1 Chronicles 24:31

These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren.

These likewise cast {H5307} lots {H1486} over against {H5980} their brethren {H251} the sons {H1121} of Aaron {H175} in the presence {H6440} of David {H1732} the king {H4428}, and Zadok {H6659}, and Ahimelech {H288}, and the chief {H7218} of the fathers {H1} of the priests {H3548} and Levites {H3881}, even the principal {H7218} fathers {H1} over against {H5980} their younger {H6996} brethren {H251}.

These likewise cast lots, as had their kinsmen the descendants of Aharon, in the presence of David the king, Tzadok, Achimelekh, and the clan leaders of the cohanim and of the L'vi'im; with the senior and junior clans casting lots equally.

As their brothers the descendants of Aaron did, they also cast lots in the presence of King David and of Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the families of the priests and Levites—the family heads and their younger brothers alike.

These likewise cast lots even as their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and of the Levites; the fathers’ houses of the chief even as those of his younger brother.
