1 Now David was old and full of days. And he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 And he assembled all the commanders of Israel and the priests and the Levites.
3 And the Levites thirty years old and above were counted, and their number according to their head count for the men was thirty-eight thousand.
4 Of these, David said, “Twenty-four thousand are to direct the work of the house of Yahweh, along with six thousand judges and officials,
5 four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand offering praise with the instruments that I have made for praise.”
6 And David organized them in divisions according to the sons of Levi: to Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
