23:1

So when David
<01732>

was old
<02204> (8804)

and full
<07646> (8804)

of days
<03117>_,

he made Solomon
<08010>

his son
<01121>

king
<04427> (8686)

over Israel
<03478>_.

23:2

And he gathered together
<0622> (8799)

all the princes
<08269>

of Israel
<03478>_,

with the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>_.

23:3

Now the Levites
<03881>

were numbered
<05608> (8735)

from the age
<01121>

of thirty
<07970>

years
<08141>

and upward
<04605>_:

and their number
<04557>

by their polls
<01538>_,

man by man
<01397>_,

was thirty
<07970>

and eight
<08083>

thousand
<0505>_.

23:4

Of which
<0428>_,

twenty
<06242>

and four
<0702>

thousand
<0505>

[were] to set forward
<05329> (8763)

the work
<04399>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

and six
<08337>

thousand
<0505>

[were] officers
<07860> (8802)

and judges
<08199> (8802)_:

{set...: or, oversee}

23:5

Moreover four
<0702>

thousand
<0505>

[were] porters
<07778>_;

and four
<0702>

thousand
<0505>

praised
<01984> (8764)

the LORD
<03068>

with the instruments
<03627>

which I made
<06213> (8804)_,

[said David], to praise
<01984> (8763)

[therewith].

23:6

And David
<01732>

divided
<02505> (8735)

them into courses
<04256>

among the sons
<01121>

of Levi
<03878>_,

[namely], Gershon
<01648>_,

Kohath
<06955>_,

and Merari
<04847>_.

{courses: Heb. divisions}

23:7

Of the Gershonites
<01649>

<03936>_,

and Shimei
<08096>_.

{Laadan: or, Libni}

23:8

<03100>_,

three
<07969>_.

but Jeush
<03266>

and Beriah
<01283>

had not many
<07235> (8689)

sons
<01121>_;

therefore they were in one
<0259>

23:13

The sons
<01121>

<06019>_;

Aaron
<0175>

and Moses

was separated
<0914> (8735)_,

that he should sanctify
<06942> (8687)

the most
<06944>

holy things
<06944>_,

he and his sons
<01121>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_,

to burn incense
<06999> (8687)

before

the LORD
<03068>_,

to minister

as they were counted
<06485> (8803)

by number
<04557>

of names

The LORD

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

hath given rest
<05117> (8689)

unto his people
<05971>_,

that they may dwell
<07931> (8799)

in Jerusalem
<03389>

for ever
<05769>_:

{that...: or, and he dwelleth in Jerusalem, etc}

23:26

And also unto the Levites
