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 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 was over the CherethitesH3774 and the PelethitesH6432; and the sonsH1121 of DavidH1732 were chiefH7223 aboutH3027 the kingH4428. {about…: Heb. at the hand of the king}
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}
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}
And PethahiahH6611 the sonH1121 of MeshezabeelH4898, of the childrenH1121 of ZerahH2226 the sonH1121 of JudahH3063, was at the king'sH4428 handH3027 in all mattersH1697 concerning the peopleH5971. {Zerah: or, Zarah}
Also for the coursesH4256 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and for all the workH4399 of the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and for all the vesselsH3627 of serviceH5656 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
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}
BringH7126 the tribeH4294 of LeviH3878 nearH7126, and presentH5975 them beforeH6440 AaronH175 the priestH3548, that they may ministerH8334 unto him.
And they shall keepH8104 his chargeH4931, and the chargeH4931 of the whole congregationH5712 beforeH6440 the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH4908.
And they shall keepH8104 all the instrumentsH3627 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and the chargeH4931 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH4908.
And thou shalt giveH5414 the LevitesH3881 unto AaronH175 and to his sonsH1121: they are wholly givenH5414 unto him out of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And saidH559 unto them, HearH8085 me, ye LevitesH3881, sanctifyH6942 now yourselves, and sanctifyH6942 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1, and carry forthH3318 the filthinessH5079 out of the holyH6944 place.
And against the wallH7023 of the houseH1004 he builtH1129 chambersH3326+H3326 round aboutH5439, against the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004 round aboutH5439, both of the templeH1964 and of the oracleH1687: and he madeH6213 chambersH6763 round aboutH5439: {against the wall: or, upon, or, joining to the wall} {built chambers: Heb. built floors} {made chambers: Heb. made ribs}
Then they wentH935 inH6441 to HezekiahH2396 the kingH4428, and saidH559, We have cleansedH2891 all the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the altarH4196 of burnt offeringH5930, with all the vesselsH3627 thereof, and the shewbreadH4635 tableH7979, with all the vesselsH3627 thereof.
Then HezekiahH3169 commandedH559 to prepareH3559 chambersH3957 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; and they preparedH3559 them, {chambers: or, storehouses}
Moreover all the vesselsH3627, which kingH4428 AhazH271 in his reignH4438 did cast awayH2186 in his transgressionH4604, have we preparedH3559 and sanctifiedH6942, and, behold, they are beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068.
WatchH8245 ye, and keepH8104 them, until ye weighH8254 them beforeH6440 the chiefH8269 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and chiefH8269 of the fathersH1 of IsraelH3478, at JerusalemH3389, in the chambersH3957 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And saidH559 unto the LevitesH3881 that taughtH995+H4000 all IsraelH3478, which were holyH6918 unto the LORDH3068, PutH5414 the holyH6944 arkH727 in the houseH1004 which SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 did buildH1129; it shall not be a burdenH4853 upon your shouldersH3802: serveH5647 now the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478,
And prepareH3559+H3559 yourselves by the housesH1004 of your fathersH1, after your coursesH4256, according to the writingH3791 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and according to the writingH4385 of SolomonH8010 his sonH1121.
And stand inH5975 the holyH6944 place according to the divisionsH6391 of the familiesH1004 of the fathersH1 of your brethrenH251 the peopleH1121+H5971, and after the divisionH2515 of the familiesH1+H1004 of the LevitesH3881. {the families of the fathers: Heb. the house of the fathers} {the people: Heb. the sons of the people}
So killH7819 the passoverH6453, and sanctifyH6942 yourselves, and prepareH3559 your brethrenH251, that they may doH6213 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
And beforeH6440 this, EliashibH475 the priestH3548, having the oversightH5414 of the chamberH3957 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430, was alliedH7138 unto TobiahH2900: {having…: Heb. being set over}
And they killedH7819 the passoverH6453, and the priestsH3548 sprinkledH2236 the blood from their handsH3027, and the LevitesH3881 flayedH6584 them.
And they removedH5493 the burnt offeringsH5930, that they might giveH5414 according to the divisionsH4653 of the familiesH1+H1004 of the peopleH1121+H5971, to offerH7126 unto the LORDH3068, as it is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of MosesH4872. And so did they with the oxenH1241.
And they roastedH1310 the passoverH6453 with fireH784 according to the ordinanceH4941: but the other holyH6944 offerings sodH1310 they in potsH5518, and in caldronsH1731, and in pansH6745, and divided them speedilyH7323 among all the peopleH1121+H5971. {divided…: Heb. made them run}
And afterwardH310 they made readyH3559 for themselves, and for the priestsH3548: because the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 were busied in offeringH5927 of burnt offeringsH5930 and the fatH2459 until nightH3915; therefore the LevitesH3881 preparedH3559 for themselves, and for the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175.
And he had preparedH6213 for him a greatH1419 chamberH3957, where aforetimeH6440 they laidH5414 the meat offeringsH4503, the frankincenseH3828, and the vesselsH3627, and the tithesH4643 of the cornH1715, the new wineH8492, and the oilH3323, which was commandedH4687 to be given to the LevitesH3881, and the singersH7891, and the portersH7778; and the offeringsH8641 of the priestsH3548. {which…: Heb. the commandment of the Levites}
Then I commandedH559, and they cleansedH2891 the chambersH3957: and thither brought I againH7725 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, with the meat offeringH4503 and the frankincenseH3828.
And I broughtH935 them into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, into the chamberH3957 of the sonsH1121 of HananH2605, the sonH1121 of IgdaliahH3012, a manH376 of GodH430, which was byH681 the chamberH3957 of the princesH8269, which was aboveH4605 the chamberH3957 of MaaseiahH4641 the sonH1121 of ShallumH7967, the keeperH8104 of the doorH5592: {door: Heb. threshold, or, vessel}
And the sideH6763 chambersH6763 were threeH7969, one over anotherH6763, and thirtyH7970 in orderH6471; and they enteredH935 into the wallH7023 which was of the houseH1004 for the side chambersH6763 round aboutH5439, that they might have holdH270, but they had not holdH270 in the wallH7023 of the houseH1004. {one…: Heb. side chamber over side chamber} {thirty…: or, three and thirty times, or, foot} {have hold: Heb. be holden}
And there was an enlargingH7337, and a winding aboutH5437 still upwardH4605 to the side chambersH6763: for the winding aboutH4141 of the houseH1004 went still upwardH4605 round aboutH5439 the houseH1004: therefore the breadthH7341 of the houseH1004 was still upwardH4605, and so increasedH5927 from the lowestH8481 chamber to the highestH5945 by the midstH8484. {there…: Heb. it was made broader, and went round}
I sawH7200 also the heightH1363 of the houseH1004 round aboutH5439: the foundationsH4328 of the side chambersH6763 were a fullH4393 reedH7070 of sixH8337 greatH679 cubitsH520.
The thicknessH7341 of the wallH7023, which was for the side chamberH6763 withoutH2351, was fiveH2568 cubitsH520: and that which was leftH3240 was the placeH1004 of the side chambersH6763 that were withinH1004.
And between the chambersH3957 was the widenessH7341 of twentyH6242 cubitsH520 round aboutH5439 the houseH1004 on every sideH5439.
And the doorsH6607 of the side chambersH6763 were toward the place that was leftH3240, oneH259 doorH6607 towardH1870 the northH6828, and anotherH259 doorH6607 toward the southH1864: and the breadthH7341 of the placeH4725 that was leftH3240 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520 round aboutH5439.
And there were narrowH331 windowsH2474 and palm treesH8561 on the one side and on the other side, on the sidesH3802 of the porchH197, and upon the side chambersH6763 of the houseH1004, and thick planksH5646.
Over against the twentyH6242 cubits which were for the innerH6442 courtH2691, and over against the pavementH7531 which was for the utterH2435 courtH2691, was galleryH862 againstH6440 galleryH862 in threeH7992 stories.
Then saidH559 he unto me, The northH6828 chambersH3957 and the southH1864 chambersH3957, which are beforeH6440 the separate placeH1508, they be holyH6944 chambersH3957, where the priestsH3548 that approachH7138 unto the LORDH3068 shall eatH398 the mostH6944 holy thingsH6944: there shall they layH3240 the mostH6944 holy thingsH6944, and the meat offeringH4503, and the sin offeringH2403, and the trespass offeringH817; for the placeH4725 is holyH6918.
