1 Chronicles 23:3-6

WEB(i) 3 The Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand. 4 David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of Yahweh’s house, six thousand were officers and judges, 5 four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised Yahweh with the instruments which I made for giving praise.” 6 David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
