1 Chronicles 15:2-13

2ThenH227 DavidH1732 saidH559, “NoH3808 one butH3588H518 the LevitesH3881 may carryH5375 the arkH727 of GodH430, becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 has chosen themH977 to carryH5375 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 and to ministerH8334 before HimH5704 foreverH5769.”

3And DavidH1732 assembledH6950 allH3605 IsraelH3478 inH413 JerusalemH3389 to bring upH5927 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 toH413 the placeH4725 he had preparedH3559 for it. 4Then heH1732 gathered togetherH622 the descendantsH1121 of AaronH175 and the LevitesH3881:

5From the KohathitesH1121H6955, UrielH222 the chiefH8269 and 120H3967H6242 of his relativesH251; 6from the MeraritesH1121H4847, AsaiahH6222 the chiefH8269 and 220H3967H6242 of his relativesH251; 7from the GershomitesH1121H1648,1 JoelH3100 the chiefH8269 and 130H3967H7970 of his relativesH251; 8from the ElizaphanitesH1121H469, ShemaiahH8098 the chiefH8269 and 200H3967 of his relativesH251; 9from the HebronitesH1121H2275, ElielH447 the chiefH8269 and 80H8084 of his relativesH251; 10and from the UzzielitesH1121H5816, AmminadabH5992 the chiefH8269 and 112H3967H8147H6240 of his relativesH251.

11DavidH1732 summonedH7121 the priestsH3548 ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 and the LevitesH3881 UrielH222, AsaiahH6222, JoelH3100, ShemaiahH8098, ElielH447, and AmminadabH5992. 12And he saidH559 to them, “YouH859 are the headsH7218 of the LeviticalH3881 familiesH1. YouH859 and your relativesH251 must consecrate yourselvesH6942 so that you may bringH5927 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, toH413 the place I have preparedH3559 for it. 13It was becauseH3588 you LevitesH859 were not with usH3808 the first timeH4100 that the LORDH3068 our GodH430 burst forth in angerH6555 against us. ForH3588 we did notH3808 consult HimH1875 about the proper orderH4941.”
