1 Chronicles 23:4-6 ▼

4 David said, |Of these, 24,000 are to direct the work of the LORD's temple; 6,000 are to be officials and judges;

5 4,000 are to be gatekeepers; and 4,000 are to praise the LORD with the instruments I supplied for worship.|

6 David divided them into groups corresponding to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
