1 Chronicles 24
1 These were the divisions of the descendants of Aaron. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
And [these are] their divisions, of the sons of Aaron. [The] sons of Aaron [are] Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, and they had no sons; so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.
And Nadab dies—and Abihu—in the presence of their father, and they had no sons, and Eleazar and Ithamar act as priests.
3 With the help of Eleazar’s descendant Zadok and Ithamar’s descendant Ahimelech, David divided them according to the offices of their service.
And David distributes them—and Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar—according to their office in their service;
4 Since more leaders were found among Eleazar’s descendants than those of Ithamar, they were divided accordingly. There were sixteen heads of families from the descendants of Eleazar and eight from the descendants of Ithamar.
and there are found of the sons of Eleazar more for heads of the mighty men than of the sons of Ithamar; and they distribute them. Of the sons of Eleazar, heads for [each] house of [their] fathers—sixteen; and of the sons of Ithamar, for [each] house of their fathers—eight.
5 Thus they were divided by lot, for there were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God among both Eleazar’s and Ithamar’s descendants.
And they distribute them by lots, with one another, for they have been princes of the holy place and princes of God, from the sons of Eleazar and from the sons of Ithamar.
6 The scribe, Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded their names in the presence of the king and of the officers: Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the heads of families of the priests and the Levites—one family being taken from Eleazar, and then one from Ithamar.
And Shemaiah son of Nethaneel the scribe, of the Levites, writes them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and heads of the fathers for priests and for Levites, one house of a father being taken possession of for Eleazar and one being taken possession of for Ithamar.
7 The first lot fell to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
And the first lot goes out for Jehoiarib, for Jedaiah the second,

for Malchijah the fifth, for Mijamin the sixth,
10 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
for Hakkoz the seventh, for Abijah the eighth,
11 the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,
for Jeshuah the ninth, for Shecaniah the tenth,
12 the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
for Eliashib the eleventh, for Jakim the twelfth,
13 the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,
for Huppah the thirteenth, for Jeshebeab the fourteenth,
14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
for Bilgah the fifteenth, for Immer the sixteenth,
15 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez,
for Hezir the seventeenth, for Aphses the eighteenth,
16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel,
for Pethahiah the nineteenth, for Jehezekel the twentieth,
17 the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul,
for Jachin the twenty-first, for Gamul the twenty-second,
18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
for Delaiah the twenty-third, for Maaziah the twenty-fourth.
19 This was their appointed order for service when they entered the house of the LORD, according to the regulations prescribed for them by their forefather Aaron, as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded him.
These [are] their appointments for their service, to come into the house of YHWH, according to their ordinance by the hand of their father Aaron, as YHWH God of Israel commanded them.

31 As their brothers the descendants of Aaron did, they also cast lots in the presence of King David and of Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the families of the priests and Levites—the family heads and their younger brothers alike.
and they also cast lots just as their brothers, the sons of Aaron, before David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and heads of the fathers for priests and for Levites; the chief father just as his younger brother.
