1 Then David, being old and full of days, appointed his son Solomon as king over Israel.
2 And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel, with the priests as well as the Levites.
3 And the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward. And there were found thirty-eight thousand men.
4 Of these, twenty-four thousand were chosen and distributed to the ministry of the house of the Lord. Then six thousand were overseers and judges.
5 Moreover, four thousand were porters. And the same number were the singers of psalms to the Lord, with the musical instruments which he had made for the music.
