1 Chronicles 23:1-13 ▼

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.

12 The sons of Caath; Ambram, Isaar, Chebron, Oziel, four.

13 The sons of Ambram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was appointed for the consecration of the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister and bless in his name for ever.
