1 Chronicles 24

1 Now, the sons of Aaron, had their courses, —the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar;

These are also the diuisions of the sonnes of Aaron: The sonnes of Aaron were Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

2 but Nadab and Abihu, died, before their father, and sons, had they none, —but Eleazar and Ithamar became priests;

But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the Priestes office.

3 and David apportioned to them courses, both to Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and to Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, —by their appointed place in their service.

And Dauid distributed them, euen Zadok of the sonnes of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sonnes of Ithamar according to their offices in their ministration.

4 But the sons of Eleazar were found to be more numerous, by the chiefs of their able men, than were the sons of Ithamar, so they divided them, —the sons of Eleazar, had chiefs, of the ancestral house, sixteen, whereas, the sons of Ithamar, had of their ancestral house, eight.

And there were found more of the sonnes of Eleazar by the number of men, then of the sonnes of Ithamar. and they deuided them, to wit, among the sonnes of Eleazar, sixteene heads, according to the houshould of their fathers, and among ye sonnes of Ithamar, according to the housholde of their fathers, eight.

5 They divided them, therefore, by [casting] lots, these with those, —for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, from among the sons of Eleazar, and among the sons of Ithamar.

Thus they distributed them by lot the one from the other, and so the rulers of the Sanctuarie and the rulers of the house of God were of the sonnes of Eleazar and of the sonnes of Ithamar.

6 And Shemaiah son of Nethanel the scribe from among the Levites, wrote them down, before the king and the rulers and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the ancestral chiefs, pertaining to the priests and to the Levites, —one ancestral house, was taken for Eleazar, and, was equally taken, for Ithamar.

And Shemaiah the sonne of Nethaneel the scribe of the Leuites, wrote them before ye King and the princes, and Zadok the Priest, and Ahimelech the sonne of Abiathar, and before ye chiefe fathers of the Priests and of the Leuites, one familie being reserued for Eleazar, and another reserued for Ithamar.

7 So then the first lot came forth for Jehoiarib, for Jedaiah, the second;

And the first lot fell to Iehoiarib, and the second to Iedaiah,

8 for Harim, the third, for Seorim, the fourth;

The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,

9 for Malchijah, the fifth, for Mijamin, the sixth;

The fifth to Malchiiah, the sixt to Miiamin,

10 for Hakkoz, the seventh, for Abijah, the eighth;

11 for Jeshua, the ninth, for Shecaniah, the tenth;

The ninth to Ieshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,

12 for Eliashib, the eleventh, for Jakim, the twelfth;

The eleuenth to Eliashib, the twelft to Iakim,

13 for Huppah, the thirteenth, for Jeshebeab, the fourteenth;

The thirteenth to Huppa, the fouretenth to Ieshebeab,

14 for Bilgah, the fifteenth, for Immer, the sixteenth;

The fiftenth to Bilgah, the sixtenth to Immer,

15 for Hezir, the seventeenth, for Happizzez, the eighteenth;

The seuententh to Hezir, the eightenth to Happizzer,

16 for Pethahiah, the nineteenth, for Jehezkel, the twentieth;

The ninetenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Iehezekel,

17 for Jachin, the twenty-first, for Gamul, the twenty-second;

The one and twentie to Iachin, the two and twentie to Gamul,

18 for Delaiah, the twenty-third, for Maaziah, the twenty-fourth.

The three and twentie to Deliah, the foure and twentie to Maaziah.

19 These, were their appointed places for their service, for entering the house of Yahweh, according to the regulation of them, by the hand of Aaron their father, —just as Yahweh God of Israel, commanded him.

These were their orders according to their offices, when they entred into the house of the Lord according to their custome vnder the hande of Aaron their father, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded him.

20 Now, as for the sons of Levi who remained, of the sons of Amram, Shubael, of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah.

And the sonnes of Mushi were Mahli, and Eder, and Ierimoth: these were sonnes of the Leuites after the houshold of their fathers.

31 Moreover, they also, cast lots along with their brethren the sons of Aaron, before David the king and Zadok and Ahimelech, and the ancestral chiefs, pertaining to the priests and to the Levites, the ancestral chief along with his younger brethren.

And these also cast lots with their brethren the sonnes of Aaron before King Dauid, and Zadok and Ahimelech and the chiefe fathers of the Priests, and of the Leuites, euen the chiefe of the families against their yonger brethren.
