22
Then David said, This
is
the house of the LORD God, and this
is
the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.
2
And David commanded to gather together the strangers that
were
in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.
3
And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;
4
Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.
5
And David said, Solomon my son
is
young and tender, and the house
that is
to be builded for the LORD
must be
exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will
therefore
now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.
6
Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel.
7
And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:
8
But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
9
Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.
10
He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I
will be
his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.
11
Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.
12
Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.
13
Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.
14
Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.
15
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.
16
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.
17
David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son,
saying,
18
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.
19
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.
23
So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3
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.
4
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:
5
Moreover four thousand
were
porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made,
said David,
to praise
therewith.
6
And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi,
namely,
Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7
Of the Gershonites
were,
Laadan, and Shimei.
8
The sons of Laadan; the chief
was
Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9
The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These
were
the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
10
And the sons of Shimei
were,
Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four
were
the sons of Shimei.
11
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.
12
The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
13
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.
14
Now
concerning
Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
15
The sons of Moses
were,
Gershom, and Eliezer.
16
Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel
was
the chief.
17
And the sons of Eliezer
were,
Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18
Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.
19
Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20
Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first, and Jesiah the second.
21
The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.
22
And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
23
The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24
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.
25
For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:
26
And also unto the Levites; they shall no
more
carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.
27
For by the last words of David the Levites
were
numbered from twenty years old and above:
28
Because their office
was
to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;
29
Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for
that which is baked in
the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;
30
And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even;
31
And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD:
32
And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy
place,
and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD.
24
Now
these are
the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest’s office.
3
And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.
4
And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and
thus
were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar
there were
sixteen chief men of the house of
their
fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.
5
Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors
of the house
of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
6
And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe,
one
of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and
before
the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and
one
taken for Ithamar.
7
Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
8
The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
9
The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
10
The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
11
The ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,
12
The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
13
The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,
14
The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
15
The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,
16
The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,
17
The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul,
18
The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.
19
These
were
the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.
20
And the rest of the sons of Levi
were these:
Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah.
21
Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first
was
Isshiah.
22
Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath.
23
And the sons
of Hebron;
Jeriah
the first,
Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
24
Of
the sons of Uzziel; Michah: of the sons of Michah; Shamir.
25
The brother of Michah
was
Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah.
26
The sons of Merari
were
Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno.
27
The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.
28
Of Mahli
came
Eleazar, who had no sons.
29
Concerning Kish: the son of Kish
was
Jerahmeel.
30
The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These
were
the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers.
31
These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren.
25
Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:
2
Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king.
3
Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD.
4
Of Heman: the sons of Heman; Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir,
and
Mahazioth:
5
All these
were
the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.
6
All these
were
under the hands of their father for song
in
the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king’s order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.
7
So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD,
even
all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.
8
And they cast lots, ward against
ward,
as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.
9
Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph: the second to Gedaliah, who with his brethren and sons
were
twelve:

26
Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites
was
Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.
2
And the sons of Meshelemiah
were,
Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
3
Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh.
4
Moreover the sons of Obed-edom
were,
Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth,
5
Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth: for God blessed him.
6
Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they
were
mighty men of valour.
7
The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren
were
strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah.
8
All these of the sons of Obed-edom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service,
were
threescore and two of Obed-edom.
9
And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen.
10
Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the chief, (for
though
he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;)
11
Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah
were
thirteen.
12
Among these
were
the divisions of the porters,
even
among the chief men,
having
wards one against another, to minister in the house of the LORD.
13
And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.
14
And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.
15
To Obed-edom southward; and to his sons the house of Asuppim.
16
To Shuppim and Hosah
the lot came forth
westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward against ward.
17
Eastward
were
six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and toward Asuppim two
and
two.
18
At Parbar westward, four at the causeway,
and
two at Parbar.
19
These
are
the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore, and among the sons of Merari.
20
And of the Levites, Ahijah
was
over the treasures of the house of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things.
21
As concerning
the sons of Laadan; the sons of the Gershonite Laadan, chief fathers,
even
of Laadan the Gershonite,
were
Jehieli.
22
The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother,
which were
over the treasures of the house of the LORD.
23
Of the Amramites,
and
the Izharites, the Hebronites,
and
the Uzzielites:
24
And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses,
was
ruler of the treasures.
25
And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son.
26
Which Shelomith and his brethren
were
over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the host, had dedicated.
27
Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the LORD.
28
And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated;
and
whosoever had dedicated
any thing, it was
under the hand of Shelomith, and of his brethren.
29
Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons
were
for the outward business over Israel, for officers and judges.
30
And
of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, men of valour, a thousand and seven hundred,
were
officers among them of Israel on this side Jordan westward in all the business of the LORD, and in the service of the king.
31
Among the Hebronites
was
Jerijah the chief,
even
among the Hebronites, according to the generations of his fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought for, and there were found among them mighty men of valour at Jazer of Gilead.
32
And his brethren, men of valour,
were
two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king.
27
Now the children of Israel after their number,
to wit,
the chief fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds, and their officers that served the king in any matter of the courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, of every course
were
twenty and four thousand.
2
Over the first course for the first month
was
Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel: and in his course
were
twenty and four thousand.
3
Of the children of Perez
was
the chief of all the captains of the host for the first month.
4
And over the course of the second month
was
Dodai an Ahohite, and of his course
was
Mikloth also the ruler: in his course likewise
were
twenty and four thousand.
5
The third captain of the host for the third month
was
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a chief priest: and in his course
were
twenty and four thousand.
6
This
is that
Benaiah,
who was
mighty
among
the thirty, and above the thirty: and in his course
was
Ammizabad his son.
7
The fourth

for the fourth month
was
Asahel the brother of Joab, and Zebadiah his son after him: and in his course

twenty and four thousand.

9

10

Helez the Pelonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in his course
were
twenty and four thousand.
11
The eighth
captain
for the eighth month

were
twenty and four thousand.
12
The ninth
captain
for the ninth month
was
Abiezer the Anetothite, of the Benjamites: and in his course
were
twenty and four thousand.
13
The tenth
captain
for the tenth month
was
Maharai the Netophathite, of the Zarhites: and in his course
were
twenty and four thousand.
14
The eleventh
captain
for the eleventh month
was
Benaiah the Pirathonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in his course
were
twenty and four thousand.
15
The twelfth
captain
for the twelfth month
was
Heldai the Netophathite, of Othniel: and in his course
were
twenty and four thousand.
16
Furthermore over the tribes of Israel: the ruler of the Reubenites
was
Eliezer the son of Zichri: of the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maachah:
17
Of the Levites, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel: of the Aaronites, Zadok:
18
Of Judah, Elihu,
one
of the brethren of David: of Issachar, Omri the son of Michael:
19
Of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah: of Naphtali, Jerimoth the son of Azriel:
20
Of the children of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah: of the half tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah:
21
Of the half
tribe
of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah: of Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner:
22
Of Dan, Azareel the son of Jeroham. These
were
the princes of the tribes of Israel.
23
But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under: because the LORD had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of the heavens.
24
Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he finished not, because there fell wrath for it against Israel; neither was the number put in the account of the chronicles of king David.
25
And over the king’s treasures
was
Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles,
was
Jehonathan the son of Uzziah:
26
And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of the ground
was
Ezri the son of Chelub:
27
And over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: over the increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars
was
Zabdi the Shiphmite:
28
And over the olive trees and the sycomore trees that
were
in the low plains
was
Baal-hanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil
was
Joash:
29
And over the herds that fed in Sharon
was
Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the herds
that were
in the valleys
was
Shaphat the son of Adlai:
30
Over the camels also was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the asses
was
Jehdeiah the Meronothite:
31
And over the flocks
was
Jaziz the Hagerite. All these
were
the rulers of the substance which
was
king David’s.
32
Also Jonathan David’s uncle was a counsellor, a wise man, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni
was
with the king’s sons:
33
And Ahithophel
was
the king’s counsellor: and Hushai the Archite
was
the king’s companion:
34
And after Ahithophel
was
Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the general of the king’s army
was
Joab.
