Contextual Overview

¹ David was old when he chose his son Solomon to be king of Israel. ² Some time later, David called together all of Israel's leaders, priests, and Levites. ³ He then counted the Levite men who were at least thirty years old, and the total was thirty-eight thousand. ⁴ He said, "Twenty-four thousand of the Levites will be in charge of the temple, six thousand will be temple officials and judges, ⁵ four thousand will be guards at the temple, and four thousand will praise the Lord by playing the musical instruments I have given them." ⁶ David then divided the Levites into three groups according to the clans of Levi's sons, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. ⁷ Gershon had two sons: Ladan and Shimei. ⁸ Ladan was the father of Jehiel, Zetham, and Joel. ⁹ They were all family leaders among their father's descendants. Shimei was the father of Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran. ¹⁰Later, Shimei had four more sons, in the following order: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. But Jeush and Beriah didn't have many children, so their descendants were counted as one family.
