1 Chronicles 24:3-5

International Standard Version

³ Along with Zadok, one of Eleazar’s descendants, and Ahimelech, one of Ithamar’s descendants, David organized their service according to their assigned responsibilities.

⁴ More leaders were located among Eleazar’s descendants than among those of Ithamar, so sixteen leaders were appointed from the leaders of the ancestral households of Eleazar’s descendants and eight from those of Ithamar. ⁵ They were chosen by impartial lottery, since there were trustees^[a] of the sanctuary and officers of God among both Eleazar’s descendants and among Ithamar’s descendants.
