Amram’s children: Aaron, Moses, and Miriam.
Aaron’s sons: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

Eleazar fathered Phinehas;
Phinehas fathered Abishua;

These are Aaron’s sons: his son Eleazar,
his son Phinehas, his son Abishua,

In earlier times Phinehas son of Eleazar had been their leader, and the Lord was with him.

After him, Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite was one of the three warriors.

But Eleazar and David took their stand in the middle of the field and defended it. They killed the Philistines, and the Lord gave them a great victory.

Merari’s sons: Mahli and Mushi.
Mahli’s sons: Eleazar and Kish.

Eleazar died having no sons, only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.

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

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

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

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.

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

The secretary, Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded them in the presence of the king and the officers, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the heads of families of the priests and the Levites. One ancestral house was taken for Eleazar, and then one for Ithamar.

From Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons.
