And David was old and satisfied with days, and he causes his son Solomon to reign over Israel,
2 Et congregavit omnes principes Israel, et Sacerdotes atque Levitas.

and the Levites are numbered from a son of thirty years and upward, and their number, for their counted heads, is of thirty-eight thousand mighty men.

Of these, twenty-four thousand [are] to preside over the work of the house of YHWH, and six thousand officers and judges,
5 Porro quattuor millia ianitores: et totidem psaltes canentes Domino in organis, quae fecerat ad canendum.
