1 Chronicles 24:1-4

Revised Geneva Translation

24 Also, these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron were Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

² But Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no children. Therefore, Eleazar and Ithamar executed the Priest’s office.

³ And David distributed them, Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their ministration.

⁴ And more men were found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar, so they divided them. Among the sons of Eleazar were sixteen heads, according to the household of their fathers. And eight were among the sons of Ithamar, according to the household of their fathers.
