The Assembly and the Priests

3

And David assembleth all Israel unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Jehovah unto its place that he had prepared for it.

4

And David gathereth the sons of Aaron, and the Levites.

5

Of sons of Kohath: Uriel the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and twenty.

6

Of sons of Merari: Asaiah the chief, and his brethren, two hundred and twenty.

7

Of sons of Gershom: Joel the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and thirty.

8

Of sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren, two hundred.

9

Of sons of Hebron: Eliel the chief, and his brethren, eighty.

10

Of sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and twelve.

11

And David calleth to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, and to the Levites, to Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,

12

and saith to them, `Ye are heads of the fathers of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, ye and your brethren, and ye have brought up the ark of Jehovah, God of Israel, unto the place I have prepared for it;

13

because at the first it was not ye, Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, because we sought Him not according to the ordinance.'

14

And the priests and the Levites sanctify themselves, to bring up the ark of Jehovah, God of Israel;

15

and sons of the Levites bear the ark of God, as Moses commanded, according to the word of Jehovah, on their shoulder, with staves, above them.
