Shemaiah wrote the names of those descendants. {\cf2\super [264]} He wrote those names in front of King David and these leaders: Zadok the priest, Ahimelech, and the leaders from the families of the priests and of the Levites. Ahimelech was Abiathar’s son. Each time they threw the lots {\cf2\super [265]} a man was chosen, and Shemaiah wrote down that man’s name. So they divided the work among the men from families of Eleazar and Ithamar.
