1 Chronicles 23:1-11 ▼

1 And David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel in his stead.

2 And he assembled all the chief men of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites.

3 And the Levites numbered themselves from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls amounted to thirty and eight thousand men.

4 Of the overseers over the works of the house of the Lord there were twenty-four thousand, and there were six thousand scribes and judges;

5 and four thousand door-keepers, and four thousand to praise the Lord with instruments which he made to praise the Lord.

6 And David divided them into daily courses, for the sons of Levi, for Gedson, Caath, and Merari.

7 And for the family of Gedson, Edan, and Semei.

8 The sons of Edan were Jeiel, the chief, and Zethan, and Joel, three.

9 The sons of Semei; Salomith, Jeiel, and Dan, three: these were the chiefs of the families of Edan.

10 And to the sons of Semei, Jeth, and Ziza, and Joas, and Beria: these were the four sons of Semei.

11 And Jeth was the chief, and Ziza the second: and Joas and Beria did not multiply sons, and they became only one reckoning according to the house of their father.
