 | 023:001 So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel. |
| 023:002 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites. |
| 023:003 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand. |
| 023:004 Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges: |
| 023:005 Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith. |
| 023:006 And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. |
| 023:007 Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei. |
| 023:008 The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three. |
| 023:009 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan. |
| 023:010 And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. |
| 023:011 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father's house. |
| 023:012 The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four. |
| 023:013 The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever. |
| 023:014 Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi. |
| 023:015 The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer. |
| 023:016 Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief. |
| 023:017 And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many. |
| 023:018 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief. |
| 023:019 Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. |
| 023:020 Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first and Jesiah the second. |
| 023:021 The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish. |
| 023:022 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them. |
| 023:023 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three. |
| 023:024 These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward. |
| 023:025 For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever: |
| 023:026 And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof. |
| 023:027 For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above: |
| 023:028 Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God; |
| 023:029 Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size; |
| 023:030 And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even: |
| 023:031 And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD: |
| 023:032 And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD. |
