Four thousand are to be gatekeepers and four thousand are to praise Jehovah with musical instruments I have provided for that purpose.

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.

According to the last instructions of David, the Levites were counted from those twenty years old or more.

Praise be to Jehovah, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing into the heart of the king, to make fair the house of Jehovah that is in Jerusalem.
