1
Now David built
houses
for himself in the city
of David;
and he prepared
a place
for the ark
of God
and pitched
a tent
for it.
2
Then
David
said,
"No
one is to carry
the ark
of God
but the Levites;
for the LORD
chose
them to carry
the ark
of God
and to minister
to Him forever."
3
And David
assembled
all
Israel
at Jerusalem
to bring
up the ark
of the LORD
to its place
which
he had prepared
for it.
4
David
gathered
together the sons
of Aaron
and the Levites:
5
of the sons
of Kohath,
Uriel
the chief,
and 120
of his relatives;
6
of the sons
of Merari,
Asaiah
the chief,
and 220
of his relatives;
7
of the sons
of Gershom,
Joel
the chief,
and 130
of his relatives;
8
of the sons
of Elizaphan,
Shemaiah
the chief,
and 200
of his relatives;
9
of the sons
of Hebron,
Eliel
the chief,
and 80
of his relatives;
10
of the sons
of Uzziel,
Amminadab
the chief,
and 112
of his relatives.
11
Then David
called
for Zadok
and Abiathar
the priests,
and for the Levites,
for Uriel,
Asaiah,
Joel,
Shemaiah,
Eliel
and Amminadab,
12
and said
to them, "You are the heads
of the fathers'
households of the Levites;
consecrate
yourselves both you and your relatives,
that you may bring
up the ark
of the LORD
God
of Israel
to the place that I have prepared
for it.
13
"Because
you did not carry it at the first,
the LORD
our God
made an outburst
on us, for we did not seek
Him according to the ordinance."
14
So the priests
and the Levites
consecrated
themselves to bring
up the ark
of the LORD
God
of Israel.
15
The sons
of the Levites
carried
the ark
of God
on their shoulders
with the poles
thereon,
as Moses
had commanded
according to the word
of the LORD.
16
Then David
spoke
to the chiefs
of the Levites
to appoint
their relatives
the singers,
with instruments
of music,
harps,
lyres,
loud-sounding
cymbals,
to raise
sounds
of joy.
17
So the Levites
appointed
Heman
the son
of Joel,
and from his relatives,
Asaph
the son
of Berechiah;
and from the sons
of Merari
their relatives,
Ethan
the son
of Kushaiah,
18
and with them their relatives
of the second rank,
Zechariah,
Ben,
Jaaziel,
Shemiramoth,
Jehiel,
Unni,
Eliab,
Benaiah,
Maaseiah,
Mattithiah,
Eliphelehu,
Mikneiah,
Obed-edom
and Jeiel,
the gatekeepers.
19
So the singers,
Heman,
Asaph
and Ethan
were appointed to sound
aloud cymbals
of bronze;
20
and Zechariah,
Aziel,
Shemiramoth,
Jehiel,
Unni,
Eliab,
Maaseiah
and Benaiah,
with harps
tuned to alamoth;
21
and Mattithiah,
Eliphelehu,
Mikneiah,
Obed-edom,
Jeiel
and Azaziah,
to lead
with lyres
tuned to the sheminith.
22
Chenaniah,
chief
of the Levites,
was in charge of the singing;
he gave instruction
in singing
because
he was skillful.
23
Berechiah
and Elkanah
were gatekeepers
for the ark.
24
Shebaniah,
Joshaphat,
Nethanel,
Amasai,
Zechariah,
Benaiah
and Eliezer,
the priests,
blew
the trumpets
before
the ark
of God.
Obed-edom
and Jehiah
also were gatekeepers
for
the ark
.
25
So it was David,
with the elders
of Israel
and the captains
over thousands,
who went
to bring
up the ark
of the covenant
of the LORD
from the house
of Obed-edom
with joy.
26
Because God
was helping
the Levites
who were carrying
the ark
of the covenant
of the LORD,
they sacrificed
seven
bulls
and
seven
rams.
27
Now
David
was clothed
with a robe
of fine linen
with all
the Levites
who were carrying
the ark,
and the singers
and Chenaniah
the leader
of the singing
with the singers.
David
also wore
an ephod
of linen.
28
Thus all
Israel
brought
up the ark
of the covenant
of the LORD
with shouting,
and with sound
of the horn,
with trumpets,
with loud-sounding
cymbals,
with harps
and lyres.
29
It happened
when the ark
of the covenant
of the LORD
came
to the city
of
David
,
that Michal
the daughter
of Saul
looked
out of the window
and saw
King
David
leaping
and celebrating;
and she despised
him in her heart.
