WEB

Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

WEB

He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.

WEB

The Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.

WEB

David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the LORD’s house, six thousand were officers and judges,

WEB

four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made for giving praise.”

WEB

David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

WEB

Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.

WEB

The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, Zetham, and Joel, three.

WEB

The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.

WEB

The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

WEB

Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah didn’t have many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in one reckoning.

WEB

The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

WEB

The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to him, and to bless in his name forever.

WEB

But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.

WEB

The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.

WEB

The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.

WEB

The son of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

WEB

The son of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.

WEB

The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

WEB

The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.

WEB

The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.

WEB

Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only; and their relatives, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.

WEB

The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth, three.

WEB

These were the sons of Levi after their fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’ houses of those who were counted individually, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the LORD’s house, from twenty years old and upward.

WEB

For David said, “The LORD, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.

WEB

Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.”

WEB

For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were counted, from twenty years old and upward.

WEB

For their duty was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the LORD’s house—in the courts, in the rooms, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of God’s house;

WEB

for the show bread also, and for the fine flour for a meal offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all measurements of quantity and size;

WEB

and to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise in the evening;

WEB

and to offer all burnt offerings to the LORD on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before the LORD;

WEB

and that they should keep the duty of the Tent of Meeting, the duty of the holy place, and the duty of the sons of Aaron their brothers for the service of the LORD’s house.
