This is how Aaron’s descendants, the priests, were divided into groups for service. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

So the Levites and all the people of Judah did everything as Jehoiada the priest ordered. The commanders took charge of the men reporting for duty that Sabbath, as well as those who were going off duty. Jehoiada the priest did not let anyone go home after their shift ended.

Oh, praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord, you who serve at night in the house of the Lord.Lift your hands toward the sanctuary, and praise the Lord.May the Lord, who made heaven and earth, bless you from Jerusalem.Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord! Praise him, you who serve the Lord,you who serve in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; celebrate his lovely name with music.

In assigning the priests to their duties, Solomon followed the regulations of his father, David. He also assigned the Levites to lead the people in praise and to assist the priests in their daily duties. And he assigned the gatekeepers to their gates by their divisions, following the commands of David, the man of God.

They sacrificed the regular burnt offerings to the Lord each morning and evening on the altar set aside for that purpose, obeying everything written in the Law of the Lord, as he had commanded Israel.David also appointed Heman, Jeduthun, and the others chosen by name to give thanks to the Lord, for“ his faithful love endures forever.”

The work of the Levites was to assist the priests, the descendants of Aaron, as they served at the house of the Lord. They also took care of the courtyards and side rooms, helped perform the ceremonies of purification, and served in many other ways in the house of God.They were in charge of the sacred bread that was set out on the table, the choice flour for the grain offerings, the wafers made without yeast, the cakes cooked in olive oil, and the other mixed breads. They were also responsible to check all the weights and measures.And each morning and evening they stood before the Lord to sing songs of thanks and praise to him.They assisted with the burnt offerings that were presented to the Lord on Sabbath days, at new moon celebrations, and at all the appointed festivals. The required number of Levites served in the Lord’s presence at all times, following all the procedures they had been given.

The priests then killed the goats as a sin offering and sprinkled their blood on the altar to make atonement for the sins of all Israel. The king had specifically commanded that this burnt offering and sin offering should be made for all Israel.King Hezekiah then stationed the Levites at the Temple of the Lord with cymbals, lyres, and harps. He obeyed all the commands that the Lord had given to King David through Gad, the king’s seer, and the prophet Nathan.The Levites then took their positions around the Temple with the instruments of David, and the priests took their positions with the trumpets.

David and the army commanders then appointed men from the families of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun to proclaim God’s messages to the accompaniment of lyres, harps, and cymbals. Here is a list of their names and their work:From the sons of Asaph, there were Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asarelah. They worked under the direction of their father, Asaph, who proclaimed God’s messages by the king’s orders.From the sons of Jeduthun, there were Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six in all. They worked under the direction of their father, Jeduthun, who proclaimed God’s messages to the accompaniment of the lyre, offering thanks and praise to the Lord.

David appointed the following Levites to lead the people in worship before the Ark of the Lord— to invoke his blessings, to give thanks, and to praise the Lord, the God of Israel.Asaph, the leader of this group, sounded the cymbals. Second to him was Zechariah, followed by Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed edom, and Jeiel. They played the harps and lyres.The priests, Benaiah and Jahaziel, played the trumpets regularly before the Ark of God’s Covenant.

Then the priests left the Holy Place. All the priests who were present had purified themselves, whether or not they were on duty that day.

When David was an old man, he appointed his son Solomon to be king over Israel.David summoned all the leaders of Israel, together with the priests and Levites.All the Levites who were thirty years old or older were counted, and the total came to 38,000.Then David said,“ From all the Levites, 24,000 will supervise the work at the Temple of the Lord. Another 6,000 will serve as officials and judges.Another 4,000 will work as gatekeepers, and 4,000 will praise the Lord with the musical instruments I have made.”Then David divided the Levites into divisions named after the clans descended from the three sons of Levi— Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.The Gershonite family units were defined by their lines of descent from Libni and Shimei, the sons of Gershon.Three of the descendants of Libni were Jehiel( the family leader), Zetham, and Joel.These were the leaders of the family of Libni. Three of the descendants of Shimei were Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran.Four other descendants of Shimei were Jahath, Ziza, Jeush, and Beriah.Jahath was the family leader, and Ziza was next. Jeush and Beriah were counted as a single family because neither had many sons.Four of the descendants of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.The sons of Amram were Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were set apart to dedicate the most holy things, to offer sacrifices in the Lord’s presence, to serve the Lord, and to pronounce blessings in his name forever.As for Moses, the man of God, his sons were included with the tribe of Levi.The sons of Moses were Gershom and Eliezer.The descendants of Gershom included Shebuel, the family leader.Eliezer had only one son, Rehabiah, the family leader. Rehabiah had numerous descendants.The descendants of Izhar included Shelomith, the family leader.The descendants of Hebron included Jeriah( the family leader), Amariah( the second), Jahaziel( the third), and Jekameam( the fourth).The descendants of Uzziel included Micah( the family leader) and Isshiah( the second).The descendants of Merari included Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli were Eleazar and Kish.Eleazar died with no sons, only daughters. His daughters married their cousins, the sons of Kish.Three of the descendants of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth.These were the descendants of Levi by clans, the leaders of their family groups, registered carefully by name. Each had to be twenty years old or older to qualify for service in the house of the Lord.For David said,“ The Lord, the God of Israel, has given us peace, and he will always live in Jerusalem.Now the Levites will no longer need to carry the Tabernacle and its furnishings from place to place.”

David arranged for Asaph and his fellow Levites to serve regularly before the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant, doing whatever needed to be done each day.

the sounds of joy and laughter. The joyful voices of bridegrooms and brides will be heard again, along with the joyous songs of people bringing thanksgiving offerings to the Lord. They will sing,‘ Give thanks to the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, for the Lord is good. His faithful love endures forever!’ For I will restore the prosperity of this land to what it was in the past, says the Lord.

Also Mattaniah son of Mica, son of Zabdi, a descendant of Asaph, who led in thanksgiving and prayer. Also Bakbukiah, who was Mattaniah’s assistant, and Abda son of Shammua, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun.

Then the priests and Levites were divided into their various divisions to serve at the Temple of God in Jerusalem, as prescribed in the Book of Moses.
