1 Chronicles 23:1-13 ▼

1 And David was old and full of days, and he will make Solomon his son king over Israel.

2 And he will gather together all the chiefs of Israel, and the priests and the Levites.

3 And the Levites will be numbered from the son of thirty years and above: and their number, for their craniums, for the men, thirty and eight thousand.

4 From these to superintend over the work of the house of Jehovah, twenty and four thousand; and scribes and judges, six thousand:

5 And four thousand gate keepers, and four thousand praising to Jehovah with instruments which I made to praise.

6 And David will divide them into divisions to the sons of Levi, to Gershon, Kohath and Merari.

7 To Gershon, Laadan, and Shimei.

8 The sons of Laadan: the head, Jehiel, and Zetham and Joel, three.

9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel and Haran three. These heads of the fathers to Laadan.

10 And the sons of Shimei Jahath, Zina, and Jeush and Beriah. These four the sons of Shimei.

11 And Jahath will be head, and Ziza, the second: and Jeush and Beriah did not multiply sons; and they will be to the father's house for one reviewing.

12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel, four.

13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses: and Aaron will be separated for his consecrating the holy of holies, he and his sons, even to forever, to burn incense before Jehovah to serve him and to praise in his name, even to forever.
