  • 2 Chr 8:14 : 14 And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their tasks, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so David the man of God had commanded.
  • 1 Chr 23:1-9 : 1 So when David was old and full of years, he made Solomon his son king over Israel. 2 And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel, with the priests and the Levites. 3 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their count by head, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand. 4 Of which, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges: 5 Moreover, four thousand were gatekeepers; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise with them. 6 And David divided them into divisions among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 7 Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei. 8 The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, then Zetham, and Joel, three. 9 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chiefs of the fathers of Laadan. 10 And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. 11 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons; therefore they were counted as one father's house. 12 The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four. 13 The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was set apart, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to Him, and to bless in His name forever. 14 Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi. 15 The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer. 16 Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief. 17 And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many. 18 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith was the chief. 19 Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. 20 Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah the first, and Jesiah the second. 21 The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish. 22 And Eleazar died and had no sons, but daughters: and their brothers, the sons of Kish, took them. 23 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three. 24 These were the sons of Levi according to the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by head, who did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward. 25 For David said, The LORD God of Israel has given rest to his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem forever: 26 And also to the Levites; they shall no longer carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for its service.

  • Neh 11:10-20 : 10 Of the priests: Jedaiah the son of Joiarib, Jachin. 11 Seraiah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, was the ruler of the house of God. 12 And their brethren who did the work of the house were eight hundred twenty-two: and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchiah, 13 And his brethren, chief of the fathers, two hundred forty-two: and Amashai the son of Azareel, the son of Ahasai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer, 14 And their brethren, mighty men of valor, one hundred twenty-eight: and their overseer was Zabdiel, the son of one of the great men. 15 Also of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hashub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni; 16 And Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chief of the Levites, had the oversight of the outward business of the house of God. 17 And Mattaniah the son of Micha, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, was the principal to begin the thanksgiving in prayer: and Bakbukiah the second among his brethren, and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun. 18 All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred eighty-four. 19 Moreover the gatekeepers, Akkub, Talmon, and their brethren who kept the gates, were one hundred seventy-two. 20 And the rest of Israel, of the priests, and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance.
  • 1 Chr 9:10-34 : 10 And of the priests: Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, and Jachin. 11 And Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God. 12 And Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer. 13 And their brethren, heads of their ancestral houses, one thousand seven hundred and sixty; very able men for the work of the service of the house of God. 14 And of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari. 15 And Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph. 16 And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites. 17 And the gatekeepers were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their brethren; Shallum was the chief. 18 They previously served in the king's gate to the east. They were gatekeepers for the camps of the Levites. 19 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren from his ancestral house, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gate of the tabernacle as their ancestors had been in charge of the camp of the LORD, keeping the entry. 20 Phinehas the son of Eleazar had been their leader, and the LORD was with him. 21 Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was the keeper of the door for the tent of meeting. 22 All those chosen to be gatekeepers in the gates were two hundred and twelve. They were registered by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer appointed in their set office. 23 They and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by divisions. 24 The gatekeepers were in four quarters: east, west, north, and south. 25 Their brethren in their villages were to come with them from time to time for seven days. 26 For these Levites, the four chief gatekeepers, had been appointed over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God. 27 They stayed around the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and they had the duty of opening it every morning. 28 Some of them were in charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by count. 29 Others were appointed to oversee the vessels, all the instruments of the sanctuary, the fine flour, the wine, the oil, the frankincense, and the spices. 30 Some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices. 31 Mattithiah, one of the Levites, the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with making the items in the pans. 32 Their brethren from the Kohathites were in charge of preparing the showbread every Sabbath. 33 These are the singers, ancestors of the Levites, who stayed in the chambers and were exempt from other duties because they were employed in that work day and night. 34 These chief ancestors of the Levites, chief throughout their generations, lived in Jerusalem.
