David Organizes the Levites When David was old and approaching the end of his life, he made his son Solomon king over Israel.
David assembled all the leaders of Israel, along with the priests and the Levites.
The Levites who were thirty years old and up were counted; there were 38,000 men.
David said,“Of these, 24,000 are to direct the work of the LORD’s temple; 6,000 are to be officials and judges;
4,000 are to be gatekeepers; and 4,000 are to praise the LORD with the instruments I supplied for worship.”
David divided them into groups corresponding to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
The Gershonites included Ladan and Shimei.
