1 Chronicles 23:25-27

International Children’s Bible

²⁵ David had said, “The Lord is the God of Israel. He has given rest to his people. He has come to live in Jerusalem forever. ²⁶ So the Levites don’t need to carry the Holy Tent. They don’t need to carry any of the things used in its services anymore.” ²⁷ David’s last instructions were to count the Levites. All who were 20 years old and older were counted.
