Context Readings

David Organizes The Priests

2 Nadab and Abihu died before their father died, and neither had any children. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests. 3 David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their offices for their ministry. 4 Since Eleazar's descendants had more men who were family heads than Ithamar's descendants, they were divided so that Eleazar's descendants had sixteen family leaders and Ithamar's descendants had eight family leaders.
