## 📜 Scripture Text (NET)

## David Organizes the Priests
[[#Verse 01.]] The divisions of Aaron’s descendants were as follows: The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
[[#Verse 02.]] Nadab and Abihu died before their father did; they had no sons. Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.
[[#Verse 03.]] David, Zadok (a descendant of Eleazar), and Ahimelech (a descendant of Ithamar) divided them into groups to carry out their assigned responsibilities.
[[#Verse 04.]] The descendants of Eleazar had more leaders than the descendants of Ithamar, so they divided them up accordingly; the descendants of Eleazar had sixteen leaders, while the descendants of Ithamar had eight.
[[#Verse 05.]] They divided them by lots, for there were officials of the Holy Place and officials designated by God among the descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar.
[[#Verse 06.]] The scribe Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, wrote down their names before the king, the officials, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the leaders of the priestly and Levite families. One family was drawn by lot from Eleazar, and then the next from Ithamar.

[[#Verse 17.]] the twenty-first to Jakin, the twenty-second to Gamul,
[[#Verse 18.]] the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
[[#Verse 19.]] This was the order in which they carried out their assigned responsibilities when they entered the Lord’s temple, according to the regulations given them by their ancestor Aaron, just as the Lord God of Israel had instructed him.
## Remaining Levites
