1 Chronicles 231 Chronicles 241 Chronicles 25Luke 12.1-211 Chronicles 23
1
So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
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.
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:
5
Moreover four thousand [were] porters and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, [said David], to praise [therewith].
6
And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, [namely], Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7
Of the Gershonites [were], Laadan, and Shimei.
8
The sons of Laadan the chief [was] Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9
The sons of Shimei Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These [were] the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
10
And the sons of Shimei [were], Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four [were] the sons of Shimei.
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.
12
The sons of Kohath Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
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.
14
Now [concerning] Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
15
The sons of Moses [were], Gershom, and Eliezer.
16
Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel [was] the chief.
17
And the sons of Eliezer [were], Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18
Of the sons of Izhar Shelomith the chief.
19
Of the sons of Hebron Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20
Of the sons of Uzziel Michah the first, and Jesiah the second.
21
The sons of Merari Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli Eleazar, and Kish.
22
And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
23
The sons of Mushi Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
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.
25
For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:
26
And also unto the Levites they shall no [more] carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.
27
For by the last words of David the Levites [were] numbered from twenty years old and above:
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
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
30
And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even
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:
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.
1 Chronicles 24
1
Now [these are] the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
3
And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.
4
And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar and [thus] were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar [there were] sixteen chief men of the house of [their] fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.
5
Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors [of the house] of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
6
And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, [one] of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and [before] the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and [one] taken for Ithamar.
7
Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
8
The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
9
The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
10
The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
11
The ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,
12
The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
13
The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,
14
The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
15
The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,
16
The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,
17
The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul,
18
The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.
19
These [were] the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.
20
And the rest of the sons of Levi [were these]: Of the sons of Amram Shubael: of the sons of Shubael Jehdeiah.
21
Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first [was] Isshiah.
22
Of the Izharites Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth Jahath.
23
And the sons [of Hebron] Jeriah [the first], Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
24
[Of] the sons of Uzziel Michah: of the sons of Michah Shamir.
25
The brother of Michah [was] Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah Zechariah.
26
The sons of Merari [were] Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah Beno.
27
The sons of Merari by Jaaziah Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.
28
Of Mahli [came] Eleazar, who had no sons.
29
Concerning Kish: the son of Kish [was] Jerahmeel.
30
The sons also of Mushi Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These [were] the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers.
31
These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren.
1 Chronicles 25
1
Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:
2
Of the sons of Asaph Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king.
3
Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD.
4
Of Heman: the sons of Heman Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamtiezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, [and] Mahazioth:
5
All these [were] the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.
6
All these [were] under the hands of their father for song [in] the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.
7
So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD, [even] all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.
8
And they cast lots, ward against [ward], as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.
9
Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph: the second to Gedaliah, who with his brethren and sons [were] twelve:

Luke 12
1-21
1
In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed neither hid, that shall not be known.
3
Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4
And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
6
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8
Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9
But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
10
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
11
And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and [unto] magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12
For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
13
And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14
And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years take thine ease, eat, drink, [and] be merry.
20
But God said unto him, [Thou] fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21
So [is] he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
