They assigned the leaders by lot, treating both families alike, for there were officials of the sanctuary and officials of God among both the Eleazar and Ithamar families. Now the divisions of the descendants of Aaron were these: the sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron,.... Into the classes or courses following:

the sons of Aaron; Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar; 1 Chronicles 6:3, these were the immediate sons of Aaron; but the division or distribution of them into classes are of their posterity in the times of David, who descended from the two latter.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXIV

David divides the families of Eleazar and Ithamar, by lot,

into twenty-four courses, 1-19.

How the rest of the sons of Levi were disposed of, 20-31.
