1 Chronicles 23:3-6 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

3. Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.

4. Of which, twenty and four thousand were to look after the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges:

5. Moreover four thousand were gatekeepers; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, for praise.

6. And David divided them into divisions among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
