2He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites. 3The Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand. 4David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of Yahweh’s house, six thousand were officers and judges, 5four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised Yahweh with the instruments which I made for giving praise.” 6David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
