And David madeH6213 him housesH1004 in the cityH5892 of David,H1732 and preparedH3559 a placeH4725 for the arkH727 of God,H430 and pitchedH5186 for it a tent.H168
2
ThenH227 DavidH1732 said,H559 NoneH3808 ought to carryH5375 the arkH727 of GodH430 but the Levites:H3881 for them has the LORDH3068 chosenH977 to carryH5375 the arkH727 of God,H430 and to ministerH8334 to him for ever.H5769
3
And DavidH1732 gatheredH6950 allH3605 IsraelH3478 together to Jerusalem,H3389 to bringH5927 up the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 to his place,H4725 whichH834 he had preparedH3559 for it.
4
And DavidH1732 assembledH622 the childrenH1121 of Aaron,H175 and the Levites:H3881
5
Of the sonsH1121 of Kohath;H6955 UrielH222 the chief,H8269 and his brothersH251 an hundredH3967 and twenty:H6242
6
Of the sonsH1121 of Merari;H4847 AsaiahH6222 the chief,H8269 and his brothersH251 two hundredH3967 and twenty:H6242
7
Of the sonsH1121 of Gershom;H1648 JoelH3100 the chief H8269and his brothersH251 an hundredH3967 and thirty:H7970
8
Of the sonsH1121 of Elizaphan;H469 ShemaiahH8098 the chief,H8269 and his brothersH251 two hundred:H3967
9
Of the sonsH1121 of Hebron;H2275 ElielH447 the chief,H8269 and his brothersH251 fourscore:H8084
10
Of the sonsH1121 of Uzziel;H5816 AmminadabH5992 the chief,H8269 and his brothersH251 an hundredH3967 and twelve.H8147 H6240
11
And DavidH1732 calledH7121 for ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 the priests,H3548 and for the Levites,H3881 for Uriel,H222 Asaiah,H6222 and Joel,H3100 Shemaiah,H8098 and Eliel,H447 and Amminadab,H5992
12
And saidH559 to them, You are the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of the Levites:H3881 sanctifyH6942 yourselves, both you and your brothers,H251 that you may bringH5927 up the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to the place that I have preparedH3559 for it.
13
For becauseH3588 you did it not at the first,H7223 the LORDH3068 our GodH430 made a breachH6555 on us, for that we soughtH1875 him not after the due order.H4941
14
So the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 sanctifiedH6942 themselves to bringH5927 up the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of Israel.H3478
15
And the childrenH1121 of the LevitesH3881 boreH5375 the arkH727 of GodH430 on their shouldersH3802 with the stavesH4133 thereon,H5921 as MosesH4872 commandedH6680 according to the wordH1697 of the LORD.H3068
16
And DavidH1732 spokeH559 to the chiefH8269 of the LevitesH3881 to appointH5975 their brothersH251 to be the singersH7891 with instrumentsH3627 of music,H7892 psalteriesH5035 and harpsH3658 and cymbals,H4700 sounding,H8085 by liftingH7311 up the voiceH6963 with joy.H8057
17
So the LevitesH3881 appointedH5975 HemanH1968 the sonH1121 of Joel;H3100 and of his brothers,H251 AsaphH623 the sonH1121 of Berechiah;H1296 and of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847 their brothers,H251 EthanH387 the sonH1121 of Kushaiah;H6984
18
And with them their brothersH251 of the secondH4932 degree, Zechariah,H2148 Ben,H1122 and Jaaziel,H3268 and Shemiramoth,H8070 and Jehiel,H3171 and Unni,H6042 Eliab,H446 and Benaiah,H1141 and Maaseiah,H4641 and Mattithiah,H4993 and Elipheleh,H465 and Mikneiah,H4737 and Obededom,H5654 and Jeiel,H3273 the porters.H7778
19
So the singers,H7891 Heman,H1968 Asaph,H623 and Ethan,H387 were appointed to soundH8085 with cymbalsH4700 of brass;H5178
20
And Zechariah,H2148 and Aziel,H5815 and Shemiramoth,H8070 and Jehiel,H3171 and Unni,H6042 and Eliab,H446 and Maaseiah,H4641 and Benaiah,H1141 with psalteriesH5035 onH5921 Alamoth;H5961
21
And Mattithiah,H4993 and Elipheleh,H465 and Mikneiah,H4737 and Obededom,H5654 and Jeiel,H3273 and Azaziah,H5812 with harpsH3658 onH5921 the SheminithH8067 to excel.H5329
22
And Chenaniah,H3663 chiefH8269 of the Levites,H3881 was for song:H4853 he instructedH3256 about the song,H4853 becauseH3588 he was skillful.H995
23
And BerechiahH1296 and ElkanahH511 were doorkeepersH7778 for the ark.H727
24
And Shebaniah,H7645 and Jehoshaphat,H3146 and Nethaneel,H5417 and Amasai,H6022 and Zechariah,H2148 and Benaiah,H1141 and Eliezer,H461 the priests,H3548 did blowH2690 with the trumpetsH2689 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of God:H430 and ObededomH5654 and JehiahH3174 were doorkeepersH7778 for the ark.H727
25
So David,H1732 and the eldersH2205 of Israel,H3478 and the captainsH8269 over thousands,H505 wentH1980 to bringH5927 up the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 out of the houseH1004 of ObededomH5654 with joy.H8057
26
And it cameH1961 to pass, when GodH430 helpedH5826 the LevitesH3881 that boreH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORD,H3068 that they offeredH2076 sevenH7651 bullocksH6499 and sevenH7651 rams.H352
27
And DavidH1732 was clothedH3736 with a robeH4598 of fine linen,H948 and allH3605 the LevitesH3881 that boreH5375 the ark,H727 and the singers,H7891 and ChenaniahH3663 the masterH8269 of the songH4853 with the singers:H7891 DavidH1732 also had on him an ephodH646 of linen.H906
28
Thus allH3605 IsraelH3478 broughtH5927 up the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 with shouting,H8643 and with soundH6963 of the cornet,H7782 and with trumpets,H2689 and with cymbals,H4700 making a noiseH8085 with psalteriesH5035 and harps.H3658
29
And it cameH1961 to pass, as the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 cameH935 to the cityH5892 of David,H1732 that Michal,H4324 the daughterH1323 of SaulH7586 lookingH8259 out atH1157 a windowH2474 sawH7200 kingH4428 DavidH1732 dancingH7540 and playing:H7832 and she despisedH959 him in her heart.H3820
