13_1CH_15_01 And [ David ] made him houses in the city of David , And prepared A place for the ark of God , And pitched for it A tent .
13_1CH_15_02 Then 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 .
13_1CH_15_03 And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem , to bring up the ark of the LORD unto his place , which he had prepared for it .
13_1CH_15_04 And David assembled the children of Aaron , And the Levites :
13_1CH_15_05 of the sons of Kohath ; Uriel the chief , And his brethren an hundred And twenty :
13_1CH_15_06 of the sons of Merari ; Asaiah the chief , And his brethren two hundred And twenty :
13_1CH_15_07 of the sons of Gershom ; Joel the chief , And his brethren an hundred And thirty :
13_1CH_15_08 of the sons of Elizaphan ; Shemaiah the chief , And his brethren two hundred :
13_1CH_15_09 of the sons of Hebron ; Eliel the chief , And his brethren fourscore :
13_1CH_15_10 of the sons of Uzziel ; Amminadab the chief , And his brethren an hundred And twelve .
13_1CH_15_11 And David called for Zadok And Abiathar the priests , And for the Levites , for Uriel , Asaiah , And Joel , Shemaiah , And Eliel , And Amminadab ,
13_1CH_15_12 And 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 .
13_1CH_15_13 for 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 .
13_1CH_15_14 So the priests And the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel .
13_1CH_15_15 And 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 .
13_1CH_15_16 And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren [ to be ] the singers with instruments of music , psalteries And harps And cymbals , sounding , by lifting up the voice with joy .
13_1CH_15_17 So 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 ;
13_1CH_15_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 .
13_1CH_15_19 So the singers , Heman , Asaph , And Ethan , [ were appointed ] to sound with cymbals of brass ;
13_1CH_15_20 And Zechariah , And Aziel , And Shemiramoth , And Jehiel , And Unni , And Eliab , And Maaseiah , And Benaiah , with psalteries on Alamoth ;
13_1CH_15_21 And Mattithiah , And Elipheleh , And Mikneiah , And Obededom , And Jeiel , And Azaziah , with harps on the Sheminith to excel .
13_1CH_15_22 And Chenaniah , chief of the Levites , [ was ] for song : he instructed about the song , because he [ was ] skilful .
13_1CH_15_23 And Berechiah And Elkanah [ were ] doorkeepers for the ark .
13_1CH_15_24 And 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 .
13_1CH_15_25 So 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 .
13_1CH_15_26 And 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 .
13_1CH_15_27 And 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 .
13_1CH_15_28 thus 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 .
13_1CH_15_29 And 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 .
