1 Chronicles 23:1
chevron_left
chevron_right
So 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.
3
Now 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.
4
Of which, twenty and four thousand
were
to set forward the work of the house of the
L
ORD
; and six thousand
were
officers and judges:
5
Moreover four thousand
were
porters; and four thousand praised the
L
ORD
with the instruments which I made,
said David
, to praise
therewith
.
6
And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi,
namely
, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7
Of the Gershonites
were
, Laadan, and Shimei.
8
The sons of Laadan; the chief
was
Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9
The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These
were
the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
10
And the sons of Shimei
were
, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four
were
the sons of Shimei.
11
And 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.
13
The 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
L
ORD
, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.
14
Now
concerning
Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
15
The sons of Moses
were
, Gershom, and Eliezer.
16
Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel
was
the chief.
17
And the sons of Eliezer
were
, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18
Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.
19
Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20
Of 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.
22
And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
23
The 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
L
ORD
, from the age of twenty years and upward.
25
For David said, The
L
ORD
God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:
26
And also unto the Levites; they shall no
more
carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.
27
For by the last words of David the Levites
were
numbered from twenty years old and above:
28
Because their office
was
to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the
L
ORD
, 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;
29
Both 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;
30
And to stand every morning to thank and praise the
L
ORD
, and likewise at even;
31
And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the
L
ORD
in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the
L
ORD
:
32
And 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
L
ORD
.
