Part 27

13:022:015 Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work.

13:022:016 Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.

13:022:017 David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

13:022:018 Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.

13:022:019 Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.

13:023:001 So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

13:023:002 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.

13:023:003 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.

13:023:004 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:

13:023:005 Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.

13:023:006 And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

13:023:007 Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.

13:023:008 The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.

13:023:009 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.

13:023:010 And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

13:023:011 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.

13:023:012 The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

13:023:013 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.

13:023:014 Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.

13:023:015 The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.

13:023:016 Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.

13:023:017 And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

13:023:018 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.

13:023:019 Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

13:023:020 Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first and Jesiah the second.

13:023:021 The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.

13:023:022 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.

13:023:023 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
