23:1 So
when
Dauid
was
old
and
full
of
dayes,
he
made
Solomon
his
sonne
king
ouer
Israel.
23:2 And
he
gathered
together
all
the
Princes
of
Israel,
with
the
Priests
and
the
Leuites.
23:3 Now
the
Leuites
were
numbred
from
the
age
of
thirtie
yeeres
and
vpward:
and
their
number,
by
their
polles,
man
by
man,
was
thirtie
and
eight
thousand.
23:4 Of
which,
twentie
and
foure
thousand
were
to
set
forward
the
work
of
the
house
of
the
Lord:
and
sixe
thousand
were
Officers
and
Iudges.
23:5 Moreouer,
foure
thousand
were
porters,
and
foure
thousand
praised
the
Lord
with
the
instruments
which
I
made
(said
Dauid)
to
praise
therewith.
23:6 And
Dauid
diuided
them
into
courses
among
the
sonnes
of
Leui,
namely
Gershon,
Kohath,
and
Merari.
23:7 Of
the
Gershonites
were
Laadan,
and
Shimei.
23:8 The
sonnes
of
Laadan,
the
chiefe
was
Iehiel,
and
Zetham,
and
Ioel,
three.
23:9 The
sonnes
of
Shimei:
Shelomith,
and
Haziel,
and
Haran,
three.
These
were
the
chiefe
of
the
fathers
of
Laadan.
23:10 And
the
sonnes
of
Shimei
were:
Iahath,
Zina,
and
Ieush,
and
Beriah.
These
foure
were
the
sonnes
of
Shimei.
23:11 And
Iahath
was
the
chiefe,
and
Ziza
the
second:
but
Ieush
and
Beriah
had
not
many
sonnes:
therefore
they
were
in
one
reckoning,
according
to
their
fathers
house.
23:12 The
sonnes
of
Kohath:
Amram,
Izhar,
Hebron,
and
Uzziel,
foure.
23:13 The
sonnes
of
Amram:
Aaron
and
Moses:
and
Aaron
was
separated,
that
he
should
sanctifie
the
most
holy
things,
he
and
his
sonnes
for
euer,
to
burne
incense
before
the
Lord,
to
minister
vnto
him,
and
to
blesse
in
his
Name
for
euer.
23:14 Now
concerning
Moses
the
man
of
God,
his
sonnes
were
named
of
the
tribe
of
Leui.
23:15 The
sonnes
of
Moses
were:
Gershom
and
Eliezer.
23:16 Of
the
sonnes
of
Gershom
Shebuel
was
the
chiefe.
23:17 And
the
sonnes
of
Eliezer
were:
Rehabiah
the
chiefe.
And
Eliezer
had
none
other
sonnes:
but
the
sonnes
of
Rehabiah
were
very
many.
23:18 Of
the
sonnes
of
Izhar,
Shelomith
the
chiefe.
23:19 Of
the
sonnes
of
Hebron,
Ieriah
the
first,
Amariah
the
second,
Iahaziel
the
third,
and
Iekamiam
the
fourth.
23:20 Of
the
sonnes
of
Uzziel:
Michah
the
first,
and
Iesiah
the
second.
23:21 The
sonnes
of
Merari:
Mahli
and
Mushi.
The
sonnes
of
Mahli:
Eleazar
and
Kish.
23:22 And
Eleazar
died,
and
had
no
sonnes
but
daughters:
and
their
brethren
the
sonnes
of
Kish
tooke
them.
23:23 The
sonnes
of
Mushi:
Mahli,
and
Eder,
and
Ierimoth,
three.
23:24 These
were
the
sonnes
of
Leui
after
the
house
of
their
fathers,
euen
the
chiefe
of
the
fathers,
as
they
were
counted
by
number
of
names
by
their
polles,
that
did
the
worke
for
the
seruice
of
the
house
of
the
Lord,
from
the
age
of
twentie
yeeres
and
vpward.
23:25 For
Dauid
sayd,
The
Lord
God
of
Israel
hath
giuen
rest
vnto
his
people,
that
they
may
dwell
in
Ierusalem
for
euer.
23:26 And
also
vnto
the
Leuites:
they
shall
no
more
cary
the
Tabernacle,
nor
any
vessels
of
it
for
the
seruice
thereof.
23:27 For
by
the
last
words
of
Dauid,
the
Leuites
were
numbred
from
twentie
yeeres
olde,
and
aboue:
23:28 Because
their
office
was
to
wait
on
the
sonnes
of
Aaron,
for
the
seruice
of
the
house
of
the
Lord,
in
the
courts,
and
in
the
chambers,
and
in
the
purifying
of
all
holy
things,
and
the
worke
of
the
seruice
of
the
house
of
God:
23:29 Both
for
the
shew-bread,
and
for
the
fine
floure
for
meat
offering,
and
for
the
vnleauened
cakes,
and
for
that
which
is
baked
in
the
panne,
and
for
that
which
is
fried,
and
for
all
maner
of
measures
and
size:
23:30 And
to
stand
euery
morning
to
thanke
and
praise
the
Lord,
and
likewise
at
Euen:
23:31 And
to
offer
all
burnt
sacrifices
vnto
the
Lord
in
the
Sabbaths,
in
the
new
moones,
and
on
the
set
feasts,
by
number,
according
to
the
order
commanded
vnto
them
continually
before
the
Lord:
23:32 And
that
they
should
keepe
the
charge
of
the
Tabernacle
of
the
Congregation,
and
the
charge
of
the
holy
place,
and
the
charge
of
the
sonnes
of
Aaron
their
brethren,
in
the
seruice
of
the
house
of
the
Lord.
