The fourth son of Aaron, consecrated to the priesthood, Ex 6:23; Nu 3:2-3. His posterity took charge of the tabernacle in the wilderness, Ex 38:21; Nu 4:28. Some of this line, namely, Eli, Ahitub, Ahiah, Ahimelech, and Abiathar, held the office of high priest, but under Solomon it reverted to the family of Eleazar, 1Ki 2:7. See ABIATHAR.

Easton
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.)

Moses said to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar: Do not leave your hair uncombed or tear your clothes to show that you are in mourning. If you do you will die. For Jehovah will be angry with the whole community. But all other Israelites are allowed to mourn this death caused by the fire Jehovah sent.
Moses spoke to Aaron and his two remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar. He said: Take the grain offering that is left over from the food offered to Jehovah. Bake unleavened bread with it and eat it beside the altar. This is because this offering is very holy.
Nadab and Abihu died in Jehovah's presence because they offered unauthorized fire in his presence in the Desert of Sinai. They had no children. So only Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests during the lifetime of their father Aaron.

The children of Amram: Aaron, Moses and Miriam. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
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.)

The days are coming when I will cut off your arm (reduce your strength) and the arm of your father's house. No old man shall be in your house! You will see the enemy in my house even though God does good for Israel. There will not be an old man in your house forever. read more. Yet I will keep one of your descendants alive. He will serve me as priest. But he will become blind and lose all hope. All your other descendants will die in the prime of life. Your two sons Hophni and Phinehas will both die on the same day.

I will give him descendants, who will always serve in the presence of my anointed ones forever.
On that day I am going to do to Eli and his family everything I said from beginning to end.
