David Organizes the Levites

23:1 When David was old and approaching the end of his life, he made his son Solomon king over Israel. 23:2 David assembled all the leaders of Israel, along with the priests and the Levites. 23:3 The Levites who were thirty years old and up were counted; there were 38,000 men. 23:4 David said, “Of these, 24,000 are to direct the work of the Lord’s temple; 6,000 are to be officials and judges; 23:5 4,000 are to be gatekeepers; and 4,000 are to praise the Lord with the instruments I supplied for worship.” 23:6 David divided them into groups corresponding to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 23:7 The Gershonites included Ladan and Shimei. 23:8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the oldest, Zetham, and Joel– three in all. 23:9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran– three in all. These were the leaders of the family of Ladan.
