1 # So when David <01732> was old <02204> (8804) and full <07646> (8804) of days <03117>, he made Solomon <08010> his son <01121> king <04427> (8686) over Israel <03478>.
2 And he gathered together <0622> (8799) all the princes <08269> of Israel <03478>, with the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881>.
3 Now the Levites <03881> were numbered <05608> (8735) from the age <01121> of thirty <07970> years <08141> and upward <04605>: and their number <04557> by their polls <01538>, man by man <01397>, was thirty <07970> and eight <08083> thousand <0505>.
4 Of which <0428>, twenty <06242> and four <0702> thousand <0505> were to set forward <05329> (8763) the work <04399> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>; and six <08337> thousand <0505> were officers <07860> (8802) and judges <08199> (8802):
5 Moreover four <0702> thousand <0505> were porters <07778>; and four <0702> thousand <0505> praised <01984> (8764) the LORD <03068> with the instruments <03627> which I made <06213> (8804), said David, to praise <01984> (8763) therewith.
6 And David <01732> divided <02505> (8735) them into courses <04256> among the sons <01121> of Levi <03878> , namely, Gershon <01648>, Kohath <06955>, and Merari <04847>.
7 Of the Gershonites <01649> were, Laadan <03936>, and Shimei <08096>.
8 The sons <01121> of Laadan <03936>; the chief <07218> was Jehiel <03171>, and Zetham <02241>, and Joel <03100>, three <07969>.
9 The sons <01121> of Shimei <08096>; Shelomith <08019> (8675) <08013>, and Haziel <02381>, and Haran <02039>, three <07969>. These were the chief <07218> of the fathers <01> of Laadan <03936>.
10 And the sons <01121> of Shimei <08096> were, Jahath <03189>, Zina <02126>, and Jeush <03266>, and Beriah <01283>. These four <0702> were the sons <01121> of Shimei <08096>.
11 And Jahath <03189> was the chief <07218>, and Zizah <02125> the second <08145>: but Jeush <03266> and Beriah <01283> had not many <07235> (8689) sons <01121>; therefore they were in one <0259> reckoning <06486>, according to their father's <01> house <01004>.
12 The sons <01121> of Kohath <06955>; Amram <06019>, Izhar <03324>, Hebron <02275>, and Uzziel <05816>, four <0702>.
13 The sons <01121> of Amram <06019>; Aaron <0175> and Moses <04872>: and Aaron <0175> was separated <0914> (8735), that he should sanctify <06942> (8687) the most <06944> holy things <06944>, he and his sons <01121> for <05704> ever <05769>, to burn incense <06999> (8687) before <06440> the LORD <03068>, to minister <08334> (8763) unto him, and to bless <01288> (8763) in his name <08034> for <05704> ever <05769>.
14 Now concerning Moses <04872> the man <0376> of God <0430>, his sons <01121> were named <07121> (8735) of the tribe <07626> of Levi <03878>.
15 The sons <01121> of Moses <04872> were, Gershom <01647>, and Eliezer <0461>.
16 Of the sons <01121> of Gershom <01647>, Shebuel <07619> was the chief <07218>.
17 And the sons <01121> of Eliezer <0461> were, Rehabiah <07345> the chief <07218>. And Eliezer <0461> had none other <0312> sons <01121>; but the sons <01121> of Rehabiah <07345> were very <04605> many <07235> (8804) .
18 Of the sons <01121> of Izhar <03324>; Shelomith <08019> the chief <07218>.
19 Of the sons <01121> of Hebron <02275>; Jeriah <03404> the first <07218>, Amariah <0568> the second <08145> , Jahaziel <03166> the third <07992>, and Jekameam <03360> the fourth <07243>.
20 Of the sons <01121> of Uzziel <05816>; Michah <04318> the first <07218>, and Jesiah <03449> the second <08145>.
21 The sons <01121> of Merari <04847>; Mahli <04249>, and Mushi <04187>. The sons <01121> of Mahli <04249> ; Eleazar <0499>, and Kish <07027>.
22 And Eleazar <0499> died <04191> (8799), and had no sons <01121>, but daughters <01323>: and their brethren <0251> the sons <01121> of Kish <07027> took <05375> (8799) them.
23 The sons <01121> of Mushi <04187>; Mahli <04249>, and Eder <05740>, and Jeremoth <03406>, three <07969>.
24 # These were the sons <01121> of Levi <03878> after the house <01004> of their fathers <01>; even the chief <07218> of the fathers <01>, as they were counted <06485> (8803) by number <04557> of names <08034> by their polls <01538> , that did <06213> (8802) the work <04399> for the service <05656> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, from the age <01121> of twenty <06242> years <08141> and upward <04605>.
25 For David <01732> said <0559> (8804), The LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> hath given rest <05117> (8689) unto his people <05971>, that they may dwell <07931> (8799) in Jerusalem <03389> for ever <05769> :
26 And also unto the Levites <03881>; they shall no more carry <05375> (8800) the tabernacle <04908>, nor any vessels <03627> of it for the service <05656> thereof.
27 For by the last <0314> words <01697> of David <01732> the Levites <03881> were numbered <04557> from twenty <06242> years <08141> old <01121> and above <04605>:
28 Because their office <04612> was to wait <03027> on the sons <01121> of Aaron <0175> for the service <05656> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, in the courts <02691>, and in the chambers <03957>, and in the purifying <02893> of all holy things <06944>, and the work <04639> of the service <05656> of the house <01004> of God <0430>;
29 Both for the shewbread <03899> <04635>, and for the fine flour <05560> for meat offering <04503>, and for the unleavened <04682> cakes <07550>, and for that which is baked in the pan <04227>, and for that which is fried <07246> (8716), and for all manner of measure <04884> and size <04060>;
30 And to stand <05975> (8800) every morning <01242> to thank <03034> (8687) and praise <01984> (8763) the LORD <03068>, and likewise at even <06153>;
31 And to offer <05927> (8687) all burnt sacrifices <05930> unto the LORD <03068> in the sabbaths <07676>, in the new moons <02320>, and on the set feasts <04150>, by number <04557>, according to the order <04941> commanded unto them, continually <08548> before <06440> the LORD <03068>:
32 And that they should keep <08104> (8804) the charge <04931> of the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150> , and the charge <04931> of the holy <06944> place, and the charge <04931> of the sons <01121> of Aaron <0175> their brethren <0251>, in the service <05656> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
