Chapter 15
And
David
made
him
houses
in
the
city
of
David,
and
prepared
a
place
for
the
ark
of
God,
and
pitched
for
it
a
tent.
2
Then
David
said,
None
ought
to
carry
the
ark
of
God
but
the
Levites:
for
them
hath
the
Lord
chosen
to
carry
the
ark
of
God,
and
to
minister
unto
him
for
ever.
3
And
David
gathered
all
Israel
together
to
Jerusalem,
to
bring
up
the
ark
of
the
Lord
unto
his
place,
which
he
had
prepared
for
it.
4
And
David
assembled
the
children
of
Aaron,
and
the
Levites:
5
Of
the
sons
of
Kohath;
Uriel
the
chief,
and
his
brethren
an
hundred
and
twenty:
6
Of
the
sons
of
Merari;
Asaiah
the
chief,
and
his
brethren
two
hundred
and
twenty:
7
Of
the
sons
of
Gershom;
Joel
the
chief,
and
his
brethren
an
hundred
and
thirty:
8
Of
the
sons
of
Elizaphan;
Shemaiah
the
chief,
and
his
brethren
two
hundred:
9
Of
the
sons
of
Hebron;
Eliel
the
chief,
and
his
brethren
fourscore:
10
Of
the
sons
of
Uzziel;
Amminadab
the
chief,
and
his
brethren
an
hundred
and
twelve.
11
And
David
called
for
Zadok
and
Abiathar
the
priests,
and
for
the
Levites,
for
Uriel,
Asaiah,
and
Joel,
Shemaiah,
and
Eliel,
and
Amminadab,
12
And
said
unto
them,
Ye
are
the
chief
of
the
fathers
of
the
Levites:
sanctify
yourselves,
both
ye
and
your
brethren,
that
ye
may
bring
up
the
ark
of
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
unto
the
place
that
I
have
prepared
for
it.
13
For
because
ye
did
it
not
at
the
first,
the
Lord
our
God
made
a
breach
upon
us,
for
that
we
sought
him
not
after
the
due
order.
14
So
the
priests
and
the
Levites
sanctified
themselves
to
bring
up
the
ark
of
the
Lord
God
of
Israel.
15
And
the
children
of
the
Levites
bare
the
ark
of
God
upon
their
shoulders
with
the
staves
thereon,
as
Moses
commanded
according
to
the
word
of
the
Lord.
16
And
David
spake
to
the
chief
of
the
Levites
to
appoint
their
brethren
to
be
the
singers
with
instruments
of
musick,
psalteries
and
harps
and
cymbals,
sounding,
by
lifting
up
the
voice
with
joy.
17
So
the
Levites
appointed
Heman
the
son
of
Joel;
and
of
his
brethren,
Asaph
the
son
of
Berechiah;
and
of
the
sons
of
Merari
their
brethren,
Ethan
the
son
of
Kushaiah;
18
And
with
them
their
brethren
of
the
second
degree,
Zechariah,
Ben,
and
Jaaziel,
and
Shemiramoth,
and
Jehiel,
and
Unni,
Eliab,
and
Benaiah,
and
Maaseiah,
and
Mattithiah,
and
Elipheleh,
and
Mikneiah,
and
Obed-edom,
and
Jeiel,
the
porters.
19
So
the
singers,
Heman,
Asaph,
and
Ethan,
were
appointed
to
sound
with
cymbals
of
brass;
20
And
Zechariah,
and
Aziel,
and
Shemiramoth,
and
Jehiel,
and
Unni,
and
Eliab,
and
Maaseiah,
and
Benaiah,
with
psalteries
on
Alamoth;
21
And
Mattithiah,
and
Elipheleh,
and
Mikneiah,
and
Obed-edom,
and
Jeiel,
and
Azaziah,
with
harps
on
the
Sheminith
to
excel.
22
And
Chenaniah,
chief
of
the
Levites,
was
for
song:
he
instructed
about
the
song,
because
he
was
skilful.
23
And
Berechiah
and
Elkanah
were
doorkeepers
for
the
ark.
24
And
Shebaniah,
and
Jehoshaphat,
and
Nethaneel,
and
Amasai,
and
Zechariah,
and
Benaiah,
and
Eliezer,
the
priests,
did
blow
with
the
trumpets
before
the
ark
of
God:
and
Obed-edom
and
Jehiah
were
doorkeepers
for
the
ark.
25
So
David,
and
the
elders
of
Israel,
and
the
captains
over
thousands,
went
to
bring
up
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
Lord
out
of
the
house
of
Obed-edom
with
joy.
26
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
God
helped
the
Levites
that
bare
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
Lord,
that
they
offered
seven
bullocks
and
seven
rams.
27
And
David
was
clothed
with
a
robe
of
fine
linen,
and
all
the
Levites
that
bare
the
ark,
and
the
singers,
and
Chenaniah
the
master
of
the
song
with
the
singers:
David
also
had
upon
him
an
ephod
of
linen.
28
Thus
all
Israel
brought
up
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
Lord
with
shouting,
and
with
sound
of
the
cornet,
and
with
trumpets,
and
with
cymbals,
making
a
noise
with
psalteries
and
harps.
29
And
it
came
to
pass,
as
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
Lord
came
to
the
city
of
David,
that
Michal
the
daughter
of
Saul
looking
out
at
a
window
saw
king
David
dancing
and
playing:
and
she
despised
him
in
her
heart.
