1. Now David[H1732] was old[H2204] and full[H7646] of days[H3117]; and he made Solomon[H8010] his son[H1121] king[H4427] over Israel[H3478].

2. And he gathered together[H622] all the princes[H8269] of Israel[H3478], with the priests[H3548] and the Levites[H3881].

3. And the Levites[H3881] were numbered[H5608] from thirty[H7970] years[H1121] old and upward[H4605]: and their number[H4557] by their polls[H1538], man[H1397] by man[H1397], was thirty[H7970] and eight[H8083] thousand[H505].

4. Of these[H428], twenty[H6242] and four[H702] thousand[H505] were to oversee[H5329] the work[H4399] of the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068]; and six[H8337] thousand[H505] were officers[H7860] and judges[H8199];

5. and four[H702] thousand[H505] were doorkeepers[H7778]; and four[H702] thousand[H505] praised[H1984] Jehovah[H3068] with the instruments[H3627] which I made[H6213], said David[H1984], to praise therewith.

6. And David[H1732] divided[H2505] them into courses[H4256] according to the sons[H1121] of Levi[H3878]: Gershon[H1648], Kohath[H6955], and Merari[H4847].

7. Of the Gershonites[H1649]: Ladan[H3936] and Shimei[H8096].

8. The sons[H1121] of Ladan[H3936]: Jehiel[H3171] the chief[H7218], and Zetham[H2241], and Joel[H3100], three[H7969].

9. The sons[H1121] of Shimei[H8096]: Shelomoth[H8019], and Haziel[H2381], and Haran[H2039], three[H7969]. These were the heads[H7218] of the fathers[H1]' houses of Ladan[H3936].

10. And the sons[H1121] of Shimei[H8096]: Jahath[H3189], Zina[H2126], and Jeush[H3266], and Beriah[H1283]. These four[H702] were the sons[H1121] of Shimei[H8096].

11. And Jahath[H3189] was the chief[H7218], and Zizah[H2125] the second[H8145]: but Jeush[H3266] and Beriah[H1283] had not many[H7235] sons[H1121]; therefore they became a fathers[H1]' house[H1004] in one[H259] reckoning[H6486].

12. The sons[H1121] of Kohath[H6955]: Amram[H6019], Izhar[H3324], Hebron[H2275], and Uzziel[H5816], four[H702].

13. The sons[H1121] of Amram[H6019]: Aaron[H175] and Moses[H4872]; and Aaron[H175] was separated[H914], that he should sanctify[H6942] the most[H6944] holy things[H6944], he and his sons[H1121], for[H5704] ever[H5769], to burn incense[H6999] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068], to minister[H8334] unto him[H1288], and to bless in his name[H8034], for[H5704] ever[H5769].

14. But as for Moses[H4872] the man[H376] of God[H430], his sons[H1121] were named[H7121] among the tribe[H7626] of Levi[H3878].

15. The sons[H1121] of Moses[H4872]: Gershom[H1647] and Eliezer[H461].

16. The sons[H1121] of Gershom[H1647]: Shebuel[H7619] the chief[H7218].

17. And the sons[H1121] of Eliezer[H461] were[H7345]: Rehabiah the chief[H7218]; and Eliezer[H461] had no other[H312] sons[H1121]; but the sons[H1121] of Rehabiah[H7345] were very[H4605] many[H7235].

18. The sons[H1121] of Izhar[H3324]: Shelomith[H8019] the chief[H7218].

19. The sons[H1121] of Hebron[H2275]: Jeriah[H3404] the chief[H7218], Amariah[H568] the second[H8145], Jahaziel[H3166] the third[H7992], and Jekameam[H3360] the fourth[H7243].

20. The sons[H1121] of Uzziel[H5816]: Micah[H4318] the chief[H7218], and Isshiah[H3449] the second[H8145].

21. The sons[H1121] of Merari[H4847]: Mahli[H4249] and Mushi[H4187]. The sons[H1121] of Mahli[H4249]: Eleazar[H499] and Kish[H7027].

22. And Eleazar[H499] died[H4191], and had no sons[H1121], but daughters[H1323] only[H251]: and their brethren the sons[H1121] of Kish[H7027] took them to wife[H5375].

23. The sons[H1121] of Mushi[H4187]: Mahli[H4249], and Eder[H5740], and Jeremoth[H3406], three[H7969].

24. These were the sons[H1121] of Levi[H3878] after their fathers[H1]' houses[H1004], even the heads[H7218] of the fathers[H1]' houses of those of them that were counted[H6485], in the number[H4557] of names[H8034] by their polls[H1538], who did[H6213] the work[H4399] for the service[H5656] of the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068], from twenty[H6242] years[H1121] old[H1121] and upward[H4605].

25. For David[H1732] said[H559], Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of Israel[H3478], hath given rest[H5117] unto his people[H5971]; and he dwelleth[H7931] in Jerusalem[H3389] for ever[H5769]:

26. and also the Levites[H3881] shall no more have need to carry[H5375] the tabernacle[H4908] and all the vessels[H3627] of it for the service thereof[H5656].

27. For by the last[H314] words[H1697] of David[H1732] the sons of Levi[H3881] were numbered[H4557], from twenty[H6242] years[H8141] old[H1121] and upward[H4605].

28. For their office[H4612] was to wait[H3027] on the sons[H1121] of Aaron[H175] for the service[H5656] of the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068], in the courts[H2691], and in the chambers[H3957], and in the purifying[H2893] of all holy things[H6944], even the work[H4639] of the service[H5656] of the house[H1004] of God[H430];

29. for the showbread[H3899] also[H5560], and for the fine flour for a meal-offering[H4503], whether of unleavened[H4682] wafers[H7550], or of that which is baked in the pan[H4227], or of that which is soaked[H7246], and for all manner of measure[H4884] and size[H4060];

30. and to stand[H5975] every morning[H1242] to thank[H3034] and praise[H1984] Jehovah[H3068], and likewise at even[H6153];

31. and to offer[H5927] all burnt-offerings[H5930] unto Jehovah[H3068], on the sabbaths[H7676], on the new moons[H2320], and on the set feasts[H4150], in number[H4557] according to the ordinance[H4941] concerning them[H8548], continually before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068];

32. and that they should keep[H8104] the charge[H4931] of the tent[H168] of meeting[H4150], and the charge[H4931] of the holy[H6944] place[H4931], and the charge of the sons[H1121] of Aaron[H175] their brethren[H251], for the service[H5656] of the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068].
