palm isle, the fourth and youngest son of Aaron (1Ch 6:3). He was consecrated to the priesthood along with his brothers (Ex 6:23); and after the death of Nadab and Abihu, he and Eleazar alone discharged the functions of that office (Le 10:6,12; Nu 3:4). He and his family occupied the position of common priest till the high priesthood passed into his family in the person of Eli (1Ki 2:27), the reasons for which are not recorded. (See Zadok.)

Fausets
Aaron's youngest son (Ex 6:23). With Eleazar the elder he succeeded to the priestly offices vacated by the death of Nadab and Abihu, which he and Eleazar were forbidden to mourn (Ex 28:1,40,43; Le 10:1-2,6-7; Nu 3:3-4; 1Ch 24:2). Ithamar superintended the Gershonites who had charge of the curtains and hangings, and Merari who had charge of the pillars, Cords, and boards, on the march (Ex 38:21; Nu 4:21-33). Eleazar's family and chief men were more numerous than those of Ithamar. The high priesthood in Eli's person (probably on account of the high qualities for which he was made judge) passed to the line of Ithamar, but reverted to Eleazar's line in Zadok, because of Abiathar's share in Adonijah's rebellion; thus the prophecy against Eli was fulfilled (1Sa 2:31-35; 3:12-14; 1Ki 2:26-27,35). (See ABIATHAR; ELI.)
