1 Chronicles 15

¹And Dauid made him houses in the citie of Dauid, and prepared a place for the Arke of God, and pitched for it a tent.

²Then Dauid saide, None ought to carie the Arke of God, but the Leuites: for the Lord hath chosen them to beare the Arke of the Lord, and to minister vnto him for euer.

³And Dauid gathered all Israel together to Ierusalem to bring vp the Arke of the Lord vnto his place, which he had ordeined for it.

⁴And Dauid assembled the sonnes of Aaron, and the Leuites.

⁵Of the sonnes of Kohath, Vriel the chiefe, and his brethren sixe score.

⁶Of the sonnes of Merari, Asaiah the chiefe, and his brethren two hundreth and twentie.

⁷Of the sonnes of Gershom, Ioel the chiefe, and his brethren an hundreth and thirtie.

⁸Of the sonnes of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chiefe, and his brethren two hundreth.

⁹Of the sonnes of Hebron, Eliel the chiefe, and his brethren fourescore.

¹⁰Of the sonnes of Vzziel, Amminadab the chiefe, and his brethren an hundreth and twelue.

¹¹And Dauid called Zadok and Abiathar the Priestes, and of the Leuites, Vriel, Asaiah and Ioel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab:

¹²And he saide vnto them, Ye are the chiefe fathers of the Leuites: sanctifie your selues, and your brethren, and bring vp the Arke of the Lord God of Israel vnto the place that I haue prepared for it.

¹³For because ye were not there at the first, the Lord our God made a breach among vs: for we sought him not after due order.
