1 Chronicles 15:1-8 ▼

1 David built houses 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 is to carry the ark of God except the Levites; for the LORD chose them to carry the ark of God and to minister to Him forever.”

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

4 David gathered together the sons of Aaron and the Levites:

5 of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, with 120 of his relatives;

6 of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, with 220 of his relatives;

7 of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, with 130 of his relatives;

8 of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, with 200 of his relatives;
