2
And he assembled 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 oversee 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 [with them].
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.
