  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Kohathites 
  the  descendants  of  Kohath.  They  formed  the  first  of  the  three 
  divisions  of  the  Levites  (Ex.  6:16,  18;  Num.  3:17).  In  the 
  journeyings  of  the  Israelites  they  had  the  charge  of  the  most 
  holy  portion  of  the  vessels  of  the  tabernacle,  including  the  ark 
  (Num.  4).  Their  place  in  the  marching  and  encampment  was  south 
  of  the  tabernacle  (Num.  3:29,  31).  Their  numbers  at  different 
  times  are  specified  (3:28;  4:36;  26:57,  62).  Samuel  was  of  this 
  division.
