KJV ¹ So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

VULC ¹ Igitur David, senex et plenus dierum, regem constituit Salomonem filium suum super Israël.

KJV ² And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.

VULC ² Et congregavit omnes principes Israël, et sacerdotes atque Levitas.

KJV 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.

VULC ³ Numeratique sunt Levitæ a triginta annis et supra : et inventa sunt triginta octo millia virorum.

KJV 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:

VULC ⁴ Ex his electi sunt, et distributi in ministerium domus Domini, viginti quatuor millia : præpositorum autem et judicum, sex millia.

KJV ⁵ Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.

VULC ⁵ Porro quatuor millia janitores, et totidem psaltæ, canentes Domino in organis quæ fecerat ad canendum.

KJV ⁶ And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

VULC ⁶ Et distribuit eos David per vices filiorum Levi, Gerson videlicet, et Caath, et Merari.

KJV ⁷ Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.

VULC ⁷ Filii Gerson : Leedan, et Semei.

KJV ⁸ The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.

VULC ⁸ Filii Leedan : princeps Jahiel, et Zethan, et Joël, tres.

KJV ⁹ The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.

VULC ⁹ Filii Semei : Salomith, et Hosiel, et Aran, tres : isti principes familiarum Leedan.

KJV ¹⁰ And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

VULC ¹⁰ Porro filii Semei : Leheth, et Ziza, et Jaus, et Baria : isti filii Semei, quatuor.

KJV 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.

VULC ¹¹ Erat autem Leheth prior, Ziza secundus : porro Jaus et Baria non habuerunt plurimos filios, et idcirco in una familia, unaque domo computati sunt.

KJV ¹² The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

VULC ¹² Filii Caath : Amram, et Isaar, Hebron, et Oziel, quatuor.

KJV ¹³ The 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.

VULC ¹³ Filii Amram : Aaron et Moyses. Separatusque est Aaron ut ministraret in Sancto sanctorum, ipse et filii ejus in sempiternum, et adoleret incensum Domino secundum ritum suum, ac benediceret nomini ejus in perpetuum.

KJV ¹⁴ Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.

VULC ¹⁴ Moysi quoque hominis Dei filii annumerati sunt in tribu Levi.

KJV ¹⁵ The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.

VULC ¹⁵ Filii Moysi : Gersom et Eliezer.

KJV ¹⁶ Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.

VULC ¹⁶ Filii Gersom : Subuel primus.

KJV ¹⁷ And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

VULC ¹⁷ Fuerunt autem filii Eliezer : Rohobia primus : et non erant Eliezer filii alii. Porro filii Rohobia multiplicati sunt nimis.

KJV ¹⁸ Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.

VULC ¹⁸ Filii Isaar : Salomith primus.

KJV ¹⁹ Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

VULC ¹⁹ Filii Hebron : Jeriau primus, Amarias secundus, Jahaziel tertius, Jecmaam quartus.

KJV ²⁰ Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first and Jesiah the second.

VULC ²⁰ Filii Oziel : Micha primus, Jesia secundus.

KJV ²¹ The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.

VULC ²¹ Filii Merari : Moholi, et Musi. Filii Moholi : Eleazar et Cis.

KJV ²² And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.

VULC ²² Mortuus est autem Eleazar, et non habuit filios, sed filias : acceperuntque eas filii Cis fratres earum.

KJV ²³ The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.

VULC ²³ Filii Musi : Moholi, et Eder, et Jerimoth, tres.

KJV 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.

VULC ²⁴ Hi filii Levi in cognationibus et familiis suis, principes per vices, et numerum capitum singulorum qui faciebant opera ministerii domus Domini, a viginti annis et supra.

KJV ²⁵ For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:

VULC ²⁵ Dixit enim David : Requiem dedit Dominus Deus Israël populo suo, et habitationem Jerusalem usque in æternum.

KJV ²⁶ And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.

VULC ²⁶ Nec erit officii Levitarum ut ultra portent tabernaculum et omnia vasa ejus ad ministrandum.

KJV ²⁷ For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:

VULC ²⁷ Juxta præcepta quoque David novissima, supputabitur numerus filiorum Levi a viginti annis et supra.

KJV ²⁸ Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;

VULC ²⁸ Et erunt sub manu filiorum Aaron in cultum domus Domini, in vestibulis, et in exedris, et in loco purificationis, et in sanctuario, et in universis operibus ministerii templi Domini.

KJV ²⁹ Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;

VULC ²⁹ Sacerdotes autem, super panes propositionis, et ad similæ sacrificium, et ad lagana azyma, et sartaginem, et ad torrendum, et super omne pondus atque mensuram.

KJV ³⁰ And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even:

VULC ³⁰ Levitæ vero ut stent mane ad confitendum et canendum Domino : similiterque ad vesperam,

KJV ³¹ And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD:

VULC ³¹ tam in oblatione holocaustorum Domini, quam in sabbatis et calendis et solemnitatibus reliquis juxta numerum et cæremonias uniuscujusque rei, jugiter coram Domino.

KJV ³² And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD.

VULC ³² Et custodiant observationes tabernaculi fœderis, et ritum sanctuarii, et observationem filiorum Aaron fratrum suorum, ut ministrent in domo Domini.
