Then Jehoiada placed the oversight of the temple of the Lord in the hands of the Levitical priests, to whom David had made assignments in the temple, to present the burnt offerings of the Lord as written in the Law of Moses, with rejoicing and singing, as David had ordered.

He wanted them to do it in keeping with what was written in the Law of Moses. David wanted them to sing and be full of joy.

And Jehoiada posted watchmen for the house of the Lord under the direction of the Levitical priests and the Levites whom David had organized to be in charge of the house of the Lord, to offer burnt offerings to the Lord, as it is written in the Law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order of David.

Jehoiada now put the priests and Levites in charge of the Temple of the Lord, following all the directions given by David. He also commanded them to present burnt offerings to the Lord, as prescribed by the Law of Moses, and to sing and rejoice as David had instructed.

Then Jehoiada put the oversight of the LORD’s temple into the hands of the Levitical priests, whom David had appointed over the LORD’s temple, to offer burnt offerings to the LORD as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and song ordained by David.

Moreover, Jehoiada placed the offices of the house of the Lord under the authority of the Levitical priests, whom David had assigned over the house of the Lord, to offer the burnt offerings of the Lord, as it is written in the Law of Moses— with rejoicing and singing according to the order of David.

Then they brought up the ark, the tabernacle of meeting, and all the holy furnishings that were in the tabernacle. The priests and the Levites brought them up.

And he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, of Gad the king’s seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for thus was the commandment of the Lord by his prophets.

Moreover David and the captains of the army separated for the service some of the sons of Asaph, of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, stringed instruments, and cymbals. And the number of the skilled men performing their service was:Of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah; the sons of Asaph were under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied according to the order of the king.Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp to give thanks and to praise the Lord.Of Heman, the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth.All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to exalt his horn.

Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the authority of the king.So the number of them, with their brethren who were instructed in the songs of the Lord, all who were skillful, was two hundred and eighty-eight.And they cast lots for their duty, the small as well as the great, the teacher with the student.Now the first lot for Asaph came out for Joseph; the second for Gedaliah, him with his brethren and sons, twelve;the third for Zaccur, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the fourth for Jizri, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the fifth for Nethaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the sixth for Bukkiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the seventh for Jesharelah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the eighth for Jeshaiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the ninth for Mattaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the tenth for Shimei, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the eleventh for Azarel, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the twelfth for Hashabiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the thirteenth for Shubael, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the fourteenth for Mattithiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the fifteenth for Jeremoth, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the sixteenth for Hananiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the seventeenth for Joshbekashah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the eighteenth for Hanani, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the nineteenth for Mallothi, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the twentieth for Eliathah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the twenty-first for Hothir, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the twenty-second for Giddalti, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the twenty-third for Mahazioth, his sons and his brethren, twelve;the twenty-fourth for Romamti-Ezer, his sons and his brethren, twelve.

because their duty was to help the sons of Aaron in the service of the house of the Lord, in the courts and in the chambers, in the purifying of all holy things and the work of the service of the house of God,both with the showbread and the fine flour for the grain offering, with the unleavened cakes and what is baked in the pan, with what is mixed and with all kinds of measures and sizes;to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and likewise at evening;and at every presentation of a burnt offering to the Lord on the Sabbaths and on the New Moons and on the set feasts, by number according to the ordinance governing them, regularly before the Lord;

Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,“ Command the children of Israel, and say to them,‘ My offering, My food for My offerings made by fire as a sweet aroma to Me, you shall be careful to offer to Me at their appointed time.’“ And you shall say to them,‘ This is the offering made by fire which you shall offer to the Lord: two male lambs in their first year without blemish, day by day, as a regular burnt offering.The one lamb you shall offer in the morning, the other lamb you shall offer in the evening,and one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering mixed with one-fourth of a hin of pressed oil.It is a regular burnt offering which was ordained at Mount Sinai for a sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord.And its drink offering shall be one-fourth of a hin for each lamb; in a holy place you shall pour out the drink to the Lord as an offering.The other lamb you shall offer in the evening; as the morning grain offering and its drink offering, you shall offer it as an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.‘ And on the Sabbath day two lambs in their first year, without blemish, and two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with oil, with its drink offering—this is the burnt offering for every Sabbath, besides the regular burnt offering with its drink offering.‘ At the beginnings of your months you shall present a burnt offering to the Lord: two young bulls, one ram, and seven lambs in their first year, without blemish;three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with oil, for each bull; two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with oil, for the one ram;and one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour, mixed with oil, as a grain offering for each lamb, as a burnt offering of sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord.Their drink offering shall be half a hin of wine for a bull, one-third of a hin for a ram, and one-fourth of a hin for a lamb; this is the burnt offering for each month throughout the months of the year.Also one kid of the goats as a sin offering to the Lord shall be offered, besides the regular burnt offering and its drink offering.‘ On the fourteenth day of the first month is the Passover of the Lord.And on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast; unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days.On the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work.And you shall present an offering made by fire as a burnt offering to the Lord: two young bulls, one ram, and seven lambs in their first year. Be sure they are without blemish.Their grain offering shall be of fine flour mixed with oil: three-tenths of an ephah you shall offer for a bull, and two-tenths for a ram;you shall offer one-tenth of an ephah for each of the seven lambs;also one goat as a sin offering, to make atonement for you.You shall offer these besides the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a regular burnt offering.In this manner you shall offer the food of the offering made by fire daily for seven days, as a sweet aroma to the Lord; it shall be offered besides the regular burnt offering and its drink offering.And on the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work.‘ Also on the day of the firstfruits, when you bring a new grain offering to the Lord at your Feast of Weeks, you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work.You shall present a burnt offering as a sweet aroma to the Lord: two young bulls, one ram, and seven lambs in their first year,with their grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil: three-tenths of an ephah for each bull, two-tenths for the one ram,and one-tenth for each of the seven lambs;also one kid of the goats, to make atonement for you.Be sure they are without blemish. You shall present them with their drink offerings, besides the regular burnt offering with its grain offering.

So when David was old and full of days, he made his son Solomon king over Israel.And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and above; and the number of individual males was thirty-eight thousand.Of these, twenty-four thousand were to look after the work of the house of the Lord, six thousand were officers and judges,four thousand were gatekeepers, and four thousand praised the Lord with musical instruments,“ which I made,” said David,“ for giving praise.”Also David separated them into divisions among the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.Of the Gershonites: Laadan and Shimei.The sons of Laadan: the first Jehiel, then Zetham and Joel— three in all.The sons of Shimei: Shelomith, Haziel, and Haran— three in all. These were the heads of the fathers’ houses of Laadan.And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the four sons of Shimei.Jahath was the first and Zizah the second. But Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons; therefore they were assigned as one father’s house.The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel— four in all.The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was set apart, he and his sons forever, that he should sanctify the most holy things, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister to Him, and to give the blessing in His name forever.Now the sons of Moses the man of God were reckoned to the tribe of Levi.The sons of Moses were Gershon and Eliezer.Of the sons of Gershon, Shebuel was the first.Of the descendants of Eliezer, Rehabiah was the first. And Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.Of the sons of Izhar, Shelomith was the first.Of the sons of Hebron, Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.Of the sons of Uzziel, Michah was the first and Jesshiah the second.The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli were Eleazar and Kish.And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but only daughters; and their brethren, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.The sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth— three in all.These were the sons of Levi by their fathers’ houses— the heads of the fathers’ houses as they were counted individually by the number of their names, who did the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from the age of twenty years and above.
