1 Chronicles 24

The twenty-four divisions of the priests (continued)

וְלִבְנֵי אַֽהֲרֹן מַחְלְקוֹתָם בְּנֵי אַֽהֲרֹן נָדָב וַֽאֲבִיהוּא אֶלְעָזָר וְאִֽיתָמָֽר׃
1
Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
וַיָּמָת נָדָב וַֽאֲבִיהוּא לִפְנֵי אֲבִיהֶם וּבָנִים לֹֽא-הָיוּ לָהֶם וַֽיְכַהֲנוּ אֶלְעָזָר וְאִֽיתָמָֽר׃
2
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
וַיֶּֽחָלְקֵם דָּוִיד וְצָדוֹק מִן-בְּנֵי אֶלְעָזָר וַֽאֲחִימֶלֶךְ מִן-בְּנֵי אִֽיתָמָר לִפְקֻדָּתָם בַּעֲבֹֽדָתָֽם׃
3
And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.
וַיִּמָּֽצְאוּ בְֽנֵי-אֶלְעָזָר רַבִּים לְרָאשֵׁי הַגְּבָרִים מִן-בְּנֵי אִֽיתָמָר וַֽיַּחְלְקוּם לִבְנֵי אֶלְעָזָר רָאשִׁים לְבֵית-אָבוֹת שִׁשָּׁה עָשָׂר וְלִבְנֵי אִֽיתָמָר לְבֵית אֲבוֹתָם שְׁמוֹנָֽה׃
4
And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.
וַיַּחְלְקוּם בְּגֽוֹרָלוֹת אֵלֶּה עִם-אֵלֶּה כִּֽי-הָיוּ שָֽׂרֵי-קֹדֶשׁ וְשָׂרֵי הָֽאֱלֹהִים מִבְּנֵי אֶלְעָזָר וּבִבְנֵי אִֽיתָמָֽר׃
5
Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
וַֽיִּכְתְּבֵם שְֽׁמַעְיָה בֶן-נְתַנְאֵל הַסּוֹפֵר מִן-הַלֵּוִי לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וְהַשָּׂרִים וְצָדוֹק הַכֹּהֵן וַֽאֲחִימֶלֶךְ בֶּן-אֶבְיָתָר וְרָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְלַלְוִיִּם בֵּֽית-אָב אֶחָד אָחֻז לְאֶלְעָזָר וְאָחֻז׀ אָחֻז לְאִֽיתָמָֽר׃
6
And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.
וַיֵּצֵא הַגּוֹרָל הָֽרִאשׁוֹן לִיהוֹיָרִיב לִֽידַעְיָה הַשֵּׁנִֽי׃
7
Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,

17
The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul,
לִדְלָיָהוּ שְׁלֹשָׁה וְעֶשְׂרִים לְמַֽעַזְיָהוּ אַרְבָּעָה וְעֶשְׂרִֽים׃
18
The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.
אֵלֶּה פְקֻדָּתָם לַעֲבֹֽדָתָם לָבוֹא לְבֵית-יְהוָה כְּמִשְׁפָּטָם בְּיַד אַֽהֲרֹן אֲבִיהֶם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר צִוָּהוּ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
19
These were the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.

The remaining Levite families and their lots
