1 Chronicles 15:2-13

2ThenH227 DavidH1732 saidH559, None ought to carryH5375 the arkH727 of GodH430 but the LevitesH3881: for them hath Jehovah chosenH977 to carryH5375 the arkH727 of GodH430, and to minister unto him for everH5769.

3And DavidH1732 assembledH6950 all IsraelH3478 at JerusalemH3389, to bringH5927 up the arkH727 of Jehovah unto its placeH4725, which he had preparedH3559 for it.

4And DavidH1732 gatheredH622 together the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881:

5of the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955, UrielH222 the chiefH8269, and his brethren a hundredH3967 and twentyH6242;

6of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847, AsaiahH6222 the chiefH8269, and his brethren twoH3967 hundredH3967 and twentyH6242;

7of the sonsH1121 of Gershom, JoelH3100 the chiefH8269, and his brethren a hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970;

8of the sonsH1121 of ElizaphanH469, ShemaiahH8098 the chiefH8269, and his brethren twoH3967 hundredH3967;

9of the sonsH1121 of HebronH2275, ElielH447 the chiefH8269, and his brethren fourscore;

10of the sonsH1121 of UzzielH5816, AmminadabH5992 the chiefH8269, and his brethren a hundredH3967 and twelve.

11And DavidH1732 calledH7121 for ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 the priestsH3548, and for the LevitesH3881, for UrielH222, AsaiahH6222, and JoelH3100, ShemaiahH8098, and ElielH447, and AmminadabH5992,

12and saidH559 unto them, Ye are the headsH7218 of the fathers’H1 houses of the LevitesH3881: sanctifyH6942 yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bringH5927 up the arkH727 of Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, unto the place that I have preparedH3559 for it.

13For because ye bare it not at the firstH7223, Jehovah our GodH430 made a breach upon us, for that we soughtH1875 him not according to the ordinanceH4941.
