2. He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3. The Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
4. David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of Yahweh’s house, six thousand were officers and judges,
5. four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised Yahweh with the instruments which I made for giving praise.”
6. David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7. Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
8. The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, Zetham, and Joel, three.
9. The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.
10. The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
11. Jahath 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.
12. The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
