* And David made him houses in the city of David , and prepared a place for the ark of God , and pitched for it a tent . * Then David said , None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites : for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God , and to minister unto him for ever . * And David gathered # all Israel together to Jerusalem , to bring up the ark of the LORD unto his place , which he had prepared for it . * And David assembled the children of Aaron , and the Levites : * Of the sons of Kohath ; Uriel #Uwriy #el # the chief , and his brethren an hundred and twenty : * Of the sons of Merari ; Asaiah the chief , and his brethren two hundred and twenty : * Of the sons of Gershom ; Joel the chief , and his brethren an hundred and thirty : * Of the sons of Elizaphan ; Shemaiah the chief , and his brethren two hundred me #ah #: * Of the sons of Hebron ; Eliel #Eliy #el # the chief , and his brethren fourscore : * Of the sons of Uzziel #Uzziy #el #; Amminadab the chief , and his brethren an hundred and twelve sh @nayim #. * And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests , and for the Levites , for Uriel #Uwriy #el #, Asaiah , and Joel Yow #el #, Shemaiah Sh @ma #yah #, and Eliel #Eliy #el #, and Amminadab , * And said unto them , Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites : sanctify yourselves , both ye and your brethren , that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for it . * For because ye did it not at the first ri #shown #, the LORD our God made a breach upon us , for that we sought him not after the due order . * So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel Yisra #el #. * And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon , as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD . * And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of musick , psalteries and harps and cymbals , sounding , by lifting up the voice with joy . * So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel Yow #el #; and of his brethren , Asaph the son of Berechiah ; and of the sons of Merari their brethren , Ethan the son of Kushaiah ;
