* Then David said , This is the house of the LORD God , and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel Yisra #el #. * And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel Yisra #el #; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God . * And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates sha #ar #, and for the joinings ; and brass in abundance without weight ; * Also cedar trees in abundance #H4557 : for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David . * And David said , Solomon my son is young and tender , and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical , of fame and of glory throughout all countries : I will therefore now make preparation for it . So David prepared abundantly before his death . * Then he called for Solomon his son , and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel Yisra #el #. * And David said to Solomon , My son , as for me , it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God : * But the word of the LORD came to me , saying , Thou hast shed blood abundantly , and hast made great wars : thou shalt not build an house unto my name , because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight . * Behold , a son shall be born to thee , who shall be a man of rest ; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about : for his name shall be Solomon , and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days . * He shall build an house for my name ; and he shall be my son , and I will be his father ; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever . * Now , my son , the LORD be with thee ; and prosper thou , and build the house of the LORD thy God , as he hath said of thee . * Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding , and give thee charge concerning Israel Yisra #el #, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God . * Then shalt thou prosper , if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel Yisra #el #: be strong , and of good courage ; dread not , nor be dismayed . * Now , behold , in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold , and a thousand thousand talents of silver ; and of brass and iron without weight ; for it is in abundance : timber also and stone have I prepared ; and thou mayest add thereto . * Moreover there are workmen # with thee in abundance , hewers and workers of stone and timber , and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work m @la #kah #. * Of the gold , the silver , and the brass , and the iron , there is no number . Arise therefore , and be doing , and the LORD be with thee . * David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son , saying , * Is not the LORD your God with you ? and hath he not given you rest on every side ? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand ; and the land is subdued before the LORD , and before his people . * Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God ; arise therefore , and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God , to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD , and the holy vessels of God , into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD . * So when David was old and full of days , he made Solomon his son king over Israel Yisra #el #. * And he gathered together all the princes of Israel Yisra #el #, with the priests and the Levites . * Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward ma #al #: and their number by their polls , man by man , was thirty and eight thousand . * Of which #el-leh #, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD ; and six thousand were officers and judges : * Moreover four thousand were porters show #er #; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made , said David , to praise therewith . * And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi , namely , Gershon , Kohath , and Merari . * Of the Gershonites were , Laadan La #dan #, and Shimei Shim #iy #. * The sons of Laadan La #dan #; the chief was Jehiel Y @chiy #el #, and Zetham , and Joel Yow #el #, three . * The sons of Shimei Shim #iy #; Shelomith Sh @, and Haziel Chaziy #el #, and Haran , three . These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan La #dan #. * And the sons of Shimei were , Jahath , Zina , and Jeush Y @#uwsh #, and Beriah B @riy #ah #. These four were the sons of Shimei Shim #iy #. * And Jahath was the chief ro #sh #, and Zizah the second : but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons ; therefore they were in one reckoning , according to their fathers house . * The sons of Kohath ; Amram , Izhar , Hebron , and Uzziel #Uzziy #el #, four . * The sons of Amram ; Aaron and Moses : and Aaron was separated , that he should sanctify the most holy things , he and his sons for ever , to burn incense before the LORD , to minister unto him , and to bless in his name for ever . * Now concerning Moses the man of God , his sons were named of the tribe of Levi . * The sons of Moses were , Gershom , and Eliezer #Eliy #ezer #. * Of the sons of Gershom , Shebuel was the chief ro #sh #. * And the sons of Eliezer #Eliy #ezer # were , Rehabiah the chief ro #sh #. And Eliezer #Eliy #ezer # had none other sons ; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many . * Of the sons of Izhar ; Shelomith the chief ro #sh #. * Of the sons of Hebron ; Jeriah the first ro #sh #, Amariah the second , Jahaziel the third , and Jekameam the fourth r @biy #iy #. * Of the sons of Uzziel #Uzziy #el #; Michah the first ro #sh #, and Jesiah the second . * The sons of Merari ; Mahli , and Mushi . The sons of Mahli ; Eleazar #El #azar #, and Kish . * And Eleazar #El #azar # died , and had no sons , but daughters : and their brethren the sons of Kish took them . * The sons of Mushi ; Mahli , and Eder , and Jeremoth , three . * These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers ; even the chief of the fathers , as they were counted by number of names by their polls , that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD , from the age of twenty years and upward ma #al #. * For David said , The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people , that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever : * And also unto the Levites ; they shall no more carry the tabernacle , nor any vessels of it for the service thereof . * For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above ma #al #: * Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD , in the courts , and in the chambers , and in the purifying of all holy things , and the work of the service of the house of God ; * Both for the shewbread lechem # ma #areketh #, and for the fine flour for meat offering , and for the unleavened cakes , and for that which is baked in the pan , and for that which is fried , and for all manner of measure and size ; * And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD , and likewise at even ; * And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths , in the new moons , and on the set feasts mow #ed #, by number , according to the order commanded unto them , continually before the LORD : * And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation mow #ed #, and the charge of the holy place , and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren , in the service of the house of the LORD . * Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron . The sons of Aaron ; Nadab , and Abihu , Eleazar #El #azar #, and Ithamar . * But Nadab and Abihu died before their father , and had no children : therefore Eleazar #El #azar # and Ithamar executed the priests office . * And David distributed them , both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar #El #azar #, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar , according to their offices in their service . * And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar #El #azar # than of the sons of Ithamar ; and thus were they divided . Among the sons of Eleazar #El #azar # there were sixteen shesh # chief men of the house of their fathers , and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers . * Thus were they divided by lot , one sort #el-leh # with another #el-leh #; for the governors of the sanctuary , and governors of the house of God , were of the sons of Eleazar #El #azar #, and of the sons of Ithamar . * And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe , one of the Levites , wrote them before the king , and the princes , and Zadok the priest , and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar , and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites : one principal household being taken for Eleazar #El #azar #, and one taken for Ithamar . * Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib , the second to Jedaiah Y @kda #yah #, * The third to Harim , the fourth to Seorim S @#oriym #, * The fifth to Malchijah , the sixth to Mijamin , * The seventh to Hakkoz , the eighth to Abijah , * The ninth to Jeshua , the tenth to Shecaniah , * The eleventh #H6240to Eliashib , the twelfth sh @nayim # to Jakim , * The thirteenth shalowsh # to Huppah , the fourteenth #H6240to Jeshebeab Yesheb #ab #, * The fifteenth chamesh # to Bilgah , the sixteenth shesh # to Immer , * The seventeenth sheba # to Hezir , the eighteenth sh @moneh # to Aphses , * The nineteenth tesha # to Pethahiah , the twentieth to Jehezekel Y @chezqe #l #, * The one and twentieth to Jachin , the two and twentieth to Gamul , * The three and twentieth to Delaiah , the four and twentieth to Maaziah Ma #azyah #. * These were the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD , according to their manner , under Aaron their father , as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him . * And the rest of the sons of Levi were these : Of the sons of Amram ; Shubael Sh @buw #el #: of the sons of Shubael Sh @buw #el #; Jehdeiah . * Concerning Rehabiah : of the sons of Rehabiah , the first was Isshiah . * Of the Izharites ; Shelomoth : of the sons of Shelomoth ; Jahath . * And the sons of Hebron ; Jeriah the first , Amariah the second , Jahaziel the third , Jekameam the fourth r @biy #iy #. * Of the sons of Uzziel #Uzziy #el #; Michah : of the sons of Michah ; Shamir . * The brother of Michah was Isshiah : of the sons of Isshiah ; Zechariah . * The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi : the sons of Jaaziah Ya #aziyahuw #; Beno . * The sons of Merari by Jaaziah Ya #aziyahuw #; Beno , and Shoham , and Zaccur , and Ibri . * Of Mahli came Eleazar #El #azar #, who had no sons . * Concerning Kish : the son of Kish was Jerahmeel Y @rachm @#el #. * The sons also of Mushi ; Mahli , and Eder , and Jerimoth . These were the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers . * These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king , and Zadok , and Ahimelech , and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites , even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren . * Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph , and of Heman , and of Jeduthun , who should prophesy (8675 ) with harps , with psalteries , and with cymbals : and the number of the workmen #H4399according to their service was : * Of the sons of Asaph ; Zaccur , and Joseph , and Nethaniah , and Asarelah #Asar #elah #, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph , which prophesied according to the order of the king . * Of Jeduthun : the sons of Jeduthun ; Gedaliah , and Zeri , and Jeshaiah Y @sha #yah #, Hashabiah , and Mattithiah , six , under the hands of their father Jeduthun , who prophesied with a harp , to give thanks and to praise the LORD . * Of Heman : the sons of Heman ; Bukkiah , Mattaniah , Uzziel #Uzziy #el #, Shebuel Sh @buw #el #, and Jerimoth , Hananiah , Hanani , Eliathah #Eliy #athah #, Giddalti , and Romamtiezer Rowmamtiy #Ezer , Joshbekashah , Mallothi , Hothir , and Mahazioth Machaziy #owth #: * All these were the sons of Heman the kings seer in the words of God , to lift up the horn . And God gave to Heman fourteen #H6240sons and three daughters . * All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the LORD , with cymbals , psalteries , and harps , for the service of the house of God , according to the kings order to Asaph , Jeduthun , and Heman . * So the number of them , with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD , even all that were cunning , was two hundred fourscore and eight . * And they cast lots , ward against ward , as well the small as the great , the teacher as the scholar . * Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph : the second to Gedaliah , who with his brethren and sons were twelve sh @nayim #: * The third to Zaccur , he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The fourth to Izri , he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The fifth to Nethaniah , he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The sixth to Bukkiah , he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The seventh to Jesharelah Y @sar #elah #, he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The eighth to Jeshaiah Y @sha #yah #, he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The ninth to Mattaniah , he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The tenth to Shimei Shim #iy #, he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The eleventh #H6240to Azareel #Azar #el #, he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The twelfth sh @nayim # to Hashabiah , he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The thirteenth shalowsh # to Shubael Sh @buw #el #, he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The fourteenth #H6240to Mattithiah , he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The fifteenth chamesh # to Jeremoth , he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The sixteenth shesh # to Hananiah , he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The seventeenth sheba # to Joshbekashah , he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The eighteenth sh @moneh # to Hanani , he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The nineteenth tesha # to Mallothi , he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The twentieth to Eliathah #Eliy #athah #, he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The one and twentieth to Hothir , he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The two and twentieth to Giddalti , he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The three and twentieth to Mahazioth Machaziy #owth #, he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #: * The four and twentieth to Romamtiezer Rowmamtiy #Ezer , he , his sons , and his brethren , were twelve sh @nayim #. * Concerning the divisions of the porters show #er #: Of the Korhites was Meshelemiah the son of Kore , of the sons of Asaph .
