1 Chronicles 23:8
Verse 8 of 32. The 23rd of 29 chapters in 1 Chronicles, in History.
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.
7Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
8The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, Zetham, and Joel, three.
9The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.
10The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
11Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah didn’t have many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in one reckoning.
12The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
