( Previously in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he used to say,“ Come, and let’s go to the seer”; for he who is called a prophet now was previously called a seer.)

The genealogical enrollment included all their little children, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, for the whole assembly, for they consecrated themselves faithfully in holiness.

also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites and for all the work of the service of the house of the Lord and for all the utensils of service in the house of the Lord;

Their relatives in their settlements were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them;for the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, served in an official capacity, and were in charge of the chambers and in charge of the treasuries in the house of God.

On that day men were also appointed over the chambers for the supplies, the contributions, the first fruits, and the tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions required by the Law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced over the priests and the Levites who served.

Now as for the villages with their fields, some of the sons of Judah lived in Kiriath arba and its towns, in Dibon and its towns, and in Jekabzeel and its villages,and in Jeshua, in Moladah, and Beth pelet,and in Hazar shual, in Beersheba and its towns,and in Ziklag, in Meconah and in its towns,and in En rimmon, in Zorah, and in Jarmuth,Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages, Lachish and its fields, Azekah and its towns. So they camped from Beersheba as far as the Valley of Hinnom.

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

Under his authority were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, to distribute their portions faithfully to their brothers by divisions, whether great or small,

For the divisions of the gatekeepers there were of the Korahites, Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.Meshelemiah had sons: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,

Now when David reached old age, he made his son Solomon king over Israel.And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel with the priests and the Levites.Now the Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward, and their number by head count of men was thirty eight thousand.Of these, twenty four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of the Lord; and six thousand were officers and judges,and four thousand were gatekeepers, and four thousand were praising the Lord with the instruments which David made for giving praise.David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.Of the Gershonites there were Ladan and Shimei.The sons of Ladan were Jehiel the first, and Zetham and Joel, three.The sons of Shimei were Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.The sons of Shimei were Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.Jahath was the first and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became a father’s household, one group for duty.The sons of Kohath were four in number: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.The sons of Amram were Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was set apart to sanctify him as most holy, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the Lord, to serve Him and bless in His name forever.But as for Moses, the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.The sons of Moses were Gershom and Eliezer.The son of Gershom was Shebuel the chief.The son of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.The son of Izhar was Shelomith the chief.The sons of Hebron were Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.The sons of Uzziel were Micah the first and Isshiah the second.The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli were Eleazar and Kish.Eleazar died and had no sons, but only daughters; so their relatives, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.The sons of Mushi were three: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth.These were the sons of Levi according to their fathers’ households, the heads of the fathers’ households of those among them who were counted, in the number of names by their head count, doing the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and upward.For David said,“ The Lord God of Israel has given rest to His people, and He dwells in Jerusalem forever.Also, the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its utensils for its service.”For by the last words of David, the sons of Levi were counted from twenty years old and upward.For their office is to assist the sons of Aaron with the service of the house of the Lord, in the courtyards and in the chambers, and in the purification of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God,and with the showbread, and the fine flour for a grain offering, and unleavened wafers, or what is baked in the pan or what is well mixed, and all measures of volume and size.They are to stand every morning to thank and to praise the Lord, and likewise at evening,and to offer all burnt offerings to the Lord, on the Sabbaths, the new moons and the appointed festivals, in the number determined by the ordinance concerning them, continually before the Lord.So they are to perform the duties of the tent of meeting, the holy place, and of assisting the sons of Aaron their relatives, for the service of the house of the Lord.

And from the Levites, some divisions in Judah belonged to Benjamin.

Moreover, David and the commanders of the army set apart for the service some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, who were to prophesy with lyres, harps, and cymbals; and the number of those who performed this service was:Of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah; the sons of Asaph were under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied under the direction of the king.Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six in all, under the direction of their father Jeduthun with the harp, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising the Lord.Of Heman, the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti and Romamti ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth.All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer to exalt him according to the words of God, for God gave fourteen sons and three daughters to Heman.All of these were under the direction of their father to sing in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, harps, and lyres, for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the direction of the king.Their number who were trained in singing to the Lord, with their relatives, all who were skillful, was 288.They cast lots for their duties, all alike, the small as well as the great, the teacher as well as the pupil.Now the first lot came out for Asaph to Joseph, the second for Gedaliah, he with his relatives and sons were twelve;the third to Zaccur, his sons and his relatives, twelve;the fourth to Izri, his sons and his relatives, twelve;the fifth to Nethaniah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;the sixth to Bukkiah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;the seventh to Jesharelah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;the eighth to Jeshaiah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;the ninth to Mattaniah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;the tenth to Shimei, his sons and his relatives, twelve;the eleventh to Azarel, his sons and his relatives, twelve;the twelfth to Hashabiah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;for the thirteenth, Shubael, his sons and his relatives, twelve;for the fourteenth, Mattithiah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;for the fifteenth to Jeremoth, his sons and his relatives, twelve;for the sixteenth to Hananiah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;for the seventeenth to Joshbekashah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;for the eighteenth to Hanani, his sons and his relatives, twelve;for the nineteenth to Mallothi, his sons and his relatives, twelve;

So the sons of the singers were assembled from the territory around Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites,from Beth gilgal and from their fields in Geba and Azmaveth, because the singers had built themselves villages around Jerusalem.

Now behold, there are the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of God, and every willing man of any skill will be with you in all the work for all kinds of service. The officials also and all the people will be entirely at your command.”

Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the responsibility for the baking of cakes in pans.
