1 Chronicles 24:3-5

Lexham English Bible

³ And David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their appointments for their service. ⁴ And more sons of Eleazar were found as heads of the men than the sons of Ithamar, so they divided them to the sons of Eleazar to be sixteen heads over the house of the fathers, and to the sons of Ithamar over the house of the fathers were eight heads. ⁵ They divided them by lot all alike,^[a] for they were commanders of the sanctuary and commanders of God from among the sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar.
