Contextual Overview
1 After David had lived long and was old, he made his son Solomon the new king of Israel. 2 David gathered all the leaders of Israel, along with the priests and Levites. 3 He counted the Levites who were thirty years old and older. In all, there were thirty-eight thousand Levites. 4 David said, "Of these, twenty-four thousand Levites will direct the work of the Temple of the Lord , six thousand Levites will be officers and judges, 5 four thousand Levites will be gatekeepers, and four thousand Levites will praise the Lord with musical instruments I made for giving praise." 6 David separated the Levites into three groups that were led by Levi's three sons: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 7 From the people of Gershon, there were Ladan and Shimei. 8 Ladan had three sons. His first son was Jehiel, and his other sons were Zetham and Joel. 9 Shimei's sons were Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran. These three sons were leaders of Ladan's families. 10 Shimei had four sons: Jahath, Ziza, Jeush, and Beriah.
