1 Chronicles 24:2-4

Common English Bible

² Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, without having sons, and so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests. ³ David, with the help of Zadok from Eleazar’s family and Ahimelech from Ithamar’s family, divided them according to their appointed duties. ⁴ Since Eleazar’s family was found to have more male heads than Ithamar’s family, they divided them so that Eleazar’s family had sixteen household heads and Ithamar’s family had eight.
