1 Chronicles
Chapters 23:1-5
Revised Version 1885
1Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.
4Of these, twenty and four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of the Lord; and six thousand were officers and judges:
5and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised the Lord with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.
