Verses 1–10

1 And David is old, and satisfied with days, and causeth his son Solomon to reign over Israel,

2 and gathereth all the heads of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites;

3 and the Levites are numbered from a son of thirty years and upward, and their number, by their polls, is of mighty men thirty and eight thousand.

4 Of these to preside over the work of the house of Jehovah are twenty and four thousand, and officers and judges six thousand,

5 and four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand giving praise to Jehovah, `with instruments that I made for praising,' saith David.

6 And David distributeth them into courses: Of the sons of Levi: of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

7 Of the Gershonite: Laadan and Shimei.

8 Sons of Laadan: the head is Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.

9 Sons of Shimei are Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three; these are heads of the fathers of Laadan.

10 And sons of Shimei are Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah; these are sons of Shimei, four.
