1. So when David[H1732] was old[H2204] and full[H7646] of days,[H3117] he made[H4427] [H853] Solomon[H8010] his son[H1121] king over[H5921] Israel.[H3478]
2. And he gathered together[H622] [H853] all[H3605] the princes[H8269] of Israel,[H3478] with the priests[H3548] and the Levites.[H3881]
3. Now the Levites[H3881] were numbered[H5608] from the age[H4480] [H1121] of thirty[H7970] years[H8141] and upward:[H4605] and their number[H4557] by their polls,[H1538] man by man,[H1397] was[H1961] thirty[H7970] and eight[H8083] thousand.[H505]
4. Of which,[H4480] [H428] twenty[H6242] and four[H702] thousand[H505] were to set forward[H5329] [H5921] the work[H4399] of the house[H1004] of the LORD;[H3068] and six[H8337] thousand[H505] were officers[H7860] and judges: [H8199]
5. Moreover four[H702] thousand[H505] were porters;[H7778] and four[H702] thousand[H505] praised[H1984] the LORD[H3068] with the instruments[H3627] which[H834] I made,[H6213] said David, to praise[H1984] therewith.
6. And David[H1732] divided[H2505] them into courses[H4256] among the sons[H1121] of Levi,[H3878] namely, Gershon,[H1648] Kohath,[H6955] and Merari.[H4847]
7. Of the Gershonites[H1649] were, Laadan,[H3936] and Shimei.[H8096]
8. The sons[H1121] of Laadan;[H3936] the chief[H7218] was Jehiel,[H3171] and Zetham,[H2241] and Joel,[H3100] three.[H7969]
9. The sons[H1121] of Shimei;[H8096] Shelomith,[H8013] and Haziel,[H2381] and Haran,[H2039] three.[H7969] These[H428] were the chief[H7218] of the fathers[H1] of Laadan.[H3936]
10. And the sons[H1121] of Shimei[H8096] were, Jahath,[H3189] Zina,[H2126] and Jeush,[H3266] and Beriah.[H1283] These[H428] four[H702] were the sons[H1121] of Shimei.[H8096]
11. And Jahath[H3189] was[H1961] the chief,[H7218] and Zizah[H2125] the second:[H8145] but Jeush[H3266] and Beriah[H1283] had not many[H7235] [H3808] sons;[H1121] therefore they were[H1961] in one[H259] reckoning,[H6486] according to their father's[H1] house.[H1004]
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 holy things,[H6944] [H6944] he[H1931] and his sons[H1121] forever,[H5704] [H5769] to burn incense[H6999] before[H6440] the LORD,[H3068] to minister[H8334] unto him, and to bless[H1288] in his name[H8034] forever.[H5704] [H5769]
14. Now concerning Moses[H4872] the man[H376] of God,[H430] his sons[H1121] were named[H7121] of[H5921] the tribe[H7626] of Levi.[H3878]

22. And Eleazar[H499] died,[H4191] and had[H1961] no[H3808] sons,[H1121] but[H3588] [H518] daughters:[H1323] and their brethren[H251] the sons[H1121] of Kish[H7027] took[H5375] them.
23. The sons[H1121] of Mushi;[H4187] Mahli,[H4249] and Eder,[H5740] and Jeremoth,[H3406] three.[H7969]
24. These[H428] were the sons[H1121] of Levi[H3878] after the house[H1004] of their fathers;[H1] even the chief[H7218] of the fathers,[H1] as they were counted[H6485] by number[H4557] of names[H8034] by their polls,[H1538] that did[H6213] the work[H4399] for the service[H5656] of the house[H1004] of the LORD,[H3068] from the age[H4480] [H1121] of twenty[H6242] years[H8141] and upward.[H4605]
25. For[H3588] David[H1732] said,[H559] The LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel[H3478] hath given rest[H5117] unto his people,[H5971] that they may dwell[H7931] in Jerusalem[H3389] forever:[H5704] [H5769]
26. And also[H1571] unto the Levites;[H3881] they shall no[H369] more carry[H5375] [H853] the tabernacle,[H4908] nor any[H3605] vessels[H3627] of it for the service[H5656] thereof.
27. For[H3588] by the last[H314] words[H1697] of David[H1732] the Levites[H1121] [H3881] were numbered[H4557] from twenty years old[H4480] [H1121] [H6242] [H8141] and above: [H4605]
28. Because[H3588] their office[H4612] was to wait on[H3027] the sons[H1121] of Aaron[H175] for the service[H5656] of the house[H1004] of the LORD,[H3068] in[H5921] the courts,[H2691] and in[H5921] the chambers,[H3957] and in[H5921] the purifying[H2893] of all[H3605] holy things,[H6944] and the work[H4639] of the service[H5656] of the house[H1004] of God;[H430]
29. Both for the shewbread,[H3899] [H4635] and for the fine flour[H5560] for meat offering,[H4503] and for the unleavened[H4682] cakes,[H7550] and for that which is baked in the pan,[H4227] and for that which is fried,[H7246] and for all manner[H3605] of measure[H4884] and size;[H4060]
30. And to stand[H5975] every morning[H1242] [H1242] to thank[H3034] and praise[H1984] the LORD,[H3068] and likewise[H3651] at even;[H6153]
31. And to offer[H5927] all[H3605] burnt sacrifices[H5930] unto the LORD[H3068] in the sabbaths,[H7676] in the new moons,[H2320] and on the set feasts,[H4150] by number,[H4557] according to the order[H4941] commanded unto[H5921] them, continually[H8548] before[H6440] the LORD: [H3068]
32. And that they should keep[H8104] [H853] the charge[H4931] of the tabernacle[H168] of the congregation,[H4150] and the charge[H4931] of the holy[H6944] place, and the charge[H4931] of the sons[H1121] of Aaron[H175] their brethren,[H251] in the service[H5656] of the house[H1004] of the LORD.[H3068]
