| 1 |
The divisions of the sons of Aaron: his sons were Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. | The work assigned to the priests. 1Chr.24.1-19 |
| 2 |
Nadab and Abihu died before their father, leaving no sons; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar held the office of priest. | |
| 3 |
David, acting with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and with Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, organized them in divisions for the discharge of the duties of their office. | |
| 4 |
The male heads of families proved to be more numerous in the line of Eleazar than in that of Ithamar, so that sixteen heads of families were grouped under the line of Eleazar and eight under that of Ithamar. | |
| 5 |
He organized them by drawing lots among them, for there were sacred officers and officers of God in the line of Eleazar and in that of Ithamar. | |
| 6 |
Shemaiah the clerk, a Levite, son of Nethaneel, wrote down the names in the presence of the king, the officers, Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and of the heads of the priestly and levitical families, one priestly family being taken from the line of Eleazar and one from that of Ithamar. | |
| 7 |
The first lot fell to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, | |
| 8 |
the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, | |
| 9 |
the fifth to Malchiah, the sixth to Mijamin, | |
| 10 |
the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abiah, | |
| 11 |
the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, | |
| 12 |
the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, | |
| 13 |
the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, | |
| 14 |
the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, | |
| 15 |
the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses, | |
| 16 |
the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel, | |
| 17 |
the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul, | |
| 18 |
the twenty-third to Delaiah, and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah. | |
| 19 |
This was their order of duty for the discharge of their service when they entered the house of the LORD, according to the rule prescribed for them by their ancestor Aaron, who had received his instructions from the LORD the God of Israel.
