1 Now the divisions of the descendants of Aaron were these: athe sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

2 aBut Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.

3 David, with aZadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their offices for their ministry.
