1 Chronicles 15:4-16 ▼

4 And David will gather together the sons of Aaron and the Levites:

5 To the sons of Kohath: Uriel the chief and his brethren, a hundred and twenty:

6 To the sons of Merari: Asaiah the chief and his brethren, two hundred and twenty:

7 To the sons of Gershom: Joel the chief and his brethren, a hundred and thirty:

8 To the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah the chief and his brethren, two hundred:

9 To the sons of Hebron: Eliel the chief and his brethren, eighty:

10 To the sons of Uzziel: Aminadad the chief and his brethren, a hundred and twelve.

11 And David will call for Zadok and for Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel and Aminadab,

12 And he will say to them, Ye heads of the fathers to the Levites: ye shall purify yourselves, ye and your brethren, and bring ye up the ark of Jehovah the God of Israel to that I prepared for it.

13 For ye not from the first, Jehovah our God broke forth upon us, for we sought him not according to judgment.

14 And the priests will purify themselves and the Levites to bring up the ark of Jehovah God of Israel.

15 And the sons of the Levites will lift up the ark of God as Moses commanded, according to the word of Jehovah, upon the shoulders, with the rods upon them.

16 And David will say to the chiefs of the Levites to cause their brethren to stand singing with every instrument of song, lyres and harps, and cymbals, causing to hear to lift up with the voice for joy.
