1 Chronicles 23:3

The Divisions of the Levites

1 So when David was old and full of days, he made his son ^aSolomon king over Israel.

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

3 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of ^athirty years and above; and the number of individual males was thirty-eight thousand.

4 Of these, twenty-four thousand were to ^alook after the work of the house of the Lord, six thousand were ^bofficers and judges,

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.
