24:1 ¶ Now [these are] the divisions {4256} of the sons {1121} of Aaron. {175} The sons {1121} of Aaron; {175} Nadab, {5070} and Abihu, {30} Eleazar, {499} and Ithamar. {385}

24:2 But Nadab {5070} and Abihu {30} died {4191} <8799> before {6440} their father, {1} and had (1961) no (3808) children: {1121} therefore Eleazar {499} and Ithamar {385} executed the priest's office. {3547} <8762>

24:3 And David {1732} distributed {2505} <8735> them, both Zadok {6659} of (4480) the sons {1121} of Eleazar, {499} and Ahimelech {288} of (4480) the sons {1121} of Ithamar, {385} according to their offices {6486} in their service. {5656}

24:4 And there were more {7227} chief {7218} men {1397} found {4672} <8735> of the sons {1121} of Eleazar {499} than (4480) of the sons {1121} of Ithamar; {385} and [thus] were they divided. {2505} <8799> Among the sons {1121} of Eleazar {499} [there were] sixteen {8337} {6240} chief men {7218} of the house {1004} of [their] fathers, {1} and eight {8083} among the sons {1121} of Ithamar {385} according to the house {1004} of their fathers. {1}

24:5 Thus were they divided {2505} <8799> by lot, {1486} one sort {428} with (5973) another; {428} for (3588) the governors {8269} of the sanctuary, {6944} and governors {8269} [of the house] of God, {430} were (1961) of the sons {1121} (4480) of Eleazar, {499} and of the sons {1121} of Ithamar. {385}

24:6 And Shemaiah {8098} the son {1121} of Nethaneel {5417} the scribe, {5608} <8802> [one] of (4480) the Levites, [3881] (3878) wrote {3789} <8799> them before {6440} the king, {4428} and the princes, {8269} and Zadok {6659} the priest, {3548} and Ahimelech {288} the son {1121} of Abiathar, {54} and [before] the chief {7218} of the fathers {1} of the priests {3548} and Levites: {3881} one {259} principal {1} household {1004} being taken {270} <8803> for Eleazar, {499} and [one] taken {270} <8803> for Ithamar. {385}
