    1SO when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

    2¶ And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.

    3Now 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.

    4Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the Lord; and six thousand were officers and judges:

    5Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the Lord with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.

    6And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

    7¶ Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.

    8The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.

    9The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.

    10And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

    11And 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.

    12¶ The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

    13The 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.

    14Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.

    15The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.

    16Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.

    17And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

    18Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.

    19Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

    20Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah the first, and Jesiah the second.

    21¶ The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.

    22And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.

    23The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.

    24¶ 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.

    25For David said, The Lord God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:

    26And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.

    27For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:

    28Because 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;

    29Both 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;

    30And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and likewise at even;

    31And 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:

    32And 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.

  5. 1 Chronicles 25:1–26Rank 5 from verse 1
    Open

    1MOREOVER David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:

    2Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king.

    3Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the Lord.

    4Of Heman: the sons of Heman; Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth:

    5All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

    6All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king’s order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.

    7So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the Lord, even all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.

    8¶ And they cast lots, ward against ward, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.

    9Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph: the second to Gedaliah, who with his brethren and sons were twelve:

    10The third to Zaccur, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve:

    11The fourth to Izri, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve:

    12The fifth to Nethaniah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve:

    13The sixth to Bukkiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve:

    14The seventh to Jesharelah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve:

    15The eighth to Jeshaiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve:

    16The ninth to Mattaniah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve:

    17The tenth to Shimei, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve:

    18The eleventh to Azareel, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve:

    19The twelfth to Hashabiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve:

    20The thirteenth to Shubael, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve:

    21The fourteenth to Mattithiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve:

    22The fifteenth to Jeremoth, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve:

    23The sixteenth to Hananiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve:

    24The seventeenth to Joshbekashah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve:

    25The eighteenth to Hanani, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve:

    26The nineteenth to Mallothi, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve:
