1 Chronicles 23:2
Verse 2 of 32. The 23rd of 29 chapters in 1 Chronicles, in History.
1Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3The Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
4David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the LORD’s house, six thousand were officers and judges,
5four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made for giving praise.”
6David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
