Contextual Overview

1 David had now grown old; he had lived many years; so he made Shlomo his son king over Isra'el. 2 Then he assembled all the leaders of Isra'el, with the cohanim and L'vi'im. 3 A census of L'vi'im thirty years old and over was taken, and their number came to 38,000. 4 Of these, 24,000 were to oversee the work on the house of Adonai , while 6,000 were officials and judges, 5 4,000 were gatekeepers, and 4,000 sang praise to Adonai "with the instruments I made for the purpose of singing praise." 6 David organized them into divisions named after the sons of Levi — Gershon, K'hat and M'rari. 7 For the Gershuni: La‘dan and Shim‘i. 8 The sons of La‘dan: Yechi'el the chief, Zetam and Yo'el — three. 9 The sons of Shim‘i: Shlomit, Hazi'el and Haran — three. These were the heads of the clans of La‘dan. 10 The sons of Shim‘i: Yachat, Zina Ye‘ush and B'ri‘ah. These four were the sons of Shim‘i.
