David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

Now the divisions of the descendants of Aaron were these: the sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.But Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their offices for their ministry.Since more chief men were found from the descendants of Eleazar than the descendants of Ithamar, they divided them this way: there were sixteen heads of fathers’ households of the descendants of Eleazar, and eight of the descendants of Ithamar according to their fathers’ households.So they were divided by lot, the one as the other; for they were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God, both from the descendants of Eleazar and the descendants of Ithamar.Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel the scribe, from the Levites, recorded them in the presence of the king, the leaders, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the priests and the Levites; one father’s household taken for Eleazar and one taken for Ithamar.Now the first lot came out for Jehoiarib, the second for Jedaiah,the third for Harim, the fourth for Seorim,the fifth for Malchijah, the sixth for Mijamin,the seventh for Hakkoz, the eighth for Abijah,the ninth for Jeshua, the tenth for Shecaniah,the eleventh for Eliashib, the twelfth for Jakim,the thirteenth for Huppah, the fourteenth for Jeshebeab,the fifteenth for Bilgah, the sixteenth for Immer,the seventeenth for Hezir, the eighteenth for Happizzez,the nineteenth for Pethahiah, the twentieth for Jehezkel,the twenty first for Jachin, the twenty second for Gamul,the twenty third for Delaiah, and the twenty fourth for Maaziah.These were their offices for their ministry when they entered the house of the Lord according to the ordinance given to them through their father Aaron, just as the Lord God of Israel had commanded him.

And on the fourth day the silver, the gold, and the utensils were weighed out in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them were the Levites, Jozabad the son of Jeshua and Noadiah the son of Binnui.

and I weighed out to them the silver, the gold, and the utensils, the offering for the house of our God which the king, his counselors, his officials, and all Israel who were present there had contributed.So I weighed into their hands 650 talents of silver, and silver utensils worth a hundred talents, and a hundred gold talents,and twenty gold bowls worth a thousand darics, and two utensils of fine shiny bronze, precious as gold.Then I said to them,“ You are holy to the Lord, and the utensils are holy; and the silver and the gold are a voluntary offering to the Lord God of your fathers.Watch and keep them until you weigh them before the leading priests, the Levites, and the leaders of the fathers’ households of Israel in Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the Lord.”So the priests and the Levites accepted the weight of silver and gold and the utensils, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.

Moreover, David and the commanders of the army set apart for the service some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, who were to prophesy with lyres, harps, and cymbals; and the number of those who performed this service was:Of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah; the sons of Asaph were under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied under the direction of the king.Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six in all, under the direction of their father Jeduthun with the harp, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising the Lord.Of Heman, the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti and Romamti ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth.All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer to exalt him according to the words of God, for God gave fourteen sons and three daughters to Heman.All of these were under the direction of their father to sing in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, harps, and lyres, for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the direction of the king.Their number who were trained in singing to the Lord, with their relatives, all who were skillful, was 288.They cast lots for their duties, all alike, the small as well as the great, the teacher as well as the pupil.Now the first lot came out for Asaph to Joseph, the second for Gedaliah, he with his relatives and sons were twelve;the third to Zaccur, his sons and his relatives, twelve;the fourth to Izri, his sons and his relatives, twelve;the fifth to Nethaniah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;the sixth to Bukkiah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;the seventh to Jesharelah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;the eighth to Jeshaiah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;the ninth to Mattaniah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;the tenth to Shimei, his sons and his relatives, twelve;the eleventh to Azarel, his sons and his relatives, twelve;the twelfth to Hashabiah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;for the thirteenth, Shubael, his sons and his relatives, twelve;for the fourteenth, Mattithiah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;for the fifteenth to Jeremoth, his sons and his relatives, twelve;for the sixteenth to Hananiah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;for the seventeenth to Joshbekashah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;for the eighteenth to Hanani, his sons and his relatives, twelve;for the nineteenth to Mallothi, his sons and his relatives, twelve;for the twentieth to Eliathah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;for the twenty first to Hothir, his sons and his relatives, twelve;for the twenty second to Giddalti, his sons and his relatives, twelve;for the twenty third to Mahazioth, his sons and his relatives, twelve;for the twenty fourth to Romamti ezer, his sons and his relatives, twelve.

Now Solomon built his own house over the course of thirteen years, and he finished all of his house.He built the house of the timber from Lebanon; its length was a hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars.And it was paneled with cedar above the side chambers which were on the forty five pillars, fifteen in each row.There were artistic window frames in three rows, and window was opposite window at three intervals.And all the doorways and doorposts had squared artistic frames, and window was opposite window at three intervals.Then he made the hall of pillars; its length was fifty cubits and its width thirty cubits, and a porch was in front of them and pillars and a threshold in front of them.And he made the hall of the throne where he was to judge, the hall of judgment, and it was paneled with cedar from floor to floor.And his house where he was to live, the other courtyard inward from the hall, was of this same workmanship. He also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom Solomon had married.All of these were made of valuable stones, of stone cut according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside; even from the foundation to the coping, and from the outside to the large courtyard.And the foundation was of valuable stones, large stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.And above were valuable stones, cut according to measure, and cedar.So the large courtyard all around had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams as well as the inner courtyard of the house of the Lord, and the porch of the house.Now King Solomon sent word and had Hiram brought from Tyre.He was a widow’s son from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, an artisan in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom, skill, and knowledge for doing any work in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and performed all his work.He fashioned the two pillars of bronze; eighteen cubits was the height of each pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of both.He also made two capitals of cast bronze to put on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits.There were lattices of latticework and wreaths of chainwork for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital.So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one lattice to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital.The capitals which were on the tops of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits.So there were capitals on the two pillars, also above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the lattice; and the pomegranates totaled two hundred in rows around both capitals.And he set up the pillars at the porch of the main room: he set up the right pillar and named it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz.On the top of the pillars was the lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished.He also he made the Sea of cast metal ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in shape, and its height was five cubits, and it was thirty cubits in circumference.Under its brim gourds went around encircling it ten to a cubit, completely surrounding the Sea; the gourds were in two rows, cast with the rest.It was standing on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the Sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward.And it was a hand width thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom; it could hold two thousand baths.Then he made the ten stands of bronze; the length of each stand was four cubits, its width four cubits, and its height was three cubits.This was the design of the stands: they had borders, that is, borders between the crossbars,and on the borders which were between the crossbars were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and on the crossbars there was a pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side.And its opening inside the crown at the top was a cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and on its opening also there were engravings, and their borders were square, not round.The four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were on the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast.Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself.And on the top of the stand there was a circular form half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its stays and its borders were part of it.And he engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders cherubim, lions, and palm trees, as there was clear space on each, with wreaths all around.He made the ten stands like this: all of them had the same casting, same measure, and same form.And he made ten basins of bronze, each holding forty baths; each basin was four cubits, and on each of the ten stands was one basin.Then he placed the stands, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house; and he set the Sea of cast metal on the right side of the house eastward toward the south.Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of the Lord:the two pillars and the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two lattices to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars;and the four hundred pomegranates for the two lattices, two rows of pomegranates for each lattice to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars;and the ten stands with the ten basins on the stands;and the one Sea and the twelve oxen under the Sea;and the buckets, the shovels, and the bowls; indeed, all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the Lord were of polished bronze.The king had them cast in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.However, Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; the weight of the bronze could not be determined.Solomon also made all the furniture that was in the house of the Lord: the golden altar and the golden table on which was set the bread of the Presence;and the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary; and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;also the cups, the shears, the bowls, the ladles, and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges both for the doors of the inner house, the Most Holy Place, and for the doors of the house, that is, for the main room, of gold.So all the work that King Solomon performed in the house of the Lord was finished. And Solomon brought in the offerings vowed by his father David, the silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.

Some of them also were appointed over the furniture and over all the utensils of the sanctuary, and over the finely milled flour, the wine, the olive oil, the frankincense, and the balsam oil.
