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.
1¶ So *when Dauid was old and full of dayes, he made Solomon his sonne king ouer Israel.
2¶ And he gathered together all the Princes of Israel, with the Priests and the Leuites.
3Now the Leuites were numbred from the age of thirtie *yeeres and vpward: and their number, by their polles, man by man, was thirtie and eight thousand.
4Of which, twentie and foure thousand were ‖to set forward the work of the house of the LORD: and sixe thousand were Officers and Iudges.
5Moreouer, foure thousand were porters, and foure thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made ( said Dauid) to praise therewith.
6And *Dauid diuided them into †courses among the sonnes of Leui, namely Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7¶ Of the *Gershonites were ‖Laadan, and Shimei.
8The sonnes of Laadan, the chiefe was Iehiel, and Zetham, and Ioel, three.
9The sonnes of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chiefe of the fathers of Laadan.
10And the sonnes of Shimei were: Iahath, ‖Zina, and Ieush, and Beriah. These foure were the sonnes of Shimei.
11And Iahath was the chiefe, and Ziza the second: but Ieush and Beriah †had not many sonnes: therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their fathers house.
12¶ The sonnes of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, foure.
13The sonnes of *Amram: Aaron and Moses: and *Aaron was separated, that he should sanctifie the most holy things, he and his sonnes for euer, to burne incense before the LORD, to minister vnto him, and to blesse in his Name for euer.
14*Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sonnes were named of the tribe of Leui.
15The sonnes of Moses were: *Gershom and Eliezer.
16Of the sonnes of Gershom Shebuel was the chiefe.
17And the sonnes of Eliezer were: *Rehabiah ‖the chiefe. And Eliezer had none other sonnes: but the sonnes of Rehabiah †were very many.
18Of the sonnes of Izhar, Shelomith the chiefe.
19Of the sonnes of Hebron, Ieriah the first, Amariah the second, Iahaziel the third, and Iekamiam the fourth.
20Of the sonnes of Uzziel: Michah the first, and Iesiah the second.
21¶ The sonnes of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sonnes of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
22And Eleazar died, and had no sonnes but daughters: and their ‖brethren the sonnes of Kish tooke them.
23The sonnes of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Ierimoth, three.
24¶ These were the sonnes of *Leui after the house of their fathers, euen the chiefe of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polles, that did the worke for the seruice of the house of the LORD, from the age of *twentie yeeres and vpward.
25For Dauid sayd, The LORD God of Israel hath giuen rest vnto his people, ‖that they may dwell in Ierusalem for euer.
26And also vnto the Leuites: they shall no more cary the Tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the seruice thereof.
27For by the last words of Dauid, the Leuites were †numbred from twentie yeeres olde, and aboue:
28Because †their office was to wait on the sonnes of Aaron, for the seruice of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the worke of the seruice of the house of God:
29Both for the *shew-bread, and for the fine floure for meat offering, and for the vnleauened cakes, and for that which is baked in the ‖panne, and for that which is fried, and for all maner of measures and size:
30And to stand euery morning to thanke and praise the LORD, and likewise at Euen:
31And to offer all burnt sacrifices vnto the LORD in the Sabbaths, in the new moones, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded vnto them continually before the LORD:
32And that they should keepe the charge of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sonnes of Aaron their brethren, in the seruice of the house of the LORD.
