Ordered them to be assembled, partly to acquaint them with his will and pleasure, that Solomon should succeed him in the kingdom; and partly to settle the order of the work and service of the temple; and therefore these were convened

1 Chronicles 23:2 In-Context

1 When David was old and full of days, he installed his son Solomon as king over Israel.

2 Then he gathered all the leaders of Israel, the priests, and the Levites.

3 The Levites 30 years old and above were counted; the total number of men was 38,000 by headcount.

4 "Of these," [David said], "24,000 are to be in charge of the work on the Lord's temple, 6,000 are to be officers and judges

5 4,000 are to be gatekeepers, and 4,000 are to praise the Lord with the instruments that I have made for worship."
