So when DavidH1732 was oldH2204 and fullH7646 of daysH3117, he made SolomonH8010 his sonH1121 kingH4427 over IsraelH3478.
And he gathered togetherH622 all the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478, with the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881.
Now the LevitesH3881 were numberedH5608 from the ageH1121 of thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 and upwardH4605: and their numberH4557 by their pollsH1538, man by manH1397, was thirtyH7970 and eightH8083 thousandH505.
Of whichH428, twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505 were to set forwardH5329 the workH4399 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; and sixH8337 thousandH505 were officersH7860 and judgesH8199: {set…: or, oversee}
Moreover fourH702 thousandH505 were portersH7778; and fourH702 thousandH505 praisedH1984 the LORDH3068 with the instrumentsH3627 which I madeH6213, said David, to praiseH1984 therewith.
And DavidH1732 dividedH2505 them into coursesH4256 among the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, namely, GershonH1648, KohathH6955, and MerariH4847. {courses: Heb. divisions}
Of the GershonitesH1649 were, LaadanH3936, and ShimeiH8096. {Laadan: or, Libni}
The sonsH1121 of LaadanH3936; the chiefH7218 was JehielH3171, and ZethamH2241, and JoelH3100, threeH7969.
The sonsH1121 of ShimeiH8096; ShelomithH8019+H8013, and HazielH2381, and HaranH2039, threeH7969. These were the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of LaadanH3936.
And the sonsH1121 of ShimeiH8096 were, JahathH3189, ZinaH2126, and JeushH3266, and BeriahH1283. These fourH702 were the sonsH1121 of ShimeiH8096. {Zina: or, Zizah}
And JahathH3189 was the chiefH7218, and ZizahH2125 the secondH8145: but JeushH3266 and BeriahH1283 had not manyH7235 sonsH1121; therefore they were in oneH259 reckoningH6486, according to their father'sH1 houseH1004. {had…: Heb. did not multiply sons}
The sonsH1121 of KohathH6955; AmramH6019, IzharH3324, HebronH2275, and UzzielH5816, fourH702.
The sonsH1121 of AmramH6019; AaronH175 and MosesH4872: and AaronH175 was separatedH914, that he should sanctifyH6942 the mostH6944 holy thingsH6944, he and his sonsH1121 forH5704 everH5769, to burn incenseH6999 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to ministerH8334 unto him, and to blessH1288 in his nameH8034 forH5704 everH5769.
Now concerning MosesH4872 the manH376 of GodH430, his sonsH1121 were namedH7121 of the tribeH7626 of LeviH3878.
The sonsH1121 of MosesH4872 were, GershomH1647, and EliezerH461.
Of the sonsH1121 of GershomH1647, ShebuelH7619 was the chiefH7218. {Shebuel: or, Shubael}
And the sonsH1121 of EliezerH461 were, RehabiahH7345 the chiefH7218. And EliezerH461 had none otherH312 sonsH1121; but the sonsH1121 of RehabiahH7345 were veryH4605 manyH7235. {the chief: or, the first} {very many: Heb. were highly multiplied}
Of the sonsH1121 of IzharH3324; ShelomithH8019 the chiefH7218.
Of the sonsH1121 of HebronH2275; JeriahH3404 the firstH7218, AmariahH568 the secondH8145, JahazielH3166 the thirdH7992, and JekameamH3360 the fourthH7243.
Of the sonsH1121 of UzzielH5816; MichahH4318 the firstH7218, and JesiahH3449 the secondH8145.
The sonsH1121 of MerariH4847; MahliH4249, and MushiH4187. The sonsH1121 of MahliH4249; EleazarH499, and KishH7027.
And EleazarH499 diedH4191, and had no sonsH1121, but daughtersH1323: and their brethrenH251 the sonsH1121 of KishH7027 tookH5375 them. {brethren: or, kinsmen}
The sonsH1121 of MushiH4187; MahliH4249, and EderH5740, and JeremothH3406, threeH7969.
These were the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 after the houseH1004 of their fathersH1; even the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1, as they were countedH6485 by numberH4557 of namesH8034 by their pollsH1538, that didH6213 the workH4399 for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, from the ageH1121 of twentyH6242 yearsH8141 and upwardH4605.
For DavidH1732 saidH559, The LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 hath given restH5117 unto his peopleH5971, that they may dwellH7931 in JerusalemH3389 for everH5769: {that…: or, and he dwelleth in Jerusalem, etc}
And also unto the LevitesH3881; they shall no more carryH5375 the tabernacleH4908, nor any vesselsH3627 of it for the serviceH5656 thereof.
For by the lastH314 wordsH1697 of DavidH1732 the LevitesH3881 were numberedH4557 from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and aboveH4605: {numbered: Heb. number}
Because their officeH4612 was to waitH3027 on the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, in the courtsH2691, and in the chambersH3957, and in the purifyingH2893 of all holy thingsH6944, and the workH4639 of the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430; {their…: Heb. their station was at the hand of the sons of Aaron}
Both for the shewbreadH3899+H4635, and for the fine flourH5560 for meat offeringH4503, and for the unleavenedH4682 cakesH7550, and for that which is baked in the panH4227, and for that which is friedH7246, and for all manner of measureH4884 and sizeH4060; {pan: or, flat plate}
And to standH5975 every morningH1242 to thankH3034 and praiseH1984 the LORDH3068, and likewise at evenH6153;
And to offerH5927 all burnt sacrificesH5930 unto the LORDH3068 in the sabbathsH7676, in the new moonsH2320, and on the set feastsH4150, by numberH4557, according to the orderH4941 commanded unto them, continuallyH8548 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068:
And that they should keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and the chargeH4931 of the holyH6944 place, and the chargeH4931 of the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 their brethrenH251, in the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.

And JoelH3100 the sonH1121 of ZichriH2147 was their overseerH6496: and JudahH3063 the sonH1121 of SenuahH5574 was secondH4932 over the cityH5892.

Among the HebronitesH2276 was JerijahH3404 the chiefH7218, even among the HebronitesH2276, according to the generationsH8435 of his fathersH1. In the fortiethH705 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of DavidH1732 they were soughtH1875 for, and there were foundH4672 among them mighty menH1368 of valourH2428 at JazerH3270 of GileadH1568.
Their brethrenH251 also the LevitesH3881 were appointedH5414 unto all manner of serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH4908 of the houseH1004 of GodH430.
The overseerH6496 also of the LevitesH3881 at JerusalemH3389 was UzziH5813 the sonH1121 of BaniH1137, the sonH1121 of HashabiahH2811, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983, the sonH1121 of MichaH4316. Of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623, the singersH7891 were overH5048 the businessH4399 of the houseH1004 of GodH430.
JudgesH8199 and officersH7860 shalt thou makeH5414 thee in all thy gatesH8179, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, throughout thy tribesH7626: and they shall judgeH8199 the peopleH5971 with justH6664 judgmentH4941.
And certain of them had the charge ofH5921 the ministeringH5656 vesselsH3627, that they should bring them inH935 and outH3318 by taleH4557+H4557. {bring…: Heb. bring them in by tale, and carry them out by tale}
Some of them also were appointedH4487 to oversee the vesselsH3627, and all the instrumentsH3627 of the sanctuaryH6944, and the fine flourH5560, and the wineH3196, and the oilH8081, and the frankincenseH3828, and the spicesH1314. {instruments: or, vessels}
And some of the sonsH1121 of the priestsH3548 madeH7543 the ointmentH4842 of the spicesH1314.

And other of their brethrenH251, of the sonsH1121 of the KohathitesH6956, were over the shewbreadH3899+H4635, to prepareH3559 it every sabbathH7676. {shewbread: Heb. bread of ordering}
Take heedG4337 thereforeG3767 unto yourselvesG1438, andG2532 to allG3956 the flockG4168, overG1722 the whichG3739 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 hath madeG5087 youG5209 overseersG1985, to feedG4165 the churchG1577 of GodG2316, whichG3739 he hath purchasedG4046 withG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129.
If there arise a matterH1697 too hardH6381 for thee in judgmentH4941, between bloodH1818 and bloodH1818, between pleaH1779 and pleaH1779, and between strokeH5061 and strokeH5061, being mattersH1697 of controversyH7379 within thy gatesH8179: then shalt thou ariseH6965, and get thee upH5927 into the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977;
And thou shalt comeH935 unto the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, and unto the judgeH8199 that shall be in those daysH3117, and enquireH1875; and they shall shewH5046 thee the sentenceH1697 of judgmentH4941:
And thou shalt doH6213 according to the sentenceH6310+H1697, which they of that placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977 shall shewH5046 thee; and thou shalt observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all that they informH3384 thee:
And of the LevitesH3881, AhijahH281 was over the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and over the treasuresH214 of the dedicated thingsH6944. {dedicated…: Heb. holy things}
As concerning the sonsH1121 of LaadanH3936; the sonsH1121 of the GershoniteH1649 LaadanH3936, chiefH7218 fathersH1, even of LaadanH3936 the GershoniteH1649, were JehieliH3172. {Laadan: or, Libni, Chap.16.17.} {Jehieli: or, Jehiel, Chap.23.8.}
The sonsH1121 of JehieliH3172; ZethamH2241, and JoelH3100 his brotherH251, which were over the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
