Contextual Overview
1 These were the family groups of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 2 Nadab and Abihu died before their father died. They had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar became the religious leaders. 3 With the help of Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, David divided them by their given duties. 4 More leaders were found from the sons of Eleazar than the sons of Ithamar. So they were divided in this way. There were sixteen heads of families of the sons of Eleazar. And there were eight heads of families of the sons of Ithamar. 5 They were divided by drawing names, all alike. For there were leaders of the holy place and leaders of God, from both the sons of Eleazar and Ithamar. 6 The writer Shemaiah, the Levite son of Nethanel, wrote down their names. He wrote them in front of the king, the princes, Zadok the religious leader, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the families of the religious leaders and of the Levites. One family was taken for Eleazar, and one for Ithamar. 7 The first name drawn was Jehoiarib, the second Jedaiah, 8 the third Harim, the fourth Seorim, 9 the fifth Malchijah, the sixth Mijamin. 10 The seventh name was Hakkoz, the eighth Abijah,

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office. — These two served the office during the life of their father Aaron; after his death Eleazar succeeded in the high priesthood. And under Eli the high priest, the family of Ithamar re-entered into that office.
