And he gathered all Israel's rulers, and the priests, and the Levites.

And the Levites were counted from a son of thirty years and upward; and their number by their heads, as to men, thirty eight thousand.

and four thousand were gatekeepers, and four thousand giving praise to Jehovah with instruments which I made, said David , for praising.

And David divided them into divisions of the sons of Levi, of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
