The First Book of the Chronicles

Chapter 15

1

And [David] made4 him houses in the city of David, and prepared55 a place for the ark of God, and pitched4 for it a tent.

2

Then David said,1 None ought to carry2 the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen1 to carry2 the ark of God, and to minister15 unto him for ever.

3

And David gathered all Israel together55 to Jerusalem, to bring up53 the ark of the LORD unto his place, which he had prepared52 for it.

4

And David assembled4 the children of Aaron, and the Levites:

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve. 6240

11

And David called4 for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,

12

And said4 unto them, Ye [are] the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify100 yourselves, [both] ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up52 the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto [the place that] I have prepared52 for it.

13

For because ye [did it] not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach1 upon us, for that we sought1 him not after the due order.

14

So the priests and the Levites sanctified101 themselves to bring up53 the ark of the LORD God of Israel.

15

And the children of the Levites bare4 the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded14 according to the word of the LORD.

16

And David spake4 to the chief of the Levites to appoint53 their brethren [to be] the singers35 with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding,56 by lifting up53 the voice with joy.

17

So the Levites appointed55 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;

18

And 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.

19

So the singers,35 Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, [were appointed] to sound53 with cymbals of brass;

20

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

21

And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith 8066 to excel.15

22

And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, [was] for song: he instructed about the song, because he [was] skilful.56

23

And Berechiah and Elkanah [were] doorkeepers for the ark.

24

And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow56 2690 18 with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehiah [were] doorkeepers for the ark.

25

So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went6 to bring up53 the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the house of Obededom with joy.

26

And it came to pass, when God helped2 the Levites that bare6 the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered4 seven bullocks and seven rams.

27

And David [was] clothed7 with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare6 the ark, and the singers,35 and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers:35 David also [had] upon him an ephod of linen.

28

Thus all Israel brought up56 the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise56 with psalteries and harps.

29

And it came to pass, [as] the ark of the covenant of the LORD came1 to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looking8 out at a window saw4 king David dancing18 and playing:18 and she despised4 him in her heart.
