Chapter 23
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
Lord;
and
six
thousand
were
officers
and
judges:
5
Moreover
four
thousand
were
porters;
and
four
thousand
praised
the
Lord
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
Lord,
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
Lord,
from
the
age
of
twenty
years
and
upward.
25
For
David
said,
The
Lord
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
Lord,
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
Lord,
and
likewise
at
even;
31
And
to
offer
all
burnt
sacrifices
unto
the
Lord
in
the
sabbaths,
in
the
new
moons,
and
on
the
set
feasts,
by
number,
according
to
the
order
commanded
unto
them,
continually
before
the
Lord:
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
Lord.
