So when David¹⁷³² was old²²⁰⁴ and full⁷⁶⁴⁶ of days,³¹¹⁷ he made Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ his son¹¹²¹ king⁴⁴²⁷ over Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

And he gathered⁶²² together all the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ with the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites.³⁸⁸¹

Now the Levites³⁸⁸¹ were numbered⁵⁶⁰⁸ from the age¹¹²¹ of thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ years⁸¹⁴¹ and upward:⁴⁶⁰⁵ and their number⁴⁵⁵⁷ by their polls,¹⁵³⁸ man¹³⁹⁷ by man,¹³⁹⁷ was thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and eight⁸⁰⁸³ thousand.⁵⁰⁵

Of which,⁴²⁸ twenty⁶²⁴² and four⁷⁰² thousand⁵⁰⁵ were to set forward⁵³²⁹ the work⁴³⁹⁹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁸ and six⁸³³⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ were officers⁷⁸⁶⁰ and judges:⁸¹⁹⁹

Moreover four⁷⁰² thousand⁵⁰⁵ were porters;⁷⁷⁷⁸ and four⁷⁰² thousand⁵⁰⁵ praised¹⁹⁸⁴ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ with the instruments³⁶²⁷ which I made,⁶²¹³ said David, to praise¹⁹⁸⁴ therewith.

And David¹⁷³² divided²⁵⁰⁵ them into courses⁴²⁵⁶ among the sons¹¹²¹ of Levi,³⁸⁷⁸ namely, Gershon,¹⁶⁴⁸ Kohath,⁶⁹⁵⁵ and Merari.⁴⁸⁴⁷

Of the Gershonites¹⁶⁴⁹ were, Laadan,³⁹³⁶ and Shimei.⁸⁰⁹⁶

The sons¹¹²¹ of Laadan;³⁹³⁶ the chief⁷²¹⁸ was Jehiel,³¹⁷¹ and Zetham,²²⁴¹ and Joel,³¹⁰⁰ three.⁷⁹⁶⁹

The sons¹¹²¹ of Shimei;⁸⁰⁹⁶ Shelomith,⁸⁰¹⁹ and Haziel,²³⁸¹ and Haran,²⁰³⁹ three.⁷⁹⁶⁹ These were the chief⁷²¹⁸ of the fathers¹ of Laadan.³⁹³⁶

And the sons¹¹²¹ of Shimei⁸⁰⁹⁶ were, Jahath,³¹⁸⁹ Zina,²¹²⁶ and Jeush,³²⁶⁶ and Beriah.¹²⁸³ These four⁷⁰² were the sons¹¹²¹ of Shimei.⁸⁰⁹⁶

And Jahath³¹⁸⁹ was the chief,⁷²¹⁸ and Zizah²¹²⁵ the second:⁸¹⁴⁵ but Jeush³²⁶⁶ and Beriah¹²⁸³ had not many⁷²³⁵ sons;¹¹²¹ therefore they were in one²⁵⁹ reckoning,⁶⁴⁸⁶ according to their father's¹ house.¹⁰⁰⁴

The sons¹¹²¹ of Kohath;⁶⁹⁵⁵ Amram,⁶⁰¹⁹ Izhar,³³²⁴ Hebron,²²⁷⁵ and Uzziel,⁵⁸¹⁶ four.⁷⁰²

The sons¹¹²¹ of Amram;⁶⁰¹⁹ Aaron¹⁷⁵ and Moses:⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron¹⁷⁵ was separated,⁹¹⁴ that he should sanctify⁶⁹⁴² the most⁶⁹⁴⁴ holy things,⁶⁹⁴⁴ he and his sons¹¹²¹ for⁵⁷⁰⁴ ever,⁵⁷⁶⁹ to burn incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ to minister⁸³³⁴ unto him, and to bless¹²⁸⁸ in his name⁸⁰³⁴ for⁵⁷⁰⁴ ever.⁵⁷⁶⁹

Now concerning Moses⁴⁸⁷² the man³⁷⁶ of Elohim,⁴³⁰ his sons¹¹²¹ were named⁷¹²¹ of the tribe⁷⁶²⁶ of Levi.³⁸⁷⁸

The sons¹¹²¹ of Moses⁴⁸⁷² were, Gershom,¹⁶⁴⁷ and Eliezer.⁴⁶¹

Of the sons¹¹²¹ of Gershom,¹⁶⁴⁷ Shebuel⁷⁶¹⁹ was the chief.⁷²¹⁸

And the sons¹¹²¹ of Eliezer⁴⁶¹ were, Rehabiah⁷³⁴⁵ the chief.⁷²¹⁸ And Eliezer⁴⁶¹ had none other³¹² sons;¹¹²¹ but the sons¹¹²¹ of Rehabiah⁷³⁴⁵ were very⁴⁶⁰⁵ many.⁷²³⁵

Of the sons¹¹²¹ of Izhar;³³²⁴ Shelomith⁸⁰¹⁹ the chief.⁷²¹⁸

Of the sons¹¹²¹ of Hebron;²²⁷⁵ Jeriah³⁴⁰⁴ the first,⁷²¹⁸ Amariah⁵⁶⁸ the second,⁸¹⁴⁵ Jahaziel³¹⁶⁶ the third,⁷⁹⁹² and Jekameam³³⁶⁰ the fourth.⁷²⁴³

Of the sons¹¹²¹ of Uzziel;⁵⁸¹⁶ Michah⁴³¹⁸ the first,⁷²¹⁸ and Jesiah³⁴⁴⁹ the second.⁸¹⁴⁵

The sons¹¹²¹ of Merari;⁴⁸⁴⁷ Mahli,⁴²⁴⁹ and Mushi.⁴¹⁸⁷ The sons¹¹²¹ of Mahli;⁴²⁴⁹ Eleazar,⁴⁹⁹ and Kish.⁷⁰²⁷

And Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ died,⁴¹⁹¹ and had no sons,¹¹²¹ but daughters:¹³²³ and their brethren²⁵¹ the sons¹¹²¹ of Kish⁷⁰²⁷ took⁵³⁷⁵ them.

The sons¹¹²¹ of Mushi;⁴¹⁸⁷ Mahli,⁴²⁴⁹ and Eder,⁵⁷⁴⁰ and Jeremoth,³⁴⁰⁶ three.⁷⁹⁶⁹

These were the sons¹¹²¹ of Levi³⁸⁷⁸ after the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers;¹ even the chief⁷²¹⁸ of the fathers,¹ as they were counted⁶⁴⁸⁵ by number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of names⁸⁰³⁴ by their polls,¹⁵³⁸ that did⁶²¹³ the work⁴³⁹⁹ for the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ from the age¹¹²¹ of twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ and upward.⁴⁶⁰⁵

For David¹⁷³² said,⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ Elohim⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ hath given rest⁵¹¹⁷ unto his people,⁵⁹⁷¹ that they may dwell⁷⁹³¹ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ for ever:⁵⁷⁶⁹

And also unto the Levites;³⁸⁸¹ they shall no more carry⁵³⁷⁵ the tabernacle,⁴⁹⁰⁸ nor any vessels³⁶²⁷ of it for the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ thereof.

For by the last³¹⁴ words¹⁶⁹⁷ of David¹⁷³² the Levites¹¹²¹ were numbered⁴⁵⁵⁷ from twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ and above:⁴⁶⁰⁵

Because their office⁴⁶¹² was to wait on³⁰²⁷ the sons¹¹²¹ of Aaron¹⁷⁵ for the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ in the courts,²⁶⁹¹ and in the chambers,³⁹⁵⁷ and in the purifying²⁸⁹³ of all holy things,⁶⁹⁴⁴ and the work⁴⁶³⁹ of the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Elohim;⁴³⁰

Both for the shewbread,³⁸⁹⁹ and for the fine flour⁵⁵⁶⁰ for meat offering,⁴⁵⁰³ and for the unleavened⁴⁶⁸² cakes,⁷⁵⁵⁰ and for that which is baked in the pan,⁴²²⁷ and for that which is fried,⁷²⁴⁶ and for all manner of measure⁴⁸⁸⁴ and size;⁴⁰⁶⁰

And to stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ every morning¹²⁴² to thank³⁰³⁴ and praise¹⁹⁸⁴ Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ and likewise at even;⁶¹⁵³

And to offer⁵⁹²⁷ all burnt sacrifices⁵⁹³⁰ unto Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ in the sabbaths,⁷⁶⁷⁶ in the new moons,²³²⁰ and on the set feasts,⁴¹⁵⁰ by number,⁴⁵⁵⁷ according to the order⁴⁹⁴¹ commanded unto them, continually⁸⁵⁴⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Yahweh:³⁰⁶⁸

And that they should keep⁸¹⁰⁴ the charge⁴⁹³¹ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ and the charge⁴⁹³¹ of the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ place, and the charge⁴⁹³¹ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Aaron¹⁷⁵ their brethren,²⁵¹ in the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸
