The Levites: the descendants of Jeshua and Kadmiel( through the line of Hodaviah): 74.

that the person dedicated to God may be capable and equipped for every good work.

The men of Judah approached Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him,“ You know what the LORD said about you and me to Moses, the man of God, at Kadesh Barnea.

But you, as a person dedicated to God, keep away from all that. Instead pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness.

Then the Levites– Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Kenani– stood on the steps and called out loudly to the LORD their God.

When the builders established the LORD’s temple, the priests, ceremonially attired and with their clarions, and the Levites( the sons of Asaph) with their cymbals, stood to praise the LORD according to the instructions left by King David of Israel.With antiphonal response they sang, praising and glorifying the LORD:“ For he is good; his loyal love toward Israel is forever.” All the people gave a loud shout as they praised the LORD when the temple of the LORD was established.

As his father David had decreed, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests to do their assigned tasks, the Levitical orders to lead worship and help the priests with their daily tasks, and the divisions of the gatekeepers to serve at their assigned gates. This was what David the man of God had ordered.

This is the blessing Moses the man of God pronounced upon the Israelites before his death.

David and the army officers selected some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun to prophesy as they played stringed instruments and cymbals. The following men were assigned this responsibility:From the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asarelah. The sons of Asaph were supervised by Asaph, who prophesied under the king’s supervision.From the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah– six in all, under supervision of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied as he played a harp, giving thanks and praise to the LORD.From the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth.All these were the sons of Heman, the king’s prophet. God had promised him these sons in order to make him prestigious. God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.All of these were under the supervision of their fathers; they were musicians in the LORD’s temple, playing cymbals and stringed instruments as they served in God’s temple. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the supervision of the king.They and their relatives, all of them skilled and trained to make music to the LORD, numbered two hundred eighty-eight.They cast lots to determine their responsibilities– oldest as well as youngest, teacher as well as student.The first lot went to Asaph’s son Joseph and his relatives and sons– twelve in all, the second to Gedaliah and his relatives and sons– twelve in all,the third to Zaccur and his sons and relatives– twelve in all,the fourth to Izri and his sons and relatives– twelve in all,the fifth to Nethaniah and his sons and relatives– twelve in all,the sixth to Bukkiah and his sons and relatives– twelve in all,the seventh to Jesharelah and his sons and relatives– twelve in all,the eighth to Jeshaiah and his sons and relatives– twelve in all,the ninth to Mattaniah and his sons and relatives– twelve in all,the tenth to Shimei and his sons and relatives– twelve in all,the eleventh to Azarel and his sons and relatives– twelve in all,the twelfth to Hashabiah and his sons and relatives– twelve in all,the thirteenth to Shubael and his sons and relatives– twelve in all,the fourteenth to Mattithiah and his sons and relatives– twelve in all,the fifteenth to Jerimoth and his sons and relatives– twelve in all,the sixteenth to Hananiah and his sons and relatives– twelve in all,the seventeenth to Joshbekashah and his sons and relatives– twelve in all,the eighteenth to Hanani and his sons and relatives– twelve in all,the nineteenth to Mallothi and his sons and relatives– twelve in all,

The woman said to Elijah,“ Now I know that you are a prophet and that the LORD really does speak through you.”

And the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who together with his colleagues was in charge of the songs of thanksgiving.Bakbukiah and Unni, their colleagues, stood opposite them in the services.

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.The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the oldest, Zetham, and Joel– three in all.The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran– three in all. These were the leaders of the family of Ladan.The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were Shimei’s sons– four in all.Jahath was the oldest and Zizah the second oldest. Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were considered one family with one responsibility.The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel– four in all.The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were chosen on a permanent basis to consecrate the most holy items, to offer sacrifices before the LORD, to serve him, and to praise his name.The descendants of Moses the man of God were considered Levites.The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.The son of Gershom: Shebuel the oldest.The son of Eliezer was Rehabiah, the oldest. Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah had many descendants.The son of Izhar: Shelomith the oldest.The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the oldest, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.The sons of Uzziel: Micah the oldest, and Isshiah the second.The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.Eleazar died without having sons; he had only daughters. The sons of Kish, their cousins, married them.The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth– three in all.These were the descendants of Levi according to their families, that is, the leaders of families as counted and individually listed who carried out assigned tasks in the LORD’s temple and were twenty years old and up.For David said,“ The LORD God of Israel has given his people rest and has permanently settled in Jerusalem.So the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the items used in its service.”According to David’s final instructions, the Levites twenty years old and up were counted.Their job was to help Aaron’s descendants in the service of the LORD’s temple. They were to take care of the courtyards, the rooms, ceremonial purification of all holy items, and other jobs related to the service of God’s temple.They also took care of the bread that is displayed, the flour for offerings, the unleavened wafers, the round cakes, the mixing, and all the measuring.They also stood in a designated place every morning and offered thanks and praise to the LORD. They also did this in the eveningand whenever burnt sacrifices were offered to the LORD on the Sabbath and at new moon festivals and assemblies. A designated number were to serve before the LORD regularly in accordance with regulations.They were in charge of the meeting tent and the holy place, and helped their relatives, the descendants of Aaron, in the service of the LORD’s temple.
