"Twenty-four thousand of these," David said, "shall have charge of the work in the house of the LORD, six thousand shall be officers and judges
5
four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand shall offer praises to the LORD with the instruments which I have made for praise."

And David organized them in divisions corresponding to the sons of Levi: Gershom, Kohath, and Merar'i.
7
The sons of Gersham were Ladan and Shim'e-i.
8
The sons of Ladan: Jehi'el the chief, and Zetham, and Jo'el, three.
9
The sons of Shim'e-i: Shelo'moth, Ha'zi-el, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers' houses of Ladan.
10
And the sons of Shim'e-i: Jahath, Zina, and Je'ush, and Beri'ah. These four were the sons of Shim'e-i.
11
Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Je'ush and Beri'ah had not many sons, therefore they became a father's house in one reckoning.
12
The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uz'ziel, four.
13
The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron was set apart to consecrate the most holy things, that he and his sons for ever should burn incense before the LORD, and minister to him and pronounce blessings in his name for ever.

But the sons of Moses the man of God were named among the tribe of Levi
