1 Chronicles 24:3

Twenty-Four Divisions of Priests

2But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, and they had no sons; so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.3With the help of Eleazar’s descendant Zadok and Ithamar’s descendant Ahimelech, David divided them according to the offices of their service.4Since more leaders were found among Eleazar’s descendants than those of Ithamar, they were divided accordingly. There were sixteen heads of families from the descendants of Eleazar and eight from the descendants of Ithamar.
