🕊️ 1 Chronicles 24

1 Chronicles 24 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “These were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel,” 1 Chronicles 24 opens with these words: “These were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.” The line to keep is 1 Chronicles 24:2: “But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest’s office.” Carry the word “nadab” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is 1 Chronicles 24:2: “But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest’s office.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in 1 Chronicles 24? Then try this: Read “But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
