1And DavidH1732 madeH6213 him housesH1004 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732; and he preparedH3559 a placeH4725 for the arkH727 of GodH430, and pitchedH5186 for it a tentH168. 2Then DavidH1732 saidH559, NoneH3808 ought to carryH5375 the arkH727 of GodH430 but the LevitesH3881: for them hath the LORDH3068 chosenH977 to carryH5375 the arkH727 of GodH430, and to ministerH8334 unto him for everH5769. 3And DavidH1732 assembledH6950 allH3605 IsraelH3478 at JerusalemH3389, to bringH5927 upH5927 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 unto itsH3605 placeH4725, whichH834 he had preparedH3559 for it. 4And DavidH1732 gatheredH622 togetherH622 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881: 5of the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955; UrielH222 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242: 6of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847; AsaiahH6222 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 twoH3967 hundredH3967 and twentyH6242: 7of the sonsH1121 of Gershom; JoelH3100 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 an hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970: 8of the sonsH1121 of ElizaphanH469; ShemaiahH8098 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 twoH3967 hundredH3967: 9of the sonsH1121 of HebronH2275; ElielH447 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 fourscore: 10of the sonsH1121 of UzzielH5816; AmminadabH5992 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 an hundredH3967 and twelveH6240. 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 headsH7218 of the fathers’H1 houses of the LevitesH3881: sanctifyH6942 yourselves, both ye and your brethrenH251, that ye may bringH5927 upH5927 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, unto the placeH3559 that I have preparedH3559 for it. 13For becauseH3588 ye bare it notH3808 at the firstH7223, the LORDH3068 our GodH430 madeH6555 a breach uponH4941 usH3588, for that weH3588 soughtH1875 him notH3808 accordingH4941 to the ordinanceH4941. 14SoH5927 the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 sanctifiedH6942 themselvesH6942 to bringH5927 upH5927 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 15And the childrenH1121 of the LevitesH3881 bare the arkH727 of GodH430 uponH5921 their shouldersH3802 with the staves thereonH5921, as MosesH4872 commandedH6680 accordingH5921 to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. 16And DavidH1732 spake to the chiefH8269 of the LevitesH3881 to appointH5975 their brethrenH251 the singersH7891, with instrumentsH3627 of musicH7892, psalteries and harpsH3658 and cymbalsH4700, sounding aloudH8085 and liftingH7311 upH7311 the voiceH6963 with joyH8057. 17SoH4480 the LevitesH3881 appointedH5975 HemanH1968 the sonH1121 of JoelH3100; and of his brethrenH251, AsaphH623 the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296; and of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847 their brethrenH251, EthanH387 the sonH1121 of KushaiahH6984; 18and with them their brethrenH251 of the secondH4932 degree, ZechariahH2148, BenH1122, and JaazielH3268, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehielH3171, and UnniH6042, EliabH446, and BenaiahH1141, and MaaseiahH4641, and MattithiahH4993, and EliphelehuH466, and MikneiahH4737, and Obed-edomH5654, and JeielH3273, the doorkeepers. 19SoH8085 the singersH7891, HemanH1968, AsaphH623, and EthanH387, were appointed, with cymbalsH4700 of brassH5178 to soundH8085 aloudH8085; 20and ZechariahH2148, and AzielH5815, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehielH3171, and UnniH6042, and EliabH446, and MaaseiahH4641, and BenaiahH1141, with psalteries set to AlamothH5961; 21and MattithiahH4993, and EliphelehuH466, and MikneiahH4737, and Obed-edomH5654, and JeielH3273, and AzaziahH5812, with harpsH3658 set to the SheminithH8067, to leadH5329. 22And ChenaniahH3663, chiefH8269 of the LevitesH3881, was over the song: he instructedH3256 about the song, becauseH3588 he was skilful. 23And BerechiahH1296 and ElkanahH511 were doorkeepers for the arkH727. 24And ShebaniahH7645, and JoshaphatH3146, and NethanelH5417, and AmasaiH6022, and ZechariahH2148, and BenaiahH1141, and EliezerH461, the priestsH3548, did blow with the trumpetsH2689 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of GodH430: and Obed-edomH5654 and JehiahH3174 were doorkeepers for the arkH727. 25SoH1980 DavidH1732, and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and the captainsH8269 over thousandsH505, wentH1980 to bringH5927 upH5927 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 outH4480 of the houseH1004 of Obed-edomH5654 with joyH8057: 26And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when GodH430 helpedH5826 the LevitesH3881 that bare the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, that they sacrificedH2076 sevenH7651 bullocks and sevenH7651 ramsH352. 27And DavidH1732 was clothedH3736 with a robeH4598 of fineH948 linenH906, and allH3605 the LevitesH3881 that bare the arkH727, and the singersH7891, and ChenaniahH3663 the master of the songH7891 with the singersH7891: and DavidH1732 had uponH5921 him an ephodH646 of linenH906. 28ThusH8085 allH3605 IsraelH3478 broughtH5927 upH5927 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 with shoutingH8643, and with soundH6963 of the cornet, and with trumpetsH2689, and with cymbalsH4700, sounding aloudH8085 with psalteries and harpsH3658. 29And it cameH935 to passH935, as the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 cameH935 to the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, that MichalH4324 the daughterH1323 of SaulH7586 lookedH7200 outH8259 at the windowH2474, and sawH7200 kingH4428 DavidH1732 dancing and playingH7832; and sheH3820 despisedH959 him in herH7200 heartH3820.
