1 Chronicles
Chapters 23:3-9
Revised Version 1885
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.
6And David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7Of the Gershonites; Ladan and Shimei.
8The sons of Ladan; Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9The sons of Shimei; Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers' houses of Ladan.
