Context of 1 Chronicles 15:11

9Leading Hebron’s descendants was Eliel, who came with 80 of his relatives. 10Leading Uzziel’s descendants was Amminadab, who came with 112 of his relatives. David called for the priests Zadok and Abiathar and for the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab. 12He said to them, “You are the heads of the Levite families. You and your relatives must perform the ceremonies to make yourselves holy. Then bring the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place I prepared for it. 13Because you weren’t there the first time, the Lord our God struck us. We hadn’t dedicated our lives to serving him in the way ⌞he⌟ designated.”
