1. Now David was old and full of days. And he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2. And he assembled all the commanders of Israel and the priests and the Levites.
3. And the Levites thirty years old and above were counted, and their number according to their head count for the men was thirty-eight thousand.
4. Of these, David said, “Twenty-four thousand are to direct the work of the house of Yahweh, along with six thousand judges and officials,
5. four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand offering praise with the instruments that I have made for praise.”
6. And David organized them in divisions according to the sons of Levi: to Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
