1 Chronicles 23:1-6 King James Version (KJV)
23 So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.
4 Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges:
5 Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.
6 And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

2 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward; and their number by their head count, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand,
4 of whom twenty and four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of the LORD, and six thousand were officers and judges.
5 Moreover four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments “which I made,” said David, “to praise therewith.”
6 And David divided them into divisions among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
1 Solomon may have become king before David actually died, David may have retired and gave the throne to Solomon. Solomon was chosen to be king by God earlier and this is why David puts Solomon as king.
2 David still had respect even though he had given up the throne.
3 This was 38000 men to be set apart for serving the Lord. We are as Christians are all called to serve the Lord.
4 More then half would work in the temple, this was a very important role. The Levites were to use God’s word to make judgments on the law. Then there were those that guarded the gates to keep out those who didn’t need to go in and those would lead worship all things that were important.
5 These are the three main divisions and they would remain thru the temple standing. Gershon would work the outside they would be the gate keepers. Kohath were used to carry and hold the vessels. Merari were the high priests.
