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.
6 And David distributed them into courses according to the sons of Levi, specifically, Gershom, and Kohath, and Merari.
7 The sons of Gershom: Ladan and Shimei.
8 The sons of Ladan: the leader Jahiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the leaders of the families of Ladan.
