3 And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Ele-a´zar, and Ahim´elech of the sons of Ith´amar, according to their offices in their service.
4 And there were more chief men found of the sons of Ele-a´zar than of the sons of Ith´amar; and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Ele-a´zar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ith´amar according to the house of their fathers.
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 Ele-a´zar, and of the sons of Ith´amar.
6 And Shemai´ah the son of Nethan´e-el the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahim´elech the son of Abi´athar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Ele-a´zar, and one taken for Ith´amar.
7 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoi´arib, the second to Jedai´ah,
8 the third to Harim, the fourth to Se-o´rim,
9 the fifth to Malchi´jah, the sixth to Mij´amin,
