1 Chronicles 24:3-5

Christian Standard Bible

³ Together with Zadok^(A) from the descendants of Eleazar and Ahimelech from the descendants of Ithamar, David divided them according to the assigned duties of their service. ⁴ Since more leaders were found among Eleazar’s descendants than Ithamar’s, they were divided accordingly: sixteen heads of ancestral families^[a] were from Eleazar’s descendants, and eight heads of ancestral families were from Ithamar’s. ⁵ They^(B) were assigned by lot, for there were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God among both Eleazar’s and Ithamar’s descendants.
