Context of 1 Chronicles 15:11

9From the descendants of Hebron: Eliel the leader and 80 of his relatives. 10From the descendants of Uzziel: Amminadab the leader and 112 of his relatives. David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar, along with the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab. 12He told them: “You are the leaders of the Levites’ families. You and your relatives must consecrate yourselves and bring the ark of the Lord God of Israel up to the place I have prepared for it. 13The first time you did not carry it; that is why the Lord God attacked us, because we did not ask him about the proper way to carry it.”
