David Gets Ready To Bring the Sacred Chest to Jerusalem
1 Davidhad several buildings built in Jerusalem, and he had a tent set up where the sacred chest would be kept. 2 Dt 10.8.He said, "Only Levites will be allowed to carry the chest, because the Lordhas chosen them to do that work and to serve him forever."
3 Next, Davidinvited everyone to come to Jerusalemand watch the sacred chest being carried to the place he had set up for it. 4 He also sent for Aaron’s descendants and for the Levites. The Levites that came were: 5 Uriel, the leader of the Kohathclan, and 120 of his relatives; 6 Asaiah, the leader of the Merariclan, and 220 of his relatives; 7 Joel, the leader of the Gershonclan, and 130 of his relatives; 8 Shemaiah, the leader of the Elizaphanclan, and 200 of his relatives; 9 Eliel, the leader of the Hebronclan, and 80 of his relatives; and 10 Amminadab, the leader of the Uzzielclan, with 112 of his relatives.
11 Davidcalled together these six Levites and the two priests, Zadokand Abiathar. 12 He said to them, "You are the leaders of the clans in the Levi tribe. You and your relatives must first go through the ceremony to make yourselves clean and acceptable to the Lord. Then you may carry the sacred chest that belongs to the LordGod of Israel and bring it to the place I have prepared for it. 13 The first time we tried to bring the chest to Jerusalem, we didn’t ask the Lordwhat he wanted us to do. He was angry with us, because you Levites weren’t there to carry the chest."
14 The priests and the Levites made themselves clean. They were now ready to carry the sacred chest 15 Ex 25.14.on poles that rested on their shoulders, just as the Lordhad told Mosesto do.
16 Davidthen told the leaders to choose some Levites to sing and play music on small harps, other stringed instruments, and cymbals. 17-21 The men chosen to play the cymbals were Hemanthe son of Joel, his relative Asaphthe son of Berechiah, and Ethanthe son of Kushaiahfrom the Merariclan. Some of their assistants played the smaller harps: they were Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah. Others played the larger harps: they were Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Azaziah, and two of the temple guards, Obed-Edomand Jeiel.
22 Chenaniahwas chosen to be the music director, because he was a skilled musician.
23,24 Four Levites were then appointed to guard the sacred chest. They were Berechiah, Elkanah, Obed-Edom, and Jehiah.
Finally, David chose priests to walk in front of the sacred chest and blow trumpets. They were Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer.
25 David, the leaders of Israel, and the army commanders were very happy as they went to Obed-Edom’s house to get the sacred chest. 26 God gave the Levites the strength they needed to carry the chest, and so they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
27 David, the Levites, Chenaniahthe music director, and all the musicians were wearing linen robes, and Davidwas also wearing a linen cloth.15.27 a linen cloth: The Hebrew word is "ephod," which can mean either a piece of clothing like a skirt that went from the waist to the knee or a garment like a vest or jacket that only the priests wore.28 While the sacred chest was being carried into Jerusalem, everyone was celebrating by shouting and playing music on horns, trumpets, cymbals, harps, and other stringed instruments.
29 Saul’s daughter Michal15.29 Michal: One of David’s wives.looked out her window and watched the chest being brought into David’s City. But when she saw Davidjumping and dancing in honor of the Lord, she was disgusted.
