1 Chronicles 15:12-15

12He said to them, “You are the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, that you may bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place I have prepared for it.

13For because you did not do it the first time, the Lord our God broke out against us, because we did not consult Him about the proper order.”

14So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel.

15And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God on their shoulders, by its poles, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the Lord.
