1 Chronicles 15:13-15

131Because you did not carry it at the first, the Lord our God made an outburst against us, since we did not seek Him according to the ordinance.” 142So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel. 15The sons of 3the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles on them, just as Moses had commanded in accordance with the word of the Lord.
