1 Chronicles 24:1-19

Thomson(i) 1 Now with regard to the sons of Aaron in the line of Nadab and of Abiud, and of Eleazar and of Ithamar. 2 As Nadab and Abiud died in the presence of their father and had no sons; and . Eleazar and Ithamar had officiated as priests; 3 David classed Sadok at the head of the sons of Eleazar, and Achimelech at the head of the sons of Ithamar, according to the review of them according to their service, according to the houses of their families. 4 And as the Eleazarites were found to be more numerous for chiefs of mighty men than the sons of Ithamar, therefore he distributed them; for the sons of Eleazar sixteen chiefs for houses of families, and for the sons of Ithamar chiefs for eight houses of families. 5 These he distributed by lot, one with the other. Because there were chiefs of the holies, and chiefs of the Lord, among the sons of Eleazar and among the sons of Ithamar, 6 therefore in the presence of the king and the chiefs, Samaias son of Nathaniel, the muster master of the Levites, wrote down Sadok the priest and Achimelech son of Abiathar, and the chiefs of the families of the priests and the Levites, a chief of a house of families alternately, one for Eleazar and one for Ithamar, 7 and the first lot came out for Joarim; the second for Jedia; 8 the third for Charib; the fourth for Seorim; 9 the fifth for Melchias; the sixth for Meiamin; 10 the seventh for Kos; the eighth for Abia; 11 the ninth for Jesus; the tenth for Sechenias; 12 the eleventh for Eliabi; the twelfth for Jakim; 13 the thirteenth for Oppha; the fourteenth for Jesbaal; 14 the fifteenth for Belga; the sixteenth for Emmer; 15 the seventeenth for Chesin; the eighteenth for Aphese; 16 the nineteenth for Phetaia; the twentieth for Ezekel; 17 the twenty first for Achim; the twenty second for Gamul; 18 the twenty third for Adallai; the twenty fourth for Maasai. 19 This was the review of them according to their service, to go into the house of the Lord according to the rule prescribed for them, under the inspection of Aaron their father, as the Lord God of Israel commanded Moses.
