1 Chronicles 15:1-8 ▼

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

2 Then David said, |Only the Levites may carry the ark of God, for the LORD chose them to carry the ark of the LORD and to serve before him perpetually.

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

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

5 From the descendants of Kohath: Uriel the leader and 120 of his relatives.

6 From the descendants of Merari: Asaiah the leader and 220 of his relatives.

7 From the descendants of Gershom: Joel the leader and 130 of his relatives.

8 From the descendants of Elizaphan: Shemaiah the leader and 200 of his relatives.
