Book 13 1 Chronicles Chapter 015

 

015:001And David made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a
place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.

 

015:002Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the
Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of
God, and to minister unto him for ever.

 

015:003And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring
up the ark of the LORD unto his place, which he had prepared
for it.

 

015:004And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:

 

015:005Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an
hundred and twenty:

 

015:006Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two
hundred and twenty:

 

015:007Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief and his brethren an
hundred and thirty:

 

015:008Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren
two hundred:

 

015:009Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren
fourscore:

 

015:010Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren
an hundred and twelve.

 

015:011And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for
the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel,
and Amminadab,

 

015:012And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the
Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that
ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto the
place that I have prepared for it.

 

015:013For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made
a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due
order.

 

015:014So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring
up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.

 

015:015And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their
shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded
according to the word of the LORD.

 

015:016And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their
brethren to be the singers with instruments of musick,
psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the
voice with joy.

 

015:017So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his
brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of
Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;

 

015:018And with them their brethren of the second degree, Zechariah,
Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni,
Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and
Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters.

 

015:019So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to
sound with cymbals of brass;

 

015:020And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and
Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on
Alamoth;

 

015:021And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and
Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.

 

015:022And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he
instructed about the song, because he was skilful.

 

015:023And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

 

015:024And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and
Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow
with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obededom and
Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.

 

015:025So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over
thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the
LORD out of the house of Obededom with joy.

 

015:026And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the
ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven
bullocks and seven rams.

 

015:027And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the
Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the
master of the song with the singers: David also had upon him
an ephod of linen.

 

015:028Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD
with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with
trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and
harps.

 

015:029And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD
came to the city of David, that Michal, the daughter of Saul
looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing:
and she despised him in her heart.
