1 Chronicles 23:2-6

Wycliffe Bible

² And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, and the priests, and deacons; (And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites;)

³ and the deacons were numbered from twenty years and above, and eight and thirty thousand of men were found of them. (and the Levites twenty years of age and older were counted, and thirty-eight thousand men were found of them.)

⁴ And four and twenty thousand men were chosen of them, and were parted into the service of the house of the Lord; and of sovereigns, and judges, six thousand; (And twenty-four thousand men were chosen from them, and were put in service in the House of the Lord; and six thousand were overseers, or officers, and judges, or magistrates;)

⁵ and four thousand that were porters of gates and doors, and so many singers, singing to the Lord in organs, which David had made for to sing with. (and four thousand were made the guards, or the doorkeepers, of the gates and the doors, and as many singers sang to the Lord with the instruments which David had made to sing with.)

⁶ And David parted them by the whiles of the sons of Levi, that is, of Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari. (And David divided them into three groups, or divisions, by the families of the Levites, that is, of Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.)
