The First Book of the Chronicles 15

15 And he made for himself houses in the city of David. And he prepared a place for the Box of God, and he stretched out a tent for it. 2 Then David said, “No one shall carry the Box of God, but only the Levites. For them Yahweh chose to carry the Box of Yahweh and to minister for him forever.” 3 And David assembled all Israel to Jerusalem to bring up the Box of Yahweh to its place which he had prepared for it. 4 And David gathered the sons of Aaron and the Levites. 5 Of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief and his brothers, 120. 6 Of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief and his brothers, 220. 7 Of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief and his brothers, 130. 8 Of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief and his brothers, 200. 9 Of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief and his brothers, 80. 10 Of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief and his brothers, 112. 11 And David called for Zadok and for Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab. 12 And he said to them, “You are the heads of the fathers of the Levites. Consecrate yourselves, you and your brothers, and bring up the Box of Yahweh, the God of Israel, to where I prepared for it. 13 Because at the first it was not you, Yahweh our God broke out against us, for we did not seek him according to the judgment.” 14 And the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the Box of Yahweh, the God of Israel. 15 And the sons of Levi carried the Box of God just as Moses commanded, according to the word of Yahweh, on their shoulders with poles on them.

16 And David said to the chiefs of the Levites to assign their brothers as the singers with instruments of song, harps, and lyres, and cymbals, playing to raise a sound of joy. 17 And the Levites assigned Heman the son of Joel and from his brothers, Asaph the son of Berechiah, and from the sons of Merari their brothers, Ethan the son of Kushaiah, 18 and with them, their brothers of the second rank: Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed Edom, and Jeiel, the gatekeepers. 19 And the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, with bronze cymbals to play. 20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah with harps, according to Alamoth. 21 And Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed Edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah with lyres, according to the Sheminith to lead. 22 And Kenaniah, the chief of the Levites in lifting up, an instructor in lifting up, for he was one who understood. 23 And Berechiah and Elkanah, gatekeepers for the Box. 24 And Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, the ones to blow the trumpets before the face of the Box of God. And Obed Edom and Jehiah, gatekeepers for the Box.

25 And it happened David, and the elders of Israel, and the chiefs of thousands were going to bring up the Box of the covenant of Yahweh from the house of Obed Edom with joy. 26 And it happened when God helped the Levites carrying the Box of the covenant of Yahweh, and they slaughtered seven bulls and seven rams. 27 And David was clothed in a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites carrying the Box, and the singers, and Kenaniah, the chief of the lifting up of the singers. And on David, an ephod of linen. 28 And all Israel was bringing up the Box of the covenant of Yahweh with shouting of joy, and with a sound of a horn and with trumpets, and with cymbals, playing with harps and lyres.

29 And it happened the Box of the covenant of Yahweh was coming to the city of David, and Michal the daughter of Saul, looked down out of the window. And she saw the king, David, dancing and celebrating. And she despised him in her heart.
