1Ch 23:1 So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

1Ch 23:2 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.

1Ch 23:3 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.

1Ch 23:4 Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges:

1Ch 23:5 Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.

1Ch 23:6 And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

1Ch 23:7 Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.

1Ch 23:8 The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.

1Ch 23:9 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.

1Ch 23:10 And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

1Ch 23:11 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father's house.

1Ch 23:12 The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

1Ch 23:13 The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.

1Ch 23:14 Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.

1Ch 23:15 The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.

1Ch 23:16 Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.

1Ch 23:17 And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

1Ch 23:18 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.

1Ch 23:19 Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

1Ch 23:20 Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah the first, and Jesiah the second.

1Ch 23:21 The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.

1Ch 23:22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.

1Ch 23:23 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.

1Ch 23:24 These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward.

1Ch 23:25 For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:

1Ch 23:26 And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.

1Ch 23:27 For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:

1Ch 23:28 Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;

1Ch 23:29 Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;

1Ch 23:30 And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even;

1Ch 23:31 And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD:

1Ch 23:32 And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD.

1Ch 24:1 Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

1Ch 24:2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.

1Ch 24:3 And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.

1Ch 24:4 And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.

1Ch 24:5 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.

1Ch 24:6 And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.

1Ch 24:7 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,

1Ch 24:8 The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,

1Ch 24:9 The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,

1Ch 24:10 The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,

1Ch 24:11 The ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,

1Ch 24:12 The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,

1Ch 24:13 The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,

1Ch 24:14 The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,

1Ch 24:15 The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,

1Ch 24:16 The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,

1Ch 24:17 The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul,

1Ch 24:18 The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.

1Ch 24:19 These were the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.

1Ch 24:20 And the rest of the sons of Levi were these: Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah.

1Ch 24:21 Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah.

1Ch 24:25 The brother of Michah was Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah.

1Ch 24:26 The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno.

1Ch 24:27 The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.

1Ch 24:28 Of Mahli came Eleazar, who had no sons.

1Ch 24:29 Concerning Kish: the son of Kish was Jerahmeel.

1Ch 24:30 The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers.

1Ch 24:31 These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren.

1Ch 25:1 Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:

1Ch 25:2 Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king.

1Ch 25:3 Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD.

1Ch 25:5 All these were the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

1Ch 25:6 All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.

1Ch 25:7 So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD, even all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.

1Ch 25:8 And they cast lots, ward against ward, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.

1Ch 25:9 Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph: the second to Gedaliah, who with his brethren and sons were twelve:

1Ch 26:6 Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they were mighty men of valour.

1Ch 26:7 The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah.

1Ch 26:8 All these of the sons of Obededom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were threescore and two of Obededom.

1Ch 26:9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen.

1Ch 26:10 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;)

1Ch 26:11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.

1Ch 26:12 Among these were the divisions of the porters, even among the chief men, having wards one against another, to minister in the house of the LORD.

1Ch 26:13 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.

1Ch 26:14 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.

1Ch 26:26 Which Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the host, had dedicated.
