557 Levites carry Ark to Jerusalem 1 CHRONICLES 15:3-26
time indefinite.” 3 Then David
congregated all Israel at Jerusalem
a to bring the ark b of Jehovah
up to its place that he had prepared
for it.
4 And David proceeded to
gather the sons of Aaron c and the
Levites; 5 of the sons of Kohath,
U·riel d the chief and his
brothers, a hundred and twenty;
6 of the sons of Me·rari, e A·saiah
f the chief and his brothers,
two hundred and twenty; 7 of
the sons of Gershom, g Joel h the
chief and his brothers, a hundred
and thirty; 8 of the sons
of E·li·zaphan, i She·maiah j the
chief and his brothers, two hundred;
9 of the sons of Hebron,
Eli·el the chief and his brothers,
eighty; 10 of the sons of
Uzzi·el, k Am·mina·dab the chief
and his brothers, a hundred and
twelve. 11 Furthermore, David
called Zadok l and A·bia·thar m
the priests, and the Levites U·riel,
n A·saiah o and Joel, p She·maiah
q and Eli·el r and Am·minadab,
12 and he went on to say
to them: “YOU are the heads s of
the fathers of the Levites. Sanctify
t yourselves, YOU and YOUR
brothers, and YOU must bring the
ark of Jehovah the God of Israel
up to the place that I have prepared
for it. 13 Because at the
first time YOU did not, u Jehovah
our God broke through against
us, v for we did not search after
him according to the custom.” w
14 So the priests and the Levites
sanctified x themselves to bring
up the ark of Jehovah the God of
Israel.
15 Then the sons of the Levites
began to carry y the ark of
the true God, just as Moses had
commanded by Jehovah’s word,
upon their shoulders with the
rods upon them. z 16 David now
said to the chiefs of the Levites
to station their brothers the
singers a with the instruments
of song, b stringed instruments c
and harps d and cymbals, e playing
