1 CHRONICLES 24:2 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest’s office.”
The narrative specifies that Nadab and Abihu died without producing sons, establishing that the priestly succession would continue through Eleazar and Ithamar. The note about Nadab and Abihu's early death adds theological weight to the narrative, as their deaths were understood in biblical tradition to be a consequence of ritual impropriety.
