1 Chronicles 23:1-19

11Now when David 2reached old age, 3he made his son Solomon king over Israel. 2And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel with the priests and the Levites. 34Now the Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward, and 5their number by 6head count of men was thirty-eight thousand. 4Of these, twenty-four thousand were 7to oversee the work of the house of the Lord; and six thousand were 8officers and judges, 5and four thousand were gatekeepers, and 9four thousand were praising the Lord with the instruments which 10David made for giving praise. 6David divided them into divisions 11according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

7Of the Gershonites there were 12Ladan and Shimei. 8The sons of Ladan were Jehiel the first, and Zetham and Joel, three. 9The sons of Shimei were Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan. 10The sons of Shimei were Jahath, 13Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. 11Jahath was the first and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became a father’s household, one group for duty.

12The sons of Kohath were four in number: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 1314The sons of Amram were Aaron and Moses. And 15Aaron was set apart to sanctify him as most holy, he and his sons forever, 16to burn incense before the Lord, to serve Him and bless in His name forever. 14But as for 17Moses, the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi. 15The sons of Moses were Gershom and Eliezer. 16The 18son of Gershom was 19Shebuel the chief. 17The 20son of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many. 18The 21son of Izhar was 22Shelomith the chief. 19The sons of Hebron were Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
