1 Now David was old and full of days; and he made Shlomo his son king over Yisra'el.

2 He gathered together all the princes of Yisra'el, with the Kohanim and the Levites.

3 The Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.

4 Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges

5 and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, [said David], to praise therewith.
