16 UDavide waxelela iintloko zabaLevi ukuba zimise abantakwazo abaziimvumi ukuba bacule bevuya, kudlalwe nezixhobo zomculo: imirhubhe, iihadi+ namacangci.+

17 Ngoko abaLevi bakhetha uHeman+ unyana kaYoweli yaye kubantakwabo bakhetha uAsafu+ unyana kaBherekiya, ibe kumaMerari abantakwabo bakhetha uEtan+ unyana kaKushaya.

3 Aba ngabaphathi bamaphondo* ababehlala eYerusalem: (Amanye amaSirayeli, abaLevi, abasebenzi basetempileni*+ noonyana bezicaka zikaSolomon,+ babehlala kwezinye izixeko zakwaYuda, ngamnye enomhlaba wakhe kwisixeko sakhe.+

17 uMataniya+ unyana kaMika unyana kaZabhedi unyana ka-Asafu+ ongumbhexeshi wekwayara yokudumisa xa kuthandazwa,+ uBhakebhukiya owayelisekela lakhe, noAbheda unyana kaShamuwa unyana kaGalali unyana kaYedutun.+
