A Priest of Abijah, Daughter of Aaron
Excerpt
The eighth of the twenty-four orders of courses into which David divided the priests (see 1 Ch. 24:1,1 Ch. 24:4,1 Ch. 24:10). Of these courses only four returned after the captivity (Ezr. 2:34–39), which were again subdivided into twenty-four—retaining the ancient name and order of each. They took the whole temple service for a week each.
