3 When the Levites were counted, the head count of every male 30 and older totaled 38,000.
4 Of these, there were 24,000 to supervise the work on the Lord’s temple, 6,000 officers and judges,
5 4,000 gatekeepers, and 4,000 praising the Lord with instruments made for offering praise.
6 Then David divided them into three groups named after Levi’s family members: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7 The Gershonites included Ladan and Shimei.
8 Ladan’s family: Jehiel the first, Zetham, and Joel—three in all.
9 Jehiel’s family: Shelomith, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the households of Ladan.
