1 Then David, being old and full of days, appointed his son Solomon as king over Israel. 2 And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel, with the priests as well as the Levites. 3 And the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward. And there were found thirty-eight thousand men. 4 Of these, twenty-four thousand were chosen and distributed to the ministry of the house of the Lord. Then six thousand were overseers and judges. 5 Moreover, four thousand were porters. And the same number were the singers of psalms to the Lord, with the musical instruments which he had made for the music. 6 And David distributed them into courses according to the sons of Levi, specifically, Gershom, and Kohath, and Merari. 7 The sons of Gershom: Ladan and Shimei. 1 Chronicles 23:1-7, Catholic Public Domain Version.
