1 Chronicles 23:1-19
1And DavidH1732 was old and full of daysH3117; and he made SolomonH8010 his sonH1121 kingH4427 over IsraelH3478.
2And he gatheredH622 together all the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478, with the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881.
3And the LevitesH3881 wereH1961 numbered from thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 old and upwardH4605; and their numberH4557, by their polls, manH1397 by manH1397, wasH1961 thirty-eight thousandH505.
4Of these, twenty-four thousandH505 were to preside over the workH4399 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah; and sixH8337 thousandH505 were officersH7860 and judgesH8199;
5and fourH702 thousandH505 were doorkeepers; and fourH702 thousandH505 praisedH1984 Jehovah with the instrumentsH3627 which I madeH6213, [said David,] to praiseH1984 [therewith].
6And DavidH1732 dividedH2505 them into courses according to the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878: Gershon, KohathH6955, and MerariH4847.
7Of the Gershonites: Laadan and ShimeiH8096.
8The sonsH1121 of Laadan: the headH7218 was JehielH3171, and ZethamH2241, and JoelH3100, threeH7969.
9The sonsH1121 of ShimeiH8096: Shelomith, and Haziel, and HaranH2039, threeH7969. These were the chiefH7218 fathersH1 of Laadan.

11And JahathH3189 wasH1961 the headH7218, and Ziza the secondH8145; and JeushH3266 and BeriahH1283 had not manyH7235 sonsH1121: as father's houseH1004, therefore, they wereH1961 reckoned as oneH259.
