1. And the courses[H4256] of the sons[H1121] of Aaron[H175] were these[H1121]. The sons of Aaron[H175]: Nadab[H5070] and Abihu[H30], Eleazar[H499] and Ithamar[H385].
2. But Nadab[H5070] and Abihu[H30] died[H4191] before[H6440] their father[H1], and had no children[H1121]: therefore Eleazar[H499] and Ithamar[H385] executed the priest[H3547]'s office.
3. And David[H1732] with Zadok[H6659] of the sons[H1121] of Eleazar[H499], and Ahimelech[H288] of the sons[H1121] of Ithamar[H385], divided[H2505] them according to their ordering[H6486] in their service[H5656].
