- 1. So when Dauid was old and full of dayes, he made Solomon his sonne king ouer Israel.
- 2. And he gathered together all the Princes of Israel, with the Priests and the Leuites.
- 3. Now the Leuites were numbred from the age of thirtie yeeres and vpward: and their number, by their polles, man by man, was thirtie and eight thousand.
- 4. Of which, twentie and foure thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the Lord: and sixe thousand were Officers and Iudges.
- 5. Moreouer, foure thousand were porters, and foure thousand praised the Lord with the instruments which I made (said Dauid) to praise therewith.
- 6. And Dauid diuided them into courses among the sonnes of Leui, namely Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
- 7. Of the Gershonites were Laadan, and Shimei.
- 8. The sonnes of Laadan, the chiefe was Iehiel, and Zetham, and Ioel, three.
- 9. The sonnes of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chiefe of the fathers of Laadan.
- 10. And the sonnes of Shimei were: Iahath, Zina, and Ieush, and Beriah. These foure were the sonnes of Shimei.
- 11. And Iahath was the chiefe, and Ziza the second: but Ieush and Beriah had not many sonnes: therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their fathers house.
- 12. The sonnes of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, foure.
- 13. The sonnes of Amram: Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctifie the most holy things, he and his sonnes for euer, to burne incense before the Lord, to minister vnto him, and to blesse in his Name for euer.
- 14. Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sonnes were named of the tribe of Leui.
- 15. The sonnes of Moses were: Gershom and Eliezer.
- 16. Of the sonnes of Gershom Shebuel was the chiefe.
- 17. And the sonnes of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chiefe. And Eliezer had none other sonnes: but the sonnes of Rehabiah were very many.
- 18. Of the sonnes of Izhar, Shelomith the chiefe.
- 19. Of the sonnes of Hebron, Ieriah the first, Amariah the second, Iahaziel the third, and Iekamiam the fourth.
- 20. Of the sonnes of Uzziel: Michah the first, and Iesiah the second.
- 21. The sonnes of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sonnes of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
- 22. And Eleazar died, and had no sonnes but daughters: and their brethren the sonnes of Kish tooke them.
- 23. The sonnes of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Ierimoth, three.
- 24. These were the sonnes of Leui after the house of their fathers, euen the chiefe of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polles, that did the worke for the seruice of the house of the Lord, from the age of twentie yeeres and vpward.
- 25. For Dauid sayd, The Lord God of Israel hath giuen rest vnto his people, that they may dwell in Ierusalem for euer.
- 26. And also vnto the Leuites: they shall no more cary the Tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the seruice thereof.
- 27. For by the last words of Dauid, the Leuites were numbred from twentie yeeres olde, and aboue:
- 28. Because their office was to wait on the sonnes of Aaron, for the seruice of the house of the Lord, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the worke of the seruice of the house of God:
- 29. Both for the shew-bread, and for the fine floure for meat offering, and for the vnleauened cakes, and for that which is baked in the panne, and for that which is fried, and for all maner of measures and size:
- 30. And to stand euery morning to thanke and praise the Lord, and likewise at Euen:
- 31. And to offer all burnt sacrifices vnto the Lord in the Sabbaths, in the new moones, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded vnto them continually before the Lord:
- 32. And that they should keepe the charge of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sonnes of Aaron their brethren, in the seruice of the house of the Lord.
