Book 13 1 Chronicles Chapter 023

 

023:001So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his
son king over Israel.

 

023:002And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the
priests and the Levites.

 

023:003Now 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.

 

023:004Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the
work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers
and judges:

 

023:005Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised
the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to
praise therewith.

 

023:006And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi,
namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

 

023:007Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.

 

023:008The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and
Joel, three.

 

023:009The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three.
These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.

 

023:010And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and
Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

 

023:011And 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.

 

023:012The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

 

023:013The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated,
that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons
for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto
him, and to bless in his name for ever.

 

023:014Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of
the tribe of Levi.

 

023:015The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.

 

023:016Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.

 

023:017And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer
had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

 

023:018Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.

 

023:019Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second,
Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

 

023:020Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first and Jesiah the second.

 

023:021The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli;
Eleazar, and Kish.

 

023:022And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their
brethren the sons of Kish took them.

 

023:023The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.

 

023:024These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers;
even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number
of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of
the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and
upward.

 

023:025For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto
his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:

 

023:026And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the
tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.

 

023:027For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from
twenty years old and above:

 

023:028Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the
service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the
chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the
work of the service of the house of God;

 

023:029Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat
offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is
baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all
manner of measure and size;

 

023:030And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and
likewise at even:

 

023:031And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the
sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number,
according to the order commanded unto them, continually before
the LORD:

 

023:032And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge
of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the
house of the LORD.
