• 1 Chr 23:1-9 : 1 So when David{H1732} was old{H2204}{(H8804)} and full{H7646}{(H8804)} of days{H3117}, he made Solomon{H8010} his son{H1121} king{H4427}{(H8686)} over Israel{H3478}. 2 And he gathered together{H622}{(H8799)} all the princes{H8269} of Israel{H3478}, with the priests{H3548} and the Levites{H3881}. 3 Now the Levites{H3881} were numbered{H5608}{(H8735)} from the age{H1121} of thirty{H7970} years{H8141} and upward{H4605}: and their number{H4557} by their polls{H1538}, man by man{H1397}, was thirty{H7970} and eight{H8083} thousand{H505}. 4 Of which{H428}, twenty{H6242} and four{H702} thousand{H505} were to set forward{H5329}{(H8763)} the work{H4399} of the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}; and six{H8337} thousand{H505} were officers{H7860}{(H8802)} and judges{H8199}{(H8802)}: 5 Moreover four{H702} thousand{H505} were porters{H7778}; and four{H702} thousand{H505} praised{H1984}{(H8764)} the LORD{H3068} with the instruments{H3627} which I made{H6213}{(H8804)}, said David, to praise{H1984}{(H8763)} therewith. 6 And David{H1732} divided{H2505}{(H8735)} them into courses{H4256} among the sons{H1121} of Levi{H3878}, namely, Gershon{H1648}, Kohath{H6955}, and Merari{H4847}. 7 Of the Gershonites{H1649} were, Laadan{H3936}, and Shimei{H8096}. 8 The sons{H1121} of Laadan{H3936}; the chief{H7218} was Jehiel{H3171}, and Zetham{H2241}, and Joel{H3100}, three{H7969}. 9 The sons{H1121} of Shimei{H8096}; Shelomith{H8019}{(H8675)}{H8013}, and Haziel{H2381}, and Haran{H2039}, three{H7969}. These were the chief{H7218} of the fathers{H1} of Laadan{H3936}. 10 And the sons{H1121} of Shimei{H8096} were, Jahath{H3189}, Zina{H2126}, and Jeush{H3266}, and Beriah{H1283}. These four{H702} were the sons{H1121} of Shimei{H8096}. 11 And Jahath{H3189} was the chief{H7218}, and Zizah{H2125} the second{H8145}: but Jeush{H3266} and Beriah{H1283} had not many{H7235}{(H8689)} sons{H1121}; therefore they were in one{H259} reckoning{H6486}, according to their father's{H1} house{H1004}. 12 The sons{H1121} of Kohath{H6955}; Amram{H6019}, Izhar{H3324}, Hebron{H2275}, and Uzziel{H5816}, four{H702}. 13 The sons{H1121} of Amram{H6019}; Aaron{H175} and Moses{H4872}: and Aaron{H175} was separated{H914}{(H8735)}, that he should sanctify{H6942}{(H8687)} the most{H6944} holy things{H6944}, he and his sons{H1121} for{H5704} ever{H5769}, to burn incense{H6999}{(H8687)} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}, to minister{H8334}{(H8763)} unto him, and to bless{H1288}{(H8763)} in his name{H8034} for{H5704} ever{H5769}. 14 Now concerning Moses{H4872} the man{H376} of God{H430}, his sons{H1121} were named{H7121}{(H8735)} of the tribe{H7626} of Levi{H3878}. 15 The sons{H1121} of Moses{H4872} were, Gershom{H1647}, and Eliezer{H461}. 16 Of the sons{H1121} of Gershom{H1647}, Shebuel{H7619} was the chief{H7218}. 17 And the sons{H1121} of Eliezer{H461} were, Rehabiah{H7345} the chief{H7218}. And Eliezer{H461} had none other{H312} sons{H1121}; but the sons{H1121} of Rehabiah{H7345} were very{H4605} many{H7235}{(H8804)}. 18 Of the sons{H1121} of Izhar{H3324}; Shelomith{H8019} the chief{H7218}. 19 Of the sons{H1121} of Hebron{H2275}; Jeriah{H3404} the first{H7218}, Amariah{H568} the second{H8145}, Jahaziel{H3166} the third{H7992}, and Jekameam{H3360} the fourth{H7243}. 20 Of the sons{H1121} of Uzziel{H5816}; Michah{H4318} the first{H7218}, and Jesiah{H3449} the second{H8145}. 21 The sons{H1121} of Merari{H4847}; Mahli{H4249}, and Mushi{H4187}. The sons{H1121} of Mahli{H4249}; Eleazar{H499}, and Kish{H7027}. 22 And Eleazar{H499} died{H4191}{(H8799)}, and had no sons{H1121}, but daughters{H1323}: and their brethren{H251} the sons{H1121} of Kish{H7027} took{H5375}{(H8799)} them. 23 The sons{H1121} of Mushi{H4187}; Mahli{H4249}, and Eder{H5740}, and Jeremoth{H3406}, three{H7969}. 24 These were the sons{H1121} of Levi{H3878} after the house{H1004} of their fathers{H1}; even the chief{H7218} of the fathers{H1}, as they were counted{H6485}{(H8803)} by number{H4557} of names{H8034} by their polls{H1538}, that did{H6213}{(H8802)} the work{H4399} for the service{H5656} of the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}, from the age{H1121} of twenty{H6242} years{H8141} and upward{H4605}. 25 For David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8804)}, The LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478} hath given rest{H5117}{(H8689)} unto his people{H5971}, that they may dwell{H7931}{(H8799)} in Jerusalem{H3389} for ever{H5769}: 26 And also unto the Levites{H3881}; they shall no more carry{H5375}{(H8800)} the tabernacle{H4908}, nor any vessels{H3627} of it for the service{H5656} thereof.
