13_1CH

1CH-15:1 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.

1CH-15:2 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.

1CH-15:3 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.

1CH-15:4 And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the

Levites:

1CH-15:5 Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his

brethren an hundred and twenty:

1CH-15:6 Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his

brethren two hundred and twenty:

1CH-15:7 Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his

brethren an hundred and thirty:

1CH-15:8 Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his

brethren two hundred:

1CH-15:9 Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his

brethren fourscore:

1CH-15:10 Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his

brethren an hundred and twelve.

1CH-15:11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests,

and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and

Eliel, and Amminadab,

1CH-15:12 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.

1CH-15:13 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.

1CH-15:14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves

to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.

1CH-15:15 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.

1CH-15:16 And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint

their brethren [to be] the singers with instruments of music,

psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the

voice with joy.

1CH-15:17 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;

1CH-15:18 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 Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters.

1CH-15:19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, [were

appointed] to sound with cymbals of brass;

1CH-15:20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel,

and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries

on Alamoth;

1CH-15:21 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and

Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to

excel.

1CH-15:22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, [was] for song:

he instructed about the song, because he [was] skilful.

1CH-15:23 And Berechiah and Elkanah [were] doorkeepers for the

ark.

1CH-15:24 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 Obededom

and Jehiah [were] doorkeepers for the ark.

1CH-15:25 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 Obededom with joy.

1CH-15:26 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.

1CH-15:27 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.

1CH-15:28 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.

1CH-15:29 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.
