1NowH3117 DavidH1732 was oldH1121 and fullH3117 of daysH3117; and he made SolomonH8010 his sonH1121 kingH4427 over IsraelH3478. 2And he gatheredH622 togetherH622 allH3605 the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478, with the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881. 3And the LevitesH3881 were numberedH5608 from thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605: and their numberH4557 by their polls, manH1397 by manH1397, was thirtyH7970 and eightH8083 thousandH505. 4Of theseH428, twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505 were to overseeH5329 the workH4399 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; and sixH8337 thousandH505 were officersH7860 and judgesH8199: 5and fourH702 thousandH505 were doorkeepers; and fourH702 thousandH505 praisedH1984 the LORDH3068 with the instrumentsH3627 whichH834 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 GershonitesH1649; LadanH3936 and ShimeiH8096. 8The sonsH1121 of LadanH3936; JehielH3171 the chiefH7218, and ZethamH2241, and JoelH3100, threeH7969. 9The sonsH1121 of ShimeiH8096; ShelomothH8013, and HazielH2381, and HaranH2039, threeH7969.
