Contextual Overview
1When David was old and full of days, he installed his son Solomon as king over Israel. 2Then he gathered all the leaders of Israel, the priests, and the Levites. 3The Levites thirty years old or more were counted; the total number of men was thirty-eight thousand by headcount. 4“Of these,” David said, “twenty-four thousand are to be in charge of the work on the Lord’s temple, six thousand are to be officers and judges, 5four thousand are to be gatekeepers, and four thousand are to praise the Lord with the instruments that I have made for worship.” 6Then David divided them into divisions according to Levi’s sons: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari. 7The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei. 8Ladan’s sons: Jehiel was the first, then Zetham, and Joel—three. 9Shimei’s sons: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three. Those were the heads of the families of Ladan. 10Shimei’s sons: Jahath, Zizah, Jeush, and Beriah. Those were Shimei’s sons—four.
