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.
