1 Chronicles 15:2-15

2Then DavidH1732 saidH559, None ought to carryH5375 the arkH727 of GodH430 but the LevitesH3881: for them hath YhwhH3068 chosenH977 to carryH5375 the arkH727 of GodH430, and to ministerH8334 unto him forH5704 everH5769.1

3And DavidH1732 gatheredH6950 all IsraelH3478 togetherH6950 to JerusalemH3389, to bring upH5927 the arkH727 of YhwhH3068 unto his placeH4725, which he had preparedH3559 for it.

4And DavidH1732 assembledH622 the childrenH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881:

5Of the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955; UrielH222 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242:2

6Of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847; AsaiahH6222 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 two hundredH3967 and twentyH6242:

7Of the sonsH1121 of GershomH1647; JoelH3100 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 an hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970:

8Of the sonsH1121 of ElizaphanH469; ShemaiahH8098 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 two hundredH3967:

9Of the sonsH1121 of HebronH2275; ElielH447 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 fourscoreH8084:

10Of the sonsH1121 of UzzielH5816; AmminadabH5992 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 an hundredH3967 and twelveH6240H8147.

11And DavidH1732 calledH7121 for ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 the priestsH3548, and for the LevitesH3881, for UrielH222, AsaiahH6222, and JoelH3100, ShemaiahH8098, and ElielH447, and AmminadabH5992,

12And saidH559 unto them, Ye are the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of the LevitesH3881: sanctifyH6942 yourselves, both ye and your brethrenH251, that ye may bring upH5927 the arkH727 of YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 unto the place that I have preparedH3559 for it.

13For because ye did it not at the firstH7223, YhwhH3068 our GodH430 made a breachH6555 upon us, for that we soughtH1875 him not after the due orderH4941.

14So the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 sanctifiedH6942 themselves to bring upH5927 the arkH727 of YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

15And the childrenH1121 of the LevitesH3881 bareH5375 the arkH727 of GodH430 upon their shouldersH3802 with the stavesH4133 thereon, as MosesH4872 commandedH6680 according to the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068.
