Seeker Overlay ON
*
So when David was old and full of days ,
he made Solomon his son king over Israel .
*
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel ,
with the priests and the Levites .
*
Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward :
and their number by their polls ,
man by man ,
was thirty and eight thousand .
*
Of which ,
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 ;
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 ,
and Shimei .
*
The sons of Laadan ;
the chief was Jehiel ,
and Zetham ,
and Joel ,
three .
*
The sons of Shimei ;
Shelomith ,
and Haziel ,
and Haran ,
three .
These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan .
*
And the sons of Shimei were ,
Jahath ,
Zina ,
and Jeush ,
and Beriah .
These four were the sons of Shimei .
*
And Jahath was the chief ,
and Zizah the second :
but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons ;
therefore they were in one reckoning ,
according to their father '
s house .
*
The sons of Kohath ;
Amram ,
Izhar ,
Hebron ,
and Uzziel ,
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 .
*
Of the sons of Gershom ,
Shebuel was the chief .
*
And the sons of Eliezer were ,
Rehabiah the chief .
And Eliezer had none other sons ;
but the sons of Rehabiah were very many .
*
Of the sons of Izhar ;
Shelomith the chief .
*
Of the sons of Hebron ;
Jeriah the first ,
Amariah the second ,
Jahaziel the third ,
and Jekameam the fourth .
*
Of the sons of Uzziel ;
Michah the first ,
and Jesiah the second .
*
The sons of Merari ;
Mahli ,
and Mushi .
The sons of Mahli ;
Eleazar ,
and Kish .
*
And Eleazar 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 .
