Aaronites
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This entry incorporates text from the public domain Easton's Bible Dictionary, originally published in 1897. Aaronites - the descendants of Aaron, and therefore priests. Jehoiada, the father of Benaiah, led 3,700 Aaronites as "fighting men" to the support of David at Hebron (1 Chr. 12:27). Eleazar (Num. 3:32), and at a later period Zadok (1 Chr. 27:17), was their chief.
The term can also mean Levite.
