23When David was old and full of years, he made his son Solomon king over Israel.H1732H2204H7646H3117H8010H1121H4427H3478 2He also gathered together all the leaders of Israel, as well as the priests and Levites.H622H8269H3478H3548H3881 3The Levites thirty years old or more were counted, and the total number of men was thirty-eight thousand.H3881H5608H1121H7970H8141H4605H4557H1538H1397H7970H8083H505 4David said, "Of these, twenty-four thousand are to supervise the work of the temple of the LORD and six thousand are to be officials and judges.H428H6242H702H505H5329H4399H1004H3068H8337H505H7860H8199 5Four thousand are to be gatekeepers and four thousand are to praise the LORD with the musical instruments I have provided for that purpose."H702H505H7778H702H505H1984H3068H3627H6213H1984 6David divided the Levites into groups corresponding to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath and Merari.H1732H2505H4256H1121H3878H1648H6955H4847 7Belonging to the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.H1649H3936H8096 8The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the first, Zetham and Joel--three in all.H1121H3936H7218H3171H2241H3100H7969 9The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel and Haran--three in all.

These were the sons of Shimei--four in all.H1121H8096H3189H2126H3266H1283H702H1121H8096 11Jahath was the first and Ziza the second, but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons; so they were counted as one family with one assignment.H3189H7218H2125H8145H3266H1283H7235H1121H259H6486H1H1004 12The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel--four in all.H1121H6955H6019H3324H2275H5816H702 13The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses.

Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.H499H4191H1121H1323H251H1121H7027H5375 23The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder and Jerimoth--three in all.H1121H4187H4249H5740H3406H7969 24These were the descendants of Levi by their families--the heads of families as they were registered under their names and counted individually, that is, the workers twenty years old or more who served in the temple of the LORD.H1121H3878H1004H1H7218H1H6485H4557H8034H1538H6213H4399H5656H1004H3068H1121H6242H8141H4605 25For David had said, "Since the LORD, the God of Israel, has granted rest to his people and has come to dwell in Jerusalem forever,H1732H559H3068H430H3478H5117H5971H7931H3389H5769 26the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the articles used in its service."H3881H5375H4908H3627H5656 27According to the last instructions of David, the Levites were counted from those twenty years old or more.H314H1697H1732H3881H4557H6242H8141H1121H4605 28The duty of the Levites was to help Aaron's descendants in the service of the temple of the LORD: to be in charge of the courtyards, the side rooms, the purification of all sacred things and the performance of other duties at the house of God.H4612H3027H1121H175H5656H1004H3068H2691H3957H2893H6944H4639H5656H1004H430 29They were in charge of the bread set out on the table, the flour for the grain offerings, the unleavened wafers, the baking and the mixing, and all measurements of quantity and size.H3899H4635H5560H4503H4682H7550H4227H7246H4884H4060 30They were also to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD. They were to do the same in the eveningH5975H1242H3034H1984H3068H6153 31and whenever burnt offerings were presented to the LORD on Sabbaths and at New Moon festivals and at appointed feasts. They were to serve before the LORD regularly in the proper number and in the way prescribed for them.H5927H5930H3068H7676H2320H4150H4557H4941H8548H6440H3068 32And so the Levites carried out their responsibilities for the Tent of Meeting, for the Holy Place and, under their brothers the descendants of Aaron, for the service of the temple of the LORD.H8104H4931H168H4150H4931H6944H4931H1121H175H251H5656H1004H3068
