1 Chronicles 23:3-6 David Organizes the Levites

3 The Levites thirty years old or more were counted, and the total number of men was thirty-eight thousand.

4 David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand are to supervise the work of the temple of the Lord and six thousand are to be officials and judges.

5 Four thousand are to be gatekeepers and four thousand are to praise the Lord with the musical instruments I have provided for that purpose.”

6 David divided the Levites into groups corresponding to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath and Merari.
