New American Standard Bible (NASB)
1 Chronicles 22
19 Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God; arise, therefore, and build the sanctuary of the Lord God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for the name of the Lord."
1 Chronicles 23
1 Now when David reached old age, he made his son Solomon king over Israel.
2 And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel with the priests and the Levites.
3 The Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward, and their number by census of men was 38,000.
4 Of these, 24,000 were to oversee the work of the house of the Lord; and 6,000 were officers and judges,
5 and 4,000 were gatekeepers, and 4,000 were praising the Lord with the instruments which David made for giving praise.
6 David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7 Of the Gershonites were Ladan and Shimei.
8 The sons of Ladan were Jehiel the first and Zetham and Joel, three.
9 The sons of Shimei were Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.
10 The sons of Shimei were Jahath, Zina, Jeush and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
