Chapter 23 So when David was old and full
of days, he made Solomon his son king over

00:08.420 --> 00:08.840
Israel.

00:09.820 --> 00:13.420
And he gathered together all the princes
of Israel, with the priests and the

00:13.420 --> 00:13.840
Levites.

00:14.740 --> 00:19.080
Now the Levites were numbered from the age
of thirty years and upward, and their

00:19.080 --> 00:22.920
number by their polls, man by man,
was thirty and eight thousand,

00:23.940 --> 00:28.060
of which twenty and four thousand were to
set forward the work of the house of the

00:28.060 --> 00:31.100
Lord, and six thousand were officers and
judges.

00:31.940 --> 00:36.100
Moreover, four thousand were porters,
and four thousand praised the Lord with

00:36.100 --> 00:40.300
the instruments, which I made,
said David, to praise therewith.

00:41.100 --> 00:45.980
And David divided them into courses among
the sons of Levi, namely Gershon,

00:46.620 --> 00:48.000
Kohath, and Marari.

00:48.980 --> 00:52.340
Of the Gershonites were Laodon and Shimei.

00:52.980 --> 00:57.980
The sons of Laodon, the chief was Jehiel,
and Zetham, and Joel, three.

00:59.040 --> 01:02.900
The sons of Shimei, Shalometh,
and Hazael, and Haran, three.

01:03.400 --> 01:05.460
These were the chief of the fathers of
Laodon.

01:06.080 --> 01:11.040
And the sons of Shimei were Jehath,
Zinah, and Jehosh, and Bariah.

01:11.860 --> 01:13.720
These four were the sons of Shimei.

01:14.200 --> 01:17.380
And Jehath was the chief, and Zizah the
second.

01:17.960 --> 01:20.160
But Jehosh and Bariah had not many sons.

01:20.160 --> 01:24.120
Therefore they were in one reckoning,
according to their father's house.

01:25.260 --> 01:30.720
The sons of Kohath, Amram, Ishar,
Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

01:31.500 --> 01:34.400
The sons of Amram, Aaron, and Moses.

01:35.560 --> 01:39.320
And Aaron was separated, that he should
sanctify the most holy things,

01:39.620 --> 01:44.420
he and his sons forever, to burn incense
before the Lord, to minister unto him,

01:44.760 --> 01:46.460
and to bless in his name forever.

01:47.280 --> 01:51.960
Now concerning Moses the man of God,
his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.

01:52.840 --> 01:55.480
The sons of Moses were Gershom and
Eliezer.

01:56.080 --> 01:58.580
Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the
chief.

01:58.980 --> 02:02.100
And the sons of Eliezer were Rehobiah the
chief.

02:02.740 --> 02:04.400
And Eliezer had none other sons.

02:04.920 --> 02:06.900
But the sons of Rehobiah were very many.

02:07.660 --> 02:10.740
Of the sons of Ishar, Shelomith the chief.

02:10.740 --> 02:17.340
Of the sons of Hebron, Jeriah the first,
Amariah the second, Jehaziel the third,

02:17.820 --> 02:18.980
and Jechamim the fourth.

02:19.880 --> 02:23.820
Of the sons of Uzziel, Micah the first,
and Josiah the second.

02:24.560 --> 02:27.840
The sons of Marari, Malai, and Mushai.

02:28.460 --> 02:31.640
The sons of Malai, Eliezer, and Kish.

02:32.300 --> 02:35.180
And Eliezer died and had no sons,
but daughters.

02:36.000 --> 02:38.380
And their brethren, the sons of Kish,
took them.

02:38.380 --> 02:43.460
The sons of Mushai, Malai, and Edah,
and Jeremoth, three.

02:44.860 --> 02:47.640
These were the sons of Levi after the
house of their fathers.

02:48.460 --> 02:52.200
Even the chief of the fathers,
as they were counted by number of names by

02:52.200 --> 02:55.820
their poles, that did the work for the
service of the house of the Lord,

02:56.200 --> 02:58.160
from the age of twenty years and upward.

02:58.340 --> 03:02.720
For David said, The Lord God of Israel
hath given rest unto his people,

03:03.380 --> 03:05.400
that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever.

03:05.400 --> 03:07.140
And also unto the Levites.

03:07.440 --> 03:11.600
They shall no more carry the tabernacle,
nor any vessels of it, for the service

03:11.600 --> 03:12.080
thereof.

03:12.500 --> 03:16.100
For by the last words of David,
the Levites were numbered from twenty

03:16.100 --> 03:17.200
years old and above.

03:17.680 --> 03:21.400
Because their office was to wait on the
sons of Aaron for the service of the house

03:21.400 --> 03:26.160
of the Lord, in the courts, and in the
chambers, and in the purifying of all holy

03:26.160 --> 03:30.680
things, and the work of the service of the
house of God, both for the showbread,

03:31.000 --> 03:35.400
and for the fine flour for meat offering,
and for the unleavened cakes, and for that

03:35.400 --> 03:39.620
which is baked in the pan, and for that
which is fried, and for all manner of

03:39.620 --> 03:40.460
measure and size.

03:41.160 --> 03:45.500
And to stand every morning to thank and
praise the Lord, and likewise at even.

03:46.400 --> 03:50.720
And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the
Lord in the sabbaths, in the new moons,

03:51.060 --> 03:55.240
and on the set feasts, by number,
according to the order commanded unto

03:55.240 --> 03:57.300
them, continually before the Lord.

03:57.840 --> 04:00.780
And that they should keep the charge of
the tabernacle of the congregation,

04:00.780 --> 04:04.960
and the charge of the holy place,
and the charge of the sons of Aaron their

04:04.960 --> 04:07.720
brethren, in the service of the house of
the Lord.
