4 Of these, twenty-four thousand were to direct the service of the house of the LORD, six thousand were to be officials and judges,

5 four thousand were to be gatekeepers, and four thousand were to praise the LORD with the instruments which [David] had devised for praise.

6 David apportioned them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
