1 Chronicles 23:2-27

[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  [6] And David  divided  them into courses  among the sons  of Levi,  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;  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  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;  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;  Michah  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  [27] For by the last  words  of David  the Levites  were numbered  from twenty  years  old  and above:
