* 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 .
