²⁵David had said, “The Lord, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people. He has come to live in Jerusalem forever. ²⁶So the Levites don’t need to carry the Holy Tent or any of the things used in its services anymore.” ²⁷David’s last instructions were to count the Levites who were twenty years old and older.

²⁸The Levites had the job of helping Aaron’s descendants in the service of the Temple of the Lord. They cared for the Temple courtyard and side rooms, and they made all the holy things pure. Their job was to serve in the Temple of God. ²⁹They were responsible for putting the holy bread on the table, for the flour in the grain offerings, for the bread made without yeast, for the baking and mixing, and for the measuring. ³⁰The Levites also stood every morning and gave thanks and praise to the Lord. They also did this every evening. ³¹The Levites offered all the burnt offerings to the Lord on the special days of rest, at the New Moon festivals, and at all appointed feasts. They served before the Lord every day. They were to follow the rules for how many Levites should serve each time.
