to those registered by genealogy— with all their dependents, wives, sons, and daughters— of the whole assembly( for they had faithfully consecrated themselves as holy);

Also included were plans for the divisions of the priests and the Levites; all the work of service in the LORD’s house; all the articles of service of the LORD’s house;

Their relatives came from their settlements at fixed times to be with them seven days,but the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted with the rooms and the treasuries of God’s temple.

On that same day men were placed in charge of the rooms that housed the supplies, contributions, firstfruits, and tenths. The legally required portions for the priests and Levites were gathered from the village fields, because Judah was grateful to the priests and Levites who were serving.

As for the farming settlements with their fields: Some of Judah’s descendants lived in Kiriath-arba and Dibon and their surrounding villages, and Jekabzeel and its settlements;in Jeshua, Moladah, Beth-pelet,Hazar-shual, and Beer-sheba and its surrounding villages;in Ziklag and Meconah and its surrounding villages;in En-rimmon, Zorah, Jarmuth, andZanoah and Adullam with their settlements; in Lachish with its fields and Azekah and its surrounding villages. So they settled from Beer-sheba to Hinnom Valley.

Obadiah son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun; and Berechiah son of Asa, son of Elkanah who lived in the settlements of the Netophathites.

Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah in the cities of the priests were to distribute it faithfully under his authority to their brothers by divisions, whether large or small.

The following were the divisions of the gatekeepers: From the Korahites: Meshelemiah son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph.Meshelemiah had sons: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,

When David was old and full of days, he installed his son Solomon as king over Israel.Then he gathered all the leaders of Israel, the priests, and the Levites.The Levites thirty years old or more were counted; the total number of men was thirty-eight thousand by headcount.“ Of these,” David said,“ twenty-four thousand are to be in charge of the work on the LORD’s temple, six thousand are to be officers and judges,four thousand are to be gatekeepers, and four thousand are to praise the LORD with the instruments that I have made for worship.”Then David divided them into divisions according to Levi’s sons: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.Ladan’s sons: Jehiel was the first, then Zetham, and Joel— three.Shimei’s sons: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran— three. Those were the heads of the families of Ladan.Shimei’s sons: Jahath, Zizah, Jeush, and Beriah. Those were Shimei’s sons— four.Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; however, Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became one family and received a single assignment.Kohath’s sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel— four.Amram’s sons: Aaron and Moses. Aaron, along with his descendants, was set apart forever to consecrate the most holy things, to burn incense in the presence of the LORD, to minister to him, and to pronounce blessings in his name forever.As for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.Moses’s sons: Gershom and Eliezer.Gershom’s sons: Shebuel was first.Eliezer’s sons were Rehabiah, first; Eliezer did not have any other sons, but Rehabiah’s sons were very numerous.Izhar’s sons: Shelomith was first.Hebron’s sons: Jeriah was first, Amariah second, Jahaziel third, and Jekameam fourth.Uzziel’s sons: Micah was first, and Isshiah second.Merari’s sons: Mahli and Mushi. Mahli’s sons: Eleazar and Kish.Eleazar died having no sons, only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.Mushi’s sons: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth— three.These were the descendants of Levi by their ancestral families— the family heads, according to their registration by name in the headcount— twenty years old or more, who worked in the service of the LORD’s temple.For David said,“ The LORD God of Israel has given rest to his people, and he has come to stay in Jerusalem forever.Also, the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the equipment for its service”—for according to the last words of David, the Levites twenty years old or more were to be counted—“ but their duty will be to assist the descendants of Aaron with the service of the LORD’s temple, being responsible for the courts and the chambers, the purification of all the holy things, and the work of the service of God’s temple—as well as the rows of the Bread of the Presence, the fine flour for the grain offering, the wafers of unleavened bread, the baking, the mixing, and all measurements of volume and length.They are also to stand every morning to give thanks and praise to the LORD, and likewise in the evening.Whenever burnt offerings are offered to the LORD on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed festivals, they are to offer them regularly in the LORD’s presence according to the number prescribed for them.They are to carry out their responsibilities for the tent of meeting, for the holy place, and for their relatives, the descendants of Aaron, in the service of the LORD’s temple.”

Some of the Judean divisions of Levites were in Benjamin.

David and the officers of the army also set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, who were to prophesy accompanied by lyres, harps, and cymbals. This is the list of the men who performed their service:From Asaph’s sons: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asarelah, sons of Asaph, under Asaph’s authority, who prophesied under the authority of the king.From Jeduthun: Jeduthun’s sons: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah— six— under the authority of their father Jeduthun, prophesying to the accompaniment of lyres, giving thanks and praise to the LORD.From Heman: Heman’s sons: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth.All these sons of Heman, the king’s seer, were given by the promises of God to exalt him, for God had given Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.All these men were under their own fathers’ authority for the music in the LORD’s temple, with cymbals, harps, and lyres for the service of God’s temple. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the king’s authority.They numbered 288 together with their relatives who were all trained and skillful in music for the LORD.They cast lots for their duties, young and old alike, teacher as well as pupil.The first lot for Asaph fell to Joseph, his sons, and his relatives— 12 to Gedaliah the second: him, his relatives, and his sons— 12the third to Zaccur, his sons, and his relatives— 12the fourth to Izri, his sons, and his relatives— 12the fifth to Nethaniah, his sons, and his relatives— 12the sixth to Bukkiah, his sons, and his relatives— 12the seventh to Jesarelah, his sons, and his relatives— 12the eighth to Jeshaiah, his sons, and his relatives— 12the ninth to Mattaniah, his sons, and his relatives— 12the tenth to Shimei, his sons, and his relatives— 12the eleventh to Azarel, his sons, and his relatives— 12the twelfth to Hashabiah, his sons, and his relatives— 12the thirteenth to Shubael, his sons, and his relatives— 12the fourteenth to Mattithiah, his sons, and his relatives— 12the fifteenth to Jeremoth, his sons, and his relatives— 12the sixteenth to Hananiah, his sons, and his relatives— 12the seventeenth to Joshbekashah, his sons, and his relatives— 12the eighteenth to Hanani, his sons, and his relatives— 12the nineteenth to Mallothi, his sons, and his relatives— 12

The singers gathered from the region around Jerusalem, from the settlements of the Netophathites,from Beth-gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for they had built settlements for themselves around Jerusalem.

Here are the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of God’s house. Every willing person of any skill will be at your disposal for the work, and the leaders and all the people are at your every command.”

A Levite called Mattithiah, the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with baking the bread.
