1 Davidconstructed buildings 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 Davidsaid, "No one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, because the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of the LORD and to minister before Him forever."
3 And Davidassembled all Israel in Jerusalemto bring up the ark of the LORD to the place he had prepared for it. 4 Then he gathered together the descendants of Aaronand the Levites:
5 From the Kohathites, Urielthe chief and 120 of his relatives;
6 from the Merarites, Asaiahthe chief and 220 of his relatives;
7 from the Gershomites,15:7 Gershomites is a variant of Gershonites; see 1 Chronicles 23:7.Joelthe chief and 130 of his relatives;
8 from the Elizaphanites, Shemaiahthe chief and 200 of his relatives;
9 from the Hebronites, Elielthe chief and 80 of his relatives;
10 and from the Uzzielites, Amminadabthe chief and 112 of his relatives.
11 Davidsummoned the priests Zadokand Abiatharand the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab. 12 And he said to them, "You are the heads of the Levitical families. You and your relatives must consecrate yourselves so that you may bring the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, to the place I have prepared for it. 13 It was because you Levites were not with us the first time that the LORD our God burst forth in anger against us. For we did not consult Him about the proper order."
The Priests and Levites Carry the Ark
14 So the priests and Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel. 15 And the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles, as Moseshad commanded in accordance with the word of the LORD.
16 Davidalso told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their relatives as singers to lift up their voices with joy, accompanied by musical instruments— harps, lyres, and cymbals. 17 So the Levites appointed Hemanson of Joel; from his brothers, Asaphson of Berechiah; from their brothers the Merarites, Ethanson of Kushaiah; 18 and with them their brothers next in rank: Zechariah,15:18 Several Hebrew manuscripts and most LXX manuscripts (see also verse 20 and 1 Chronicles 16:5); most Hebrew manuscripts Zechariah son of or Zechariah, Ben, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, and the gatekeepers Obed-edomand Jeiel.15:18 Hebrew; some LXX manuscripts Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah or Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Ozias
19 The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethanwere to sound the bronze cymbals. 20 Zechariah, Aziel,15:20 Aziel is a variant of Jaaziel; see verse 18.Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiahwere to play the harps according to Alamoth.15:20 Alamothis probably a musical or liturgical term; here and in Psalm 46:1.21 And Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziahwere to lead the music with lyres according to Sheminith.15:21 Sheminithis probably a musical term; here and in Psalm 6:1 and Psalm 12:1.22 Chenaniahthe head Levite was the director of the music because he was highly skilled.
23 Berechiahand Elkanahwere to be guardians15:23 Literally gatekeepers; also in verse 24of the ark. 24 Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer— the priests — were to blow the trumpets before the ark of God. Obed-edomand Jehiahwere also to be guardians of the ark.
Moving the Ark to Jerusalem
25 So David, the elders of Israel, and the commanders of thousands went with rejoicing to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the house of Obed-edom. 26 And because God helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
27 Now Davidwas dressed in a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, as well as the singers and Chenaniah, the director of music for the singers. Davidalso wore a linen ephod. 28 So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, with the sounding of rams’ horns and trumpets, and with cymbals and the music of harps and lyres.
