1 Chronicles 24:3Hebrew Names version (HNV)David with Tzadok of the sons of El`azar, and Achimelekh of the sons of Itamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service. See the chapter |
Shemayah the son of Netan'el 1 the scribe, who was of the Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king, and the princes, and Tzadok the Kohen, and Achimelekh the son of Avyatar, and the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the Kohanim and of the Levites; one fathers' house being taken for El`azar, and one taken for Itamar.
He appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the Kohanim to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise, and to minister before the Kohanim, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their divisions at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.
