1 Chronicles 24:4 in Context — 1 Chronicles 24

2 Nadab et Abihu moururent avant leur père, sans avoir de fils; et Éléazar et Ithamar remplirent les fonctions du sacerdoce.

3 David divisa les fils d’Aaron en les classant pour le service qu’ils avaient à faire; Tsadok appartenait aux descendants d’Éléazar, et Achimélec aux descendants d’Ithamar.

4 Il se trouva parmi les fils d’Éléazar plus de chefs que parmi les fils d’Ithamar, et on en fit la division; les fils d’Éléazar avaient seize chefs de maisons paternelles, et les fils d’Ithamar huit chefs de maisons paternelles.

5 On les classa par le sort, les uns avec les autres, car les chefs du sanctuaire et les chefs de Dieu étaient des fils d’Éléazar et des fils d’Ithamar.

6 Schemaeja, fils de Nethaneel, le secrétaire, de la tribu de Lévi, les inscrivit devant le roi et les princes, devant Tsadok, le sacrificateur, et Achimélec, fils d’Abiathar, et devant les chefs des maisons paternelles des sacrificateurs et des Lévites. On tira au sort une maison paternelle pour Éléazar, et on en tira une autre pour Ithamar.
