1 Chronicles 24:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 And David distributed them, even Zadok of the [a]sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar according to their offices in their ministration.
4 And there were found more of the sons of Eleazar by the [b]number of men, than of the sons of Ithamar, and they divided them, to wit, among the sons of Eleazar, sixteen heads, according to the household of their fathers, and among the sons of Ithamar, according to the household of their fathers, eight.
5 Thus they distributed them by lot the one from the other, and so the rulers of the Sanctuary and the rulers of the house of God were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
