*
And he made him houses ,
in the city of David ,
and prepared a place for the ark of God ,
and pitched for it a tent .
*
Then ,
said David ,
None must carry the ark of God ,
save the Levites ,
for ,
of them ,
did Yahweh make choice ,
to bear the ark of Yahweh ,
and to attend it ,
unto times age-abiding .
*
So David convoked all Israel ,
unto Jerusalem ,
to bring up the ark of Yahweh ,
unto the place thereof ,
which he had prepared for it .
*
And David gathered together the sons of Aaron ,
and the Levites :
*
Of the sons of Kohath ,
Uriel the chief ,
and his brethren ,
one 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 ,
one hundred and thirty ;
*
of the sons of Elizaphan ,
Shemaiah the chief ,
and his brethren ,
two hundred ;
*
of the sons of Hebron ,
Eliel the chief ,
and his brethren ,
eighty ;
*
of the son of Uzziel ,
Amminadab the chief ,
and his brethren ,
a hundred and twelve .
*
Then called David ,
for Zadok and for Abiathar ,
the priests ,
and for the Levites ,
for Uriel ,
Asaiah and Joel ,
Shemaiah and Eliel ,
and Amminadab ;
*
and said unto them ,
Ye ,
are the chiefs of the fathers of the Levites ,
Hallow yourselves ,
ye and your brethren ,
so shall ye bring up the ark of Yahweh God of Israel ,
into I have prepared for it .
*
Because ,
at the first ,
ye ,
did not ,
Yahweh our God brake forth against us ,
because we sought him not in the appointed way .
*
So the priests and the Levites hallowed themselves ,
to bring up the ark of Yahweh ,
God of Israel .
*
And the sons of the Levites bare the ark of God ,
just as Moses commanded ,
according to the word of Yahweh ,
on their shoulder ,
with the staves upon them .
*
And David spake to the chiefs of the Levites ,
to station their brethren the singers ,
with instruments of song ,
harps and lyres ,
and cymbals ,
sounding aloud at the lifting up of the voice ,
for joy .
