the teacher: Even among the twenty-four leaders, some were more expert than others; some were teachers, and others were scholars; but every one was taken by the solemn casting of lots, without any regard to these distinctions. Thus all things were disposed for the preserving of order, and avoiding all disputes about precedence. There being no respect had, in this divine distribution, to birth, but the younger in course preceded the elder. 1 Chronicles 15:22; 2 Chronicles 23:13
