Sum of the digits

To give an answer to today's challenge you need to know what 'sum of the digits means'.
I'll give explain by giving you an example:

the sum of the digits in 34 is 7 because 3+4 =7;
the sum of the digits in 1362 is 12 because 1+3+6+2 =12.

Got it? Good.
Now you can have a go at the challenge!
Post you answers in the comments. Answers tomorrow.

Thursday Update
Correct me if I am wrong (which I may well be) but I think there are four possible answers:
4983;
4389;
4587;
4785.
  • They are all between 4,000 and 5,000
  • All the digits are different
  • The thousands digit has to be 4 which makes the tens digit 8
  • The sum of all the digits is 24 
  • All the numbers are odd.
