1 Chronicles 23:7 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

1 Chronicles 23:7

5 four thousand were gatekeepers, and four thousand ^apraised the Lord with musical instruments, ^b“which I made,” said David, “for giving praise.”

6 Also ^aDavid separated them into divisions among the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

7 Of the ^aGershonites: Laadan and Shimei.

8 The sons of Laadan: the first Jehiel, then Zetham and Joel—three in all.

9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomith, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the fathers’ houses of Laadan.

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

11 Jahath was the first and Zizah the second. But Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons; therefore they were assigned as one father’s house.

12 ^aThe sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four in all.

13 The sons of ^aAmram: Aaron and Moses; and ^bAaron was set apart, he and his sons forever, that he should¹ sanctify the most holy things, ^cto burn incense before the Lord, ^dto minister to Him, and ^eto give the blessing in His name forever.
