1 Chronicles 24:4-6

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴ And more men were found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar, so they divided them. Among the sons of Eleazar were sixteen heads, according to the household of their fathers. And eight were among the sons of Ithamar, according to the household of their fathers.

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.

⁶ And Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel, the scribe of the Levites, wrote them down before the king and the princes and Zadok the Priest and Ahimelech (the son of Abiathar) and the chief fathers of the priests and of the Levites, one family being reserved for Eleazar and another reserved for Ithamar.
