1 Chronicles 24:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did. And they had no sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as the priests. ³ David separated the family groups of Eleazar and Ithamar into two different groups. Each group had certain duties it had been given. Zadok and Ahimelech helped David. Zadok was a descendant of Eleazar. And Ahimelech was a descendant of Ithamar. ⁴ There were more leaders from Eleazar’s family than from Ithamar’s. There were 16 leaders from Eleazar’s family. And there were 8 leaders from Ithamar’s family.
