1 Chronicles 24:1 - 19
1Now
these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of
Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2But Nadab and
Abihu died before their father, and had no children:
therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's
office.
3And David
distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and
Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their
offices in their service.
4And 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.
5Thus 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.
6And 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.
7Now the first
lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
8The third to
Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
9The fifth to
Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
10The seventh to
Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
11The ninth to
Jeshuah, the tenth to Shecaniah,
12The eleventh to
Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
13The thirteenth
to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,
14The fifteenth
to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
15The seventeenth
to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,
16The nineteenth
to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,
17The one and
twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul,
18The three and
twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.
19These 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.
