                                    1 Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.                                

                                    1 Now the divisions of the (a)descendants of Aaron were these: (A)the sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.                                

                                    1 The divisions of the descendants of Aaron were as follows: Aaron’s sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.(A)                                 

                                    1 With respect to the descendants of Aaron, classes of service were organized for Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, the descendants of Aaron.                                 

                                    1 The divisions of the (a)descendants of Aaron were these: the sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

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

                                    2 (B)But Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no (b)sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.                                

                                    2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and they had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.(B)                                 

                                    2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, leaving no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar became priests.                                 

                                    2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no sons; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.

                                    3 And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.                                

                                    3 David, with (C)Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their offices (c)for their ministry.                                

                                    3 Together with Zadok(C) from the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech from the sons of Ithamar, David divided them according to the assigned duties of their service.                                 

                                    3 Along with Zadok, one of Eleazar's descendants, and Ahimelech, one of Ithamar's descendants, David organized their service according to their assigned responsibilities.                                

                                    3 David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their offices for their assigned duties.

                                    4 And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.                                

                                    4 Since more chief men were found from the (d)descendants of Eleazar than the (e)descendants of Ithamar, they divided them thus: there were sixteen heads of fathers’ households of the (f)descendants of Eleazar and eight of the (g)descendants of Ithamar, according to their fathers’ households.                                

                                    4 Since more leaders were found among Eleazar’s descendants than Ithamar’s, they were divided accordingly: 16 heads of ancestral houses were from Eleazar’s descendants, and eight heads of ancestral houses were from Ithamar’s.                                 

                                    4 More leaders were located among Eleazar's descendants than among those of Ithamar, so sixteen leaders were appointed from the leaders of the ancestral households of Eleazar's descendants and eight from those of Ithamar.                                 

                                    4 Since there were more chief men found among the descendants of Eleazar than among the descendants of Ithamar [because of Eli’s misfortunes, and Saul’s massacre of the priests at Nob], they were divided in this way: sixteen heads of fathers’ households of the descendants of Eleazar and eight of the descendants of Ithamar, corresponding to their fathers’ households.

                                    5 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.                                

                                    5 (D)Thus they were divided by lot, the one as the other; for they were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God, both from the (h)descendants of Eleazar and the (i)descendants of Ithamar.                                

                                    5 They(D) were assigned by lot, for there were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God among both Eleazar’s and Ithamar’s descendants.                                 

                                    5 They were chosen by impartial lottery, since there were trustees of the sanctuary and officers of God among both Eleazar's descendants and among Ithamar's descendants.                                 

                                    5 So they were divided by lot, one group with the other; for they were officers of the sanctuary and officers (high priests) of God, both from the descendants of Eleazar and from the descendants of Ithamar.

One ancestral house was taken for Eleazar, and then one for Ithamar.                                

                                    6 Nethanel's son Shemaiah, a Levitical scribe, made an official record of them for the king, the officers, Zadok the priest, Abiathar's son Ahimelech, and the heads of ancestral households of both the priests and the descendants of Levi. One ancestral house was chosen for Eleazar and one for Ithamar.                                

                                    6 Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel the scribe, from the Levites, recorded them in the presence of the king, the officers, Zadok the priest, (b)Ahimelech the son of Abiathar [the priest who escaped Saul’s massacre at Nob], and the heads of the fathers’ households of the priests and of the Levites; one father’s household taken for Eleazar and one taken for Ithamar.
