3. 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.
4. Of which, twenty and four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges:
5. Moreover, four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise with them.
6. And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7. Of the Gershonites, were, Laadan and Shimei.
8. The sons of Laadan: the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9. The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
10. And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
