1 Krönikeboken 24
1 Men Aarons barnas ordning var denna: Aarons barn voro Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar och Ithamar.
These are the groups of the descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest]: Aaron’s four sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Men Nadab och Abihu blefvo döde inför deras fader, och hade inga barn; och Eleazar och Ithamar vordo Prester.
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father died, and they had no children. So their [younger] brothers Eleazar and Ithamar became the priests.
3 Och David skickade dem alltså, Zadok af Eleazars barn, och Ahimelech af Ithamars barn, efter deras tal och ämbete.
Zadok, who was a descendant of Eleazar, and Ahimelech, who was a descendant of Ithamar, helped David to separate his descendants into two groups. Each group had certain duties.
4 Och vordo Eleazars barn flere funne till yppersta starka män än Ithamars barn. Och han skickade dem alltså; nämliga sexton utaf Eleazars barn, till öfverstar ibland deras fäders hus; och åtta af Ithamars barn ibland deras fäders hus.
There were more leaders among the descendants of Eleazar than there were among the descendants of Ithamar. So they appointed 16 leaders from Eleazar’s descendants and eight leaders from Ithamar’s descendants.
5 Och han skifte dem efter lott, derföre, att både af Eleazars och Ithamars barn voro öfverstar i helgedomenom, och öfverstar för Gud.
There were temple officials and priests, including descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar, to make sure that the work was divided fairly. So they decided what work each person would do by (casting lots/throwing marked stones).
6 Och skrifvaren Semaja, Nethaneels son, utaf Leviterna, beskref dem för Konungenom, och för öfverstarna, och för Zadok Prestenom, och för Ahimelech, AbJathars son, och för öfversta fäderna ibland Presterna och Leviterna; nämliga ett fadershus för Eleazar, och det andra för Ithamar.
Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel, who was a descendant of Levi, wrote down the names [of the leaders of each group] while David and his officials were watching. Zadok, the [Supreme] Priest, and Ahimelech [his assistant], and the leaders of the families of the priests and of the families of the other descendants of Levi also watched.

The jobs they would do were decided by (casting lots/throwing marked stones), like their fellow Israelis, the descendants of Aaron, did. They cast lots {The lots were cast} while King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the leaders of the families of the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi watched. They gave the same jobs to the families of each oldest brother and each youngest brother.
