1 Chronicles 24:4-6

Legacy Standard Bible

⁴ And more chief men were found from the ^[a]sons of Eleazar than the ^[b]sons of Ithamar, so they divided them thus: there were sixteen heads of fathers’ households of the ^[c]sons of Eleazar and eight of the ^[d]sons of Ithamar, according to their fathers’ households. ^5 (A)Thus they were divided by lot, the one as the other; for they were leaders for the sanctuary and leaders for God, both from the sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar. ⁶ Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel the scribe, from the Levites, wrote them down in the presence of the king, the princes, Zadok the priest, ^(B)Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the priests and of the Levites; one father’s household taken for Eleazar and one taken for Ithamar.
