And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons:

So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.Of which, twenty and four thousand[ were] to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand[ were] officers and judges:Moreover four thousand[ were] porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made,[ said David], to praise[ therewith].And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi,[ namely], Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.Of the Gershonites[ were], Laadan, and Shimei.The sons of Laadan; the chief[ was] Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These[ were] the chief of the fathers of Laadan.And the sons of Shimei[ were], Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four[ were] the sons of Shimei.And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to[ their] father’s house.The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.Now[ concerning] Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.The sons of Moses[ were], Gershom, and Eliezer.Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel[ was] the chief.And the sons of Eliezer[ were], Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah the first, and Jesiah the second.The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.These[ were] the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers;[ even] the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward.For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:And also unto the Levites; they shall no[ more] carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.

Now these[ are] the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,Shechaniah, Rehum, Meremoth,Iddo, Ginnetho, Abijah,Miamin, Maadiah, Bilgah,Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah,Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These[ were] the chief of the priests and of their brethren in the days of Jeshua.Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah,[ and] Mattaniah,[ which was] over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren.Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren,[ were] over against them in the watches.And Jeshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim also begat Eliashib, and Eliashib begat Joiada,And Joiada begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua.And in the days of Joiakim were priests, the chief of the fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;Of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;Of Melicu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;Of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;Of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;Of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai;Of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan;And of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi;Of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;Of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethaneel.The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua,[ were] recorded chief of the fathers: also the priests, to the reign of Darius the Persian.The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers,[ were] written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise[ and] to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward.Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub,[ were] porters keeping the ward at the thresholds of the gates.These[ were] in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.
