1
Now when David
reached old
age,
he made
his son
Solomon
king
over
Israel.
2
And he gathered
together all
the leaders
of Israel
with the priests
and the Levites.
3
The Levites
were numbered
from thirty
years
old
and upward,
and their number
by census
of men
was 38,000.
4
Of these,
24,000
were to oversee
the work
of the house
of the LORD;
and 6,000
were officers
and judges,
5
and 4,000
were gatekeepers,
and 4,000
were praising
the LORD
with the instruments
which
David made
for giving praise.
6
David
divided
them into divisions
according to the sons
of Levi:
Gershon,
Kohath,
and Merari.
7
Of the Gershonites
were Ladan
and Shimei.
8
The sons
of Ladan
were Jehiel
the first
and Zetham
and Joel,
three.
9
The sons
of Shimei
were Shelomoth
and Haziel
and Haran,
three.
These
were the heads
of the fathers'
households of Ladan.
10
The sons
of Shimei
were Jahath,
Zina,
Jeush
and Beriah.
These
four
were the sons
of Shimei
.
11
Jahath
was the first
and Zizah
the second;
but Jeush
and Beriah
did not have many
sons,
so they became
a father's
household,
one
class.
12
The sons
of Kohath
were four:
Amram,
Izhar,
Hebron
and Uzziel.
13
The sons
of Amram
were Aaron
and Moses.
And Aaron
was set apart
to sanctify
him as most
holy,
he and his sons
forever,
to burn incense
before
the LORD,
to minister
to Him and to bless
in His name
forever.
14
But as for Moses
the man
of God,
his sons
were named
among
the tribe
of Levi.
15
The sons
of Moses
were Gershom
and Eliezer.
16
The son
of Gershom
was Shebuel
the chief.
17
The son
of Eliezer
was Rehabiah
the chief;
and Eliezer
had
no
other
sons,
but the sons
of Rehabiah
were very
many.
18
The son
of Izhar
was Shelomith
the chief.
19
The sons
of Hebron
were Jeriah
the first,
Amariah
the second,
Jahaziel
the third
and Jekameam
the fourth.
20
The sons
of Uzziel
were Micah
the first
and Isshiah
the second.
21
The sons
of Merari
were Mahli
and Mushi.
The sons
of Mahli
were Eleazar
and Kish.
22
Eleazar
died
and had
no
sons,
but daughters
only,
so their brothers,
the sons
of Kish,
took
them as wives.
23
The sons
of Mushi
were three:
Mahli,
Eder
and Jeremoth.
24
These
were the sons
of Levi
according to their fathers'
househ
old
s,
even the heads
of the fathers'
househ
old
s of those of them who were counted,
in the number
of names
by their census,
doing
the work
for the service
of the house
of the LORD,
from twenty
years
old
and upward.
25
For David
said,
"The LORD
God
of Israel
has given rest
to His people,
and He dwells
in Jerusalem
forever.
26
"Also,
the Levites
will no
longer need to carry
the tabernacle
and all
its utensils
for its service."
27
For by the last
words
of David
the sons
of Levi
were numbered
from twenty
years
old
and upward.
28
For their office
is to assist
the sons
of Aaron
with the service
of the house
of the LORD,
in the courts
and in the chambers
and in the purifying
of all
holy things,
even the work
of the service
of the house
of God,
29
and with the showbread,
and the fine flour
for a grain offering,
and unleavened
wafers,
or what is baked in the pan
or what is well-mixed,
and all
measures
of volume
and size.
30
They are to stand
every
morning
to thank
and to praise
the LORD,
and likewise
at evening,
31
and to offer
all
burnt offerings
to the LORD,
on the sabbaths,
the new moons
and the fixed festivals
in the number
set by the ordinance
concerning
them, continu
all
y
before
the LORD.
32
Thus they are to keep
charge
of the tent
of meeting,
and
charge
of the holy
place,
and
charge
of the sons
of Aaron
their relatives,
for the service
of the house
of the LORD.
