Contextual Overview

1When David reached old age, he made his son Solomon king over Israel. 2And he assembled together all the leaders of Israel with the priests and Levites. 3The Levites thirty years old and upward were counted, and their number man by man was 38,000. 4Of these 24,000 were to oversee and inspect the work of the house of the LORD and 6,000 were to be administrators and judges, 5and 4,000 were gatekeepers, and 4,000 [musicians] were to praise the LORD with the instruments which David made for giving praise. 6And David organized them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 7Of the Gershonites: Ladan (Libni) and Shimei. 8The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the first and Zetham and Joel—three in all. 9The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the fathers' households of Ladan. 10The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina (Zizah), Jeush, and Beriah. These were the four sons of Shimei.
