Plans to Move the Ark to Jerusalem
1 Now David built houses for himself in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God and 1pitched a tent for it.
2
Then David said, "2No 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 3David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the LORD 4to its place which he had prepared for it.
4
David gathered together the sons of Aaron and 5the 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 6Zadok and 7Abiathar 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; 8consecrate yourselves both you and your relatives, that you may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel 9to the place that I have prepared for it.
13
"10Because 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
11So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.
15
The sons of 12the 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 13to appoint their relatives the singers, with instruments of music, harps, lyres, loud-sounding cymbals, to raise sounds of joy.
17
So 14the 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 15alamoth;
21
and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel and Azaziah, to lead with lyres tuned to 16the 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, 17blew the trumpets before the ark of God. Obed-edom and Jehiah also were gatekeepers for the ark.
25
18So 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 19the 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 20seven 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. 21David 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 22Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and celebrating; and she despised him in her heart.
