1 Chronicles 23:3; 1 Chronicles 24:4; 1 Chronicles 26:12

3 The Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward, and their number by census of men was 38,000 .

4 Since more chief men were found from the descendants of Eleazar than the descendants of Ithamar, they divided them thus: there were sixteen heads of fathers' households of the descendants of Eleazar and eight of the descendants of Ithamar, according to their fathers' households.

12 To these divisions of the gatekeepers, the chief men, were given duties like their relatives to minister in the house of the LORD .
