1 Chronicles 23:1-5 ▼

1 When David (beloved) was old and full of years, he installed his son Solomon (peace) as king over Israel (he wrestles with God).

2 Then he gathered all the leaders of Israel (he wrestles with God), as well as the priests and Levites.

3 The Levites thirty years of age or older were counted, and the total number of men was 38,000.

4 “Of these,” said David, “24,000 are to oversee the work of the house of the LORD {YHWH}, 6,000 are to be officers and judges,

5 4,000 are to be gatekeepers, and 4,000 are to praise the LORD {YHWH} with the instruments I have made for giving praise.”
