Some careless bible versions are wrong to say Ira was a priest. No, Ira could not be a priest because he was not a Levite, but it says Abiathar was one of the priests. You weren't reading from the KJV because it will tell you that Ira was the "chief ruler about". That role was like today's Chief of Staff to the President of the USA, or an executive who is able to represent the ruler and give orders on his behalf
