud ,
and Eleazar ,
and Ithamar .
*
And Nadab and Abiud died before their father ,
and they had no sons :
so Eleazar and Ithamar the sons of Aaron ministered as priests .
*
And David distributed them ,
even Sadoc of the sons of Eleazar ,
and Achimelech of the sons of Ithamar ,
according to their numbering ,
according to their service ,
according to the houses of their fathers .
*
And there were found among the sons of Eleazar more chiefs of the mighty ones ,
than of the sons of Ithamar :
and he divided them ,
sixteen heads of families to the sons of Eleazar ,
eight according to their families to the sons of Ithamar .
*
And he divided them according to their lots ,
one with the other ;
for there were those who had charge of the holy things ,
and those who (
