1 Chronicles - ch 23 v 1 - 20
- And David is old, and satisfied with days, and causeth his son Solomon to reign over Israel,
- and gathereth all the heads of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites;
- and the Levites are numbered from a son of thirty years and upward, and their number, by their polls, is of mighty men thirty and eight thousand.
- Of these to preside over the work of the house of Jehovah `are' twenty and four thousand, and officers and judges six thousand,
- and four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand giving praise to Jehovah, `with instruments that I made for praising,' `saith David.'
- And David distributeth them into courses: Of the sons of Levi: of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
- Of the Gershonite: Laadan and Shimei.
- Sons of Laadan: the head `is' Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
- Sons of Shimei `are' Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three; these `are' heads of the fathers of Laadan.
- And sons of Shimei `are' Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah; these `are' sons of Shimei, four.
- And Jahath is the head, and Zizah the second, and Jeush and Beriah have not multiplied sons, and they become the house of a father by one numbering.
- Sons of Kohath `are' Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
- Sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron is separated for his sanctifying the holy of holies, he and his sons -- unto the age, to make perfume before Jehovah, to serve Him, and to bless in His name -- unto the age.
- As to Moses, the man of God, his sons are called after the tribe of Levi.
- Sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
- Sons of Gershom: Shebuel the head.
- And sons of Eliezer are Rehabiah the head, and Eliezer had no other sons, and the sons of Rehabiah have multiplied exceedingly.
- Sons of Izhar: Shelomith the head.
- Sons of Hebron: Jeriah the head, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
- Sons of Uzziel: Micah the head, and Ishshiah, the second.
