And he appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise, and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.

Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.Of these, twenty and four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of Jehovah; and six thousand were officers and judges;and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Jehovah with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.And David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three.The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ houses of Ladan.And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in one reckoning.The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons, for ever, to burn incense before Jehovah, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, for ever.But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.And the sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them to wife.The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.These were the sons of Levi after their fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’ houses of those of them that were counted, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the house of Jehovah, from twenty years old and upward.For David said, Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath given rest unto his people; and he dwelleth in Jerusalem for ever:and also the Levites shall no more have need to carry the tabernacle and all the vessels of it for the service thereof.

And the courses of the sons of Aaron were these. The sons of Aaron: Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

Of the priests: Jedaiah the son of Joiarib, Jachin,Seraiah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God,and their brethren that did the work of the house, eight hundred twenty and two; and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah,and his brethren, chiefs of fathers’ houses, two hundred forty and two; and Amashsai the son of Azarel, the son of Ahzai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer,and their brethren, mighty men of valor, a hundred twenty and eight; and their overseer was Zabdiel, the son of Haggedolim.And of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni;and Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chiefs of the Levites, who had the oversight of the outward business of the house of God;and Mattaniah the son of Mica, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, who was the chief to begin the thanksgiving in prayer, and Bakbukiah, the second among his brethren; and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred fourscore and four.Moreover the porters, Akkub, Talmon, and their brethren, that kept watch at the gates, were a hundred seventy and two.And the residue of Israel, of the priests, the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance.

And of the priests: Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, Jachin,and Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God;and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer;and their brethren, heads of their fathers’ houses, a thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.And of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;and Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Mica, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph,and Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites.And the porters: Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren( Shallum was the chief),who hitherto waited in the king’s gate eastward: they were the porters for the camp of the children of Levi.And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of his father’s house, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent: and their fathers had been over the camp of Jehovah, keepers of the entry.And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them in time past, and Jehovah was with him.Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tent of meeting.All these that were chosen to be porters in the thresholds were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their office of trust.So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of Jehovah, even the house of the tent, by wards.On the four sides were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.And their brethren, in their villages, were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them:for the four chief porters, who were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God.And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge thereof was upon them; and to them pertained the opening thereof morning by morning.And certain of them had charge of the vessels of service; for by count were these brought in and by count were these taken out.Some of them also were appointed over the furniture, and over all the vessels of the sanctuary, and over the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.And some of the sons of the priests prepared the confection of the spices.And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the first- born of Shallum the Korahite, had the office of trust over the things that were baked in pans.And some of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the showbread, to prepare it every sabbath.And these are the singers, heads of fathers’ houses of the Levites, who dwelt in the chambers and were free from other service; for they were employed in their work day and night.These were heads of fathers’ houses of the Levites, throughout their generations, chief men: these dwelt at Jerusalem.
