1
So note when Dauid was old
and full of dayes, he made
Solomon his sonne king
ouer Israel.
2
¶ And he gathered
together all the Princes of Israel, with
the Priests and the Leuites.
3
Now the Leuites were numbred
from the age of thirtie note yeeres and vpward:
and their number, by their
polles, man by man, was thirtie and
eight thousand.
4
Of which, twentie and foure
Moses his sonnes.
thousand were note to set forward the work
of the house of the Lord: and sixe
thousand were Officers and Iudges.
5
Moreouer, foure thousand were
porters, and foure thousand praised the
Lord with the instruments which
I made (said Dauid) to praise therewith.
6
And note Dauid diuided them into
note courses among the sonnes of Leui,
namely Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7
¶ Of the note Gershonites were note Laadan,
and Shimei.
8
The sonnes of Laadan, the chiefe
was Iehiel, and Zetham, and Ioel,
three.
9
The sonnes of Shimei: Shelomith,
and Haziel, and Haran, three.
These were the chiefe of the fathers of
Laadan.
10
And the sonnes of Shimei were:
Iahath, note Zina, and Ieush, and Beriah.
These foure were the sonnes of
Shimei.
11
And Iahath was the chiefe, and
Ziza the second: but Ieush and Beriah
note had not many sonnes: therefore they
were in one reckoning, according to their
fathers house.
12
¶ The sonnes of Kohath: Amram,
Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, foure.
13
The sonnes of note Amram: Aaron
and Moses: and note 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.
14
noteNow concerning Moses the
man of God, his sonnes were named of
the tribe of Leui.
15
The sonnes of Moses were: note Gershom
and Eliezer.
16
Of the sonnes of Gershom Shebuel
was the chiefe.
17
And the sonnes of Eliezer were:
note Rehabiah note the chiefe. And Eliezer
had none other sonnes: but the sonnes
of Rehabiah note were very many.
18
Of the sonnes of Izhar, Shelomith

sonnes but daughters: and their note brethren
the sonnes of Kish tooke them.
23
The sonnes of Mushi: Mahli,
and Eder, and Ierimoth, three.
24
¶ These were the sonnes of note 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 note twentie yeeres and vpward.
25
For Dauid sayd, The Lord
God of Israel hath giuen rest vnto his
people, note that they may dwell in Ierusalem
for euer.
26
And also vnto the Leuites: they
shall no more cary the Tabernacle, nor
any vessels of it for the seruice thereof.
27
For by the last words of Dauid,
the Leuites were note numbred from twentie
yeeres olde, and aboue:
28
Because note 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:
29
Both for the note shew-bread, and
for the fine floure for meat offering, and
for the vnleauened cakes, and for that
which is baked in the note panne, and for that
which is fried, and for all maner of measures
and size:
30
And to stand euery morning to
thanke and praise the Lord, and
likewise at Euen:
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:
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.
