He also gathered all the leaders of Israel, as well as the priests and Levites. The Levites thirty years old or older were counted, and the total number of men was thirty-eight thousand. David said: Of these, twenty-four thousand are to supervise the work of Jehovah's Temple and six thousand are to be officials and judges. read more.
Four thousand are to be gatekeepers and four thousand are to praise Jehovah with musical instruments I have provided for that purpose. David divided the Levites into groups corresponding to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath and Merari. Belonging to the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei. The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the first, Zetham and Joel, three in all. The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel and Haran, three in all. These were the heads of the families of Ladan. The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Ziza, Jeush and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei, four in all. Jahath was the first and Ziza the second, but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons so they were counted as one family with one assignment. The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel, four in all. The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron was set apart, he and his descendants from generation to generation, to consecrate the most holy things, to offer sacrifices before Jehovah, to minister before him and to pronounce blessings in his name as long as they live. The sons of Moses the man of God were counted as part of the tribe of Levi. The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer. The descendants of Gershom: Shubael was the first. The descendants of Eliezer: Rehabiah was the first. Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very numerous. The sons of Izhar: Shelomith was the first. The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third and Jekameam the fourth. The sons of Uzziel: Micah the first and Isshiah the second. The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi.

These were the descendants of Levi by their families, the heads of families as they were registered under their names and counted individually, that is, the workers twenty years old or more who served in the Temple of Jehovah. For David had said: Since Jehovah, the God of Israel, has granted rest to his people and has come to dwell in Jerusalem from generation to generation, the Levites no longer need to carry the Tabernacle or any of the articles used in its service. According to the last instructions of David, the Levites were counted from those twenty years old or more.
