Contextual Overview

¹ Now David was old and full of days; and he made his son Solomon king over Israel. ² And he got together all the chiefs of Israel, with the priests and the Levites. ³ And the Levites, all those of thirty years old and over, were numbered; and the number of them, by heads, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand. ⁴ Of these, twenty-four thousand were to be overseers of the work of the house of the Lord, and six thousand were judges and men of authority; ⁵ Four thousand were door-keepers; and four thousand gave praise to the Lord with the instruments which I made, said David, for giving praise. ⁶ And David put them into divisions under the names of the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. ⁷ Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei. ⁸ The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham and Joel, three. ⁹ The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran, three; these were the heads of the families of Ladan. ¹⁰ And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zizah and Jeush and Beriah; these four were the sons of Shimei.
