Who this is

Ithamar was Aaron's fourth and youngest son, and after his two eldest brothers died for offering unauthorized fire and his other brother Eleazar became high priest, Ithamar oversaw the Levites responsible for transporting and maintaining the tabernacle. His descendants held the high priesthood for a period, including Eli, before it returned to Eleazar's line under Zadok.
