1 Chronicles 15:1-8 ▼

1 David constructed buildings for himself in the City of David, and he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it.

2 Then David said, “No one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, because the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of the LORD and to minister before Him forever.”

3 And David assembled all Israel in Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the LORD to the place he had prepared for it.

4 Then he gathered together the descendants of Aaron and the Levites:

5 From the Kohathites, Uriel the chief and 120 of his relatives;

6 from the Merarites, Asaiah the chief and 220 of his relatives;

7 from the Gershomites, Joel the chief and 130 of his relatives;

8 from the Elizaphanites, Shemaiah the chief and 200 of his relatives;
