| 1 | Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel. | 1Ch 29:28 Gn 25:8 Gn 35:29 1Ki 1:1 Jb 5:26 |
| 2 | He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites. | 1Ch 13:1 1Ch 28:1 Jsh 23:2 Jsh 24:1 2Ch 34:29 2Ch 34:30 |
| 3 | The Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand. | Nm 4:2 Nm 4:3 Nm 4:23 Nm 4:30 Nm 4:35 Nm 4:43 Nm 4:47 |
| 4 | Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of Yahweh; and six thousand were officers and judges; | 1Ch 23:28-32 1Ch 6:48 1Ch 9:28-32 1Ch 26:20-27 |
| 5 | and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Yahweh with the instruments which I made, [said David], to praise therewith. | 1Ch 9:17-27 1Ch 15:23 1Ch 15:24 1Ch 16:38 1Ch 26:1-12 2Ch 8:14 2Ch 35:15 Ezr 7:7 Ne 7:73 |
| 6 | David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. | 2Ch 8:14 2Ch 29:25 2Ch 31:2 2Ch 35:10 Ezr 6:18 |
| 7 | Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei. | 1Ch 6:17-20 1Ch 15:7 1Ch 26:21 |
| 8 | The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three. | 1Ch 15:18 1Ch 15:20 1Ch 15:21 |
| 9 | The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers` [houses] of Ladan. |
| 10 | The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. |
| 11 | Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah didn`t have many sons; therefore they became a fathers` house in one reckoning. |
| 12 | The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four. | 1Ch 6:2 Ex 6:18 Nm 3:27 Nm 26:58 |
| 13 | The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons, forever, to burn incense before Yahweh, to minister to him, and to bless in his name, forever. | 1Ch 6:3 Ex 6:20 Nm 3:27 Nm 26:59 |
| 14 | But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi. | Dt 33:1 Ps 90:1 |
| 15 | The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer. | Ex 2:22 Ex 4:20 Ex 18:3 Ex 18:4 |
| 16 | The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief. | 1Ch 24:20 1Ch 25:20 |
| 17 | The sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many. | 1Ch 26:25 |
| 18 | The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief. | 1Ch 24:22 |
| 19 | The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. | 1Ch 23:12 1Ch 15:9 1Ch 24:23 |
| 20 | The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second. |
| 21 | The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish. | 1Ch 23:6 1Ch 6:20 1Ch 6:30 1Ch 24:26-30 |
| 22 | Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only: and their brothers the sons of Kish took them [to wife]. | 1Ch 24:28 |
| 23 | The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three. | 1Ch 24:30 |
| 24 | These were the sons of Levi after their fathers` houses, even the heads of the fathers` [houses] of those of those who were counted, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the house of Yahweh, from twenty years old and upward. | Nm 10:17 Nm 10:21 |
| 25 | For David said, Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever: | 1Ch 22:18 2Sa 7:1 2Sa 7:11 |
| 26 | and also the Levites shall no more have need to carry the tent and all the vessels of it for the service of it. | Nm 4:5 Nm 4:49 Nm 7:9 |
| 27 | For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward. | 1Ch 23:3 1Ch 23:24 2Sa 23:1 Ps 72:20 |
| 28 | For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Yahweh, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of the house of God; | 1Ch 18:17 Ne 11:24 |
| 29 | for the show bread also, and for the fine flour for a meal-offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all manner of measure and size; | 1Ch 9:31 1Ch 9:32 Ex 25:30 Lv 24:5-9 1Ki 7:48 2Ch 13:11 2Ch 29:18 Ne 10:33 Mt 12:4 Heb 9:2 |
| 30 | and to stand every morning to thank and praise Yahweh, and likewise at even; | 1Ch 6:31-33 1Ch 9:33 1Ch 16:37-42 1Ch 25:1-7 2Ch 29:25-28 2Ch 31:2 Ezr 3:10 Ezr 3:11 Ps 135:1-3 Ps 135:19-3 Ps 135:20-3 Ps 137:2-4 Rev 5:8-14 Rev 14:3 |
| 31 | and to offer all burnt offerings to Yahweh, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before Yahweh; | Lv 23:24 Lv 23:39 Nm 10:10 Ps 81:1-4 Isa 1:13 Isa 1:14 |
| 32 | and that they should keep the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brothers, for the service of the house of Yahweh. | 1Ch 9:27 Nm 1:53 1Ki 8:4 |
