圣经These are the divisions of the descendants of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Nadab and Abihu died before their father, leaving no sons behind. Therefore, Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.
Zadok, the son of Eleazar, and Ahimelech, the son of Ithamar, along with David, divided their brothers into divisions.
Among the children of Eleazar, there were more leaders than among the children of Ithamar. The divisions were as follows: among the children of Eleazar, there were sixteen chiefs, and among the children of Ithamar, there were eight chiefs.
They are all divided by drawing lots and are the same as each other. The sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar served as leaders in the sanctuary and before God.
Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel the Levite, who served as the secretary, recorded their names before the king and the leaders, along with Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the Levite priests. Take one tribe from the descendants of Eleazar and one tribe from the descendants of Ithamar.

The third is Harlem, and the fourth is Thorin,
The fifth is Machiah, and the sixth is the people of Miah,
The seventh is Hagos, the eighth is Abijah,
