Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then David said ,
This is the house of the LORD God ,
and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel .
*
And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel ;
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 ,
and for the joinings ;
and brass in abundance without weight ;
*
Also cedar trees in abundance :
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 .
*
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 ,
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 :
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
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 ,
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 ,
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 ,
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 ,
and Ithamar .
*
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father ,
and had no children :
therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest '
s office .
*
And David distributed them ,
both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar ,
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 than of the sons of Ithamar ;
and thus were they divided .
Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen 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 with another ;
for the governors of the sanctuary ,
and governors of the house of God ,
were of the sons of Eleazar ,
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 ,
and one taken for Ithamar .
*
Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib ,
the second to Jedaiah ,
*
The third to Harim ,
the fourth to Seorim ,
*
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 to Eliashib ,
the twelfth to Jakim ,
*
The thirteenth to Huppah ,
the fourteenth to Jeshebeab ,
*
The fifteenth to Bilgah ,
the sixteenth to Immer ,
*
The seventeenth to Hezir ,
the eighteenth to Aphses ,
*
The nineteenth to Pethahiah ,
the twentieth to Jehezekel ,
*
The one and twentieth to Jachin ,
the two and twentieth to Gamul ,
*
The three and twentieth to Delaiah ,
the four and twentieth to Maaziah .
*
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 ;

The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi :
the sons of Jaaziah ;

*
The sons of Merari by Jaaziah ;
Beno ,
and Shoham ,
and Zaccur ,
and Ibri .
*
Of Mahli came Eleazar ,
who had no sons .
*
Concerning Kish :
the son of Kish was Jerahmeel .
*
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 with harps ,
with psalteries ,
and with cymbals :
and the number of the workmen according to their service was :
*
Of the sons of Asaph ;
Zaccur ,
and Joseph ,
and Nethaniah ,
and Asarelah ,
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 ,

*
All these were the sons of Heman the king '
s seer in the words of God ,
to lift up the horn .
And God gave to Heman fourteen sons 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 king '
s 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 .
