1 And Dauid made hym houses in the cytie of Dauid, and prepared a place for the arcke of God, pytched for it a tent.
2 Then Dauid sayde the arcke of God ought not to be caryed but of the Leuites. For them hath the Lord chosen to beare the arcke of the Lorde, and to minister vnto hym for euer.
3 And Dauid gathered all Israell together to Ierusalem, to fetche the arcke of the Lorde vnto hys place which he had ordeyned for it.
4 And Dauid brought togeather the chyldren of Aaron and the Leuites.
5 Of the sonnes of Cahath was Ariel the chefe, and of hys brethren there were an hundred and .xx.
6 Of the chyldren of Merari: Asaia the chefe, and of hys brethren two hundred and .xx.
7 Of the sonnes of Gersom: Ioel the chefe, and of hys brethren an hundred and thyrtye.
8 Of the chyldren of Elizapan: Semaia the chefe, and of hys brethren two hundred.
9 Of the sonnes of Hebron: Eliel the chefe, and of hys brethren .lxxx.
10 Of the sonnes of Uziel: Aminadab the chefe, and of hys brethren an hundred and twelue.
11 And Dauid called Zadock and Abiathar the preastes, and the Leuites, Uziel, Asaia Ioel, Semaia, Eliel and Aminadab:
12 & sayde vnto them: ye that are the princypall fathers of the Leuites, se that ye be holy with youre brethren, that ye maye bringe in the Arcke of the Lorde God of Israel, vnto the place that I haue prepared for it.
13 For because ye were not there at the fyrst, the Lord oure God made a rent amonge vs, for that we sought hym not as the fasshyon ought to be.
14 So the preastes and the Leuites sanctifyed them selues, to fett the Arcke of the Lord God of Israel.
15 And the children of the Leuites bare the Arcke of God, vpon theyr shulders with staues theron, as Moses commaunded accordynge to the worde of the Lorde.
16 And Dauid spake to the chefe heedes of the Leuites, that they shulde appoynte certayne of theyr brethren to synge with instrumentes of Musicke, psalteries, harpes and symbales that they might make a sounde, and to synge on hye with Ioyfulnesse:
17 And the Leuites appoynted Heman the sonne of Ioel: and (of his brethren) Asaph the sonne of Berechia. And of the sonnes of Merari and of theyr brethren Ethan the sonne of Cusaiahu.
