CHAP. XV. 1 David having prepared a place for the ark, ordereth the priests and Levites to bring it from Obed-edom: 25 He performeth the solemnity with great joy: 29 Michal despiseth him.


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.


2   Then David said, note None ought to carry the note ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the Lord chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister to him for ever.


3   And David assembled all Israel to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the Lord to its 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 note brethren a 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 a 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 eighty:


10   Of the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief, and his brethren a 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 to 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 to 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 bore the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staffs on it, as note Moses commanded, according to the word of the Lord.


16   And David spoke 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.


17   So the Levites appointed note Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, note Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, note 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 note on the Sheminith to excel.


22   And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, note was for note song: he instructed about the song, because he was skillful.


23   And Berechiah and Elkanah were door-keepers 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 door-keepers for the ark.


25   ¶2; So note David and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the house of Obed-edom with joy.


26   And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bore 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 bore the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the note 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

29   ¶2; 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.
