15 And he made houses for himself 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, “One is not to carry the Box of God except the Levites. For Yahweh chose them to carry the Box of Yahweh and to serve him forever.” 3 And David assembled all of Israel to Jerusalem to bring up the Box of Yahweh to its place, which he had prepared for it. 4 And David assembled 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 have prepared for it. 13 For because at the first it was not you, Yahweh our God broke out against us, for we did not seek him according to the ordinance.” 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 according to what Moses had 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 station their brothers, the singers, with instruments of song, lyres and harps and cymbals, playing to raise a sound of rejoicing. 17 And the Levites stationed 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, the seconds: 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 make heard. 20 And Zechariah and Aziel and Shemiramoth and Jehiel and Unni and Eliab and Maaseiah and Benaiah with lyres, according to Alamoth. 21 And Mattithiah and Eliphelehu and Mikneiah,and Obed Edom and Jeiel and Azaziah with lyres, to lead according to Sheminith. 22 And Kenaniah, the chief of the Levites, in lifting up, to instruct in lifting up, for he was understanding. 23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were keepers for the Box. 24 And Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, were blowing trumpets to the face of the Box of God. And Obed Edom and Jehiah were keepers for the Box.

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

29 And it happened that the Box of the Covenant of Yahweh was coming to the city of David, and Michal, the daughter of Saul, looked down through a window. And she saw King David dancing and celebrating. And she despised him in her heart.
