With the help of Zadok a descendant of Eleazar and Ahimelek a descendant of Ithamar, David separated them into divisions for their appointed order of ministering.
A larger number of leaders were found among Eleazar’s descendants than among Ithamar’s, and they were divided accordingly: sixteen heads of families from Eleazar’s descendants and eight heads of families from Ithamar’s descendants.
Среди потомков Элеазара оказалось больше глав семейств, чем среди потомков Итамара, и потому они были соответственно разделены: шестнадцать глав семейств из потомков Элеазара и восемь глав семейств из потомков Итамара.
They divided them impartially by casting lots, for there were officials of the sanctuary and officials of God among the descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar.
The scribe Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded their names in the presence of the king and of the officials: Zadok the priest, Ahimelek son of Abiathar and the heads of families of the priests and of the Levites — one family being taken from Eleazar and then one from Ithamar.
Писарь Шемая, сын Нафанаила, левит, записал их имена в присутствии царя, вождей народа, священника Цадока, Ахимелеха, сына Авиатара, и глав священнических и левитских семейств — одну семью брали из потомков Элеазара, а другую — из потомков Итамара.
This was their appointed order of ministering when they entered the temple of the Lord, according to the regulations prescribed for them by their ancestor Aaron, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded him.
Таков был установленный порядок их служения, когда они входили в дом Господа по установлениям, которые оставил им их праотец Аарон, как повелел ему Господь, Бог Израиля.
They also cast lots, just as their relatives the descendants of Aaron did, in the presence of King David and of Zadok, Ahimelek, and the heads of families of the priests and of the Levites. The families of the oldest brother were treated the same as those of the youngest.
Они тоже бросали жребий, как и их братья, потомки Аарона, в присутствии царя Давида, Цадока, Ахимелеха и глав священнических и левитских семейств. Семьи старших братьев были уравнены в правах с семьями младших.
