1 Chronicles 23:5-18
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 23
5and four thousand were gatekeepers, and four thousand were praising the Lord with the instruments which David made for giving praise. 6David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7Of the Gershonites there were Ladan and Shimei.
8The sons of Ladan were Jehiel the first, and Zetham and Joel, three.
9The sons of Shimei were Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.
10The sons of Shimei were Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
11Jahath was the first and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became a father’s household, one group for duty.
12The sons of Kohath were four in number: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
13The sons of Amram were Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was set apart to sanctify him as most holy, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the Lord, to serve Him and bless in His name forever.
14But as for Moses, the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
15The sons of Moses were Gershom and Eliezer.
16The son of Gershom was Shebuel the chief.
17The son of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18The son of Izhar was Shelomith the chief.
King James Version
Chapter 23
5Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the Lord with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith. 6And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
10And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
11And 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.
13The 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.
14Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
15The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.
16Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
17And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.

Chapter 23
5Another 4,000 will work as gatekeepers, and 4,000 will praise the Lord with the musical instruments I have made.' 6Then David divided the Levites into divisions named after the clans descended from the three sons of Levi — Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7The Gershonite family units were defined by their lines of descent from Libni and Shimei, the sons of Gershon.
8Three of the descendants of Libni were Jehiel (the family leader), Zetham, and Joel.
9These were the leaders of the family of Libni. Three of the descendants of Shimei were Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran.
10Four other descendants of Shimei were Jahath, Ziza, Jeush, and Beriah.
11Jahath was the family leader, and Ziza was next. Jeush and Beriah were counted as a single family because neither had many sons.
