1 Chronicles 23:26-28

Living Bible

²⁶ Now the Levites will no longer need to carry the Tabernacle and its instruments from place to place.”

²⁷ (This census of the tribe of Levi was one of the last things David did before his death.) ²⁸ The work of the Levites was to assist the priests—the descendants of Aaron—in the sacrifices at the Temple; they also did the custodial work and helped perform the ceremonies of purification.
