  1 H6213 And David made [H8799]   H1004 him houses H5892 in the city H1732 of David H3559 , and prepared [H8686]   H4725 a place H727 for the ark H430 of God H5186 , and pitched [H8799]   H168 for it a tent.
  2 H1732 Then David H559 said [H8804]   H5375 , None ought to carry [H8800]   H727 the ark H430 of God H3881 but the Levites H3068 : for them hath the LORD H977 chosen [H8804]   H5375 to carry [H8800]   H727 the ark H430 of God H8334 , and to minister [H8763]   H5704 unto him for H5769 ever.
  3 H1732 And David H6950 gathered H3478 all Israel H6950 together [H8686]   H3389 to Jerusalem H5927 , to bring up [H8687]   H727 the ark H3068 of the LORD H4725 unto his place H3559 , which he had prepared [H8689]   for it.
  4 H1732 And David H622 assembled [H8799]   H1121 the children H175 of Aaron H3881 , and the Levites:
  5 H1121 Of the sons H6955 of Kohath H222 ; Uriel H8269 the chief H251 , and his brethren H3967 an hundred H6242 and twenty:
  6 H1121 Of the sons H4847 of Merari H6222 ; Asaiah H8269 the chief H251 , and his brethren H3967 two hundred H6242 and twenty:
  7 H1121 Of the sons H1647 of Gershom H3100 ; Joel H8269 the chief H251 , and his brethren H3967 an hundred H7970 and thirty:
  8 H1121 Of the sons H469 of Elizaphan H8098 ; Shemaiah H8269 the chief H251 , and his brethren H3967 two hundred:
  9 H1121 Of the sons H2275 of Hebron H447 ; Eliel H8269 the chief H251 , and his brethren H8084 fourscore:
  10 H1121 Of the sons H5816 of Uzziel H5992 ; Amminadab H8269 the chief H251 , and his brethren H3967 an hundred H8147 and twelve H6240  .
  11 H1732 And David H7121 called [H8799]   H6659 for Zadok H54 and Abiathar H3548 the priests H3881 , and for the Levites H222 , for Uriel H6222 , Asaiah H3100 , and Joel H8098 , Shemaiah H447 , and Eliel H5992 , and Amminadab,
  12 H559 And said [H8799]   H7218 unto them, Ye are the chief H1 of the fathers H3881 of the Levites H6942 : sanctify [H8690]   H251 yourselves, both ye and your brethren H5927 , that ye may bring up [H8689]   H727 the ark H3068 of the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H3559 unto the place that I have prepared [H8689]   for it.
  13 H7223 For because ye did it not at the first H3068 , the LORD H430 our God H6555 made a breach [H8804]   H1875 upon us, for that we sought [H8804]   H4941 him not after the due order.
  14 H3548 So the priests H3881 and the Levites H6942 sanctified [H8691]   H5927 themselves to bring up [H8687]   H727 the ark H3068 of the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel.
  15 H1121 And the children H3881 of the Levites H5375 bare [H8799]   H727 the ark H430 of God H3802 upon their shoulders H4133 with the staves H4872 thereon, as Moses H6680 commanded [H8765]   H1697 according to the word H3068 of the LORD.
  16 H1732 And David H559 spake [H8799]   H8269 to the chief H3881 of the Levites H5975 to appoint [H8687]   H251 their brethren H7891 to be the singers [H8789]   H3627 with instruments H7892 of musick H5035 , psalteries H3658 and harps H4700 and cymbals H8085 , sounding [H8688]   H7311 , by lifting up [H8687]   H6963 the voice H8057 with joy.
  17 H3881 So the Levites H5975 appointed [H8686]   H1968 Heman H1121 the son H3100 of Joel H251 ; and of his brethren H623 , Asaph H1121 the son H1296 of Berechiah H1121 ; and of the sons H4847 of Merari H251 their brethren H387 , Ethan H1121 the son H6984 of Kushaiah;
  18 H251 And with them their brethren H4932 of the second H2148 degree, Zechariah H1122 , Ben H3268 , and Jaaziel H8070 , and Shemiramoth H3171 , and Jehiel H6042 , and Unni H446 , Eliab H1141 , and Benaiah H4641 , and Maaseiah H4993 , and Mattithiah H466 , and Elipheleh H4737 , and Mikneiah H5654 , and Obededom H3273 , and Jeiel H7778 , the porters.
  19 H7891 So the singers [H8789]   H1968 , Heman H623 , Asaph H387 , and Ethan H8085 , were appointed to sound [H8687]   H4700 with cymbals H5178 of brass;
  20 H2148 And Zechariah H5815 , and Aziel H8070 , and Shemiramoth H3171 , and Jehiel H6042 , and Unni H446 , and Eliab H4641 , and Maaseiah H1141 , and Benaiah H5035 , with psalteries H5961 on Alamoth;
  21 H4993 And Mattithiah H466 , and Elipheleh H4737 , and Mikneiah H5654 , and Obededom H3273 , and Jeiel H5812 , and Azaziah H3658 , with harps H8067 on the Sheminith H5329 to excel [H8763]  .
  22 H3663 And Chenaniah H8269 , chief H3881 of the Levites H4853 , was for song H3256 : he instructed H4853 about the song H995 , because he was skilful [H8688]  .
  23 H1296 And Berechiah H511 and Elkanah H7778 were doorkeepers H727 for the ark.
  24 H7645 And Shebaniah H3146 , and Jehoshaphat H5417 , and Nethaneel H6022 , and Amasai H2148 , and Zechariah H1141 , and Benaiah H461 , and Eliezer H3548 , the priests H2690 , did blow [H8688]   [H8675]   H2690   [H8764]   H2689 with the trumpets H6440 before H727 the ark H430 of God H5654 : and Obededom H3174 and Jehiah H7778 were doorkeepers H727 for the ark.
  25 H1732 So David H2205 , and the elders H3478 of Israel H8269 , and the captains H505 over thousands H1980 , went [H8802]   H5927 to bring up [H8687]   H727 the ark H1285 of the covenant H3068 of the LORD H1004 out of the house H5654 of Obededom H8057 with joy.
  26 H430 And it came to pass, when God H5826 helped [H8800]   H3881 the Levites H5375 that bare [H8802]   H727 the ark H1285 of the covenant H3068 of the LORD H2076 , that they offered [H8799]   H7651 seven H6499 bullocks H7651 and seven H352 rams.
  27 H1732 And David H3736 was clothed [H8794]   H4598 with a robe H948 of fine linen H3881 , and all the Levites H5375 that bare [H8802]   H727 the ark H7891 , and the singers [H8789]   H3663 , and Chenaniah H8269 the master H4853 of the song H7891 with the singers [H8789]   H1732 : David H646 also had upon him an ephod H906 of linen.
  28 H3478 Thus all Israel H5927 brought up [H8688]   H727 the ark H1285 of the covenant H3068 of the LORD H8643 with shouting H6963 , and with sound H7782 of the cornet H2689 , and with trumpets H4700 , and with cymbals H8085 , making a noise [H8688]   H5035 with psalteries H3658 and harps.
  29 H727 And it came to pass, as the ark H1285 of the covenant H3068 of the LORD H935 came [H8804]   H5892 to the city H1732 of David H4324 , that Michal H1323 the daughter H7586 of Saul H8259 looking out [H8738]   H2474 at a window H7200 saw [H8799]   H4428 king H1732 David H7540 dancing [H8764]   H7832 and playing [H8764]   H959 : and she despised [H8799]   H3820 him in her heart.
ERV(i) 1 And [David] made him houses in the city of David; and he 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 assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD unto its place, which he had prepared for it. 4 And David gathered together the sons 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 heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, unto [the place] that I have prepared for it. 13 For because ye [bare it] not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not according to the ordinance. 14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the 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 the singers, with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding aloud and 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 Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers. 19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, [were appointed], with cymbals of brass to sound aloud; 20 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries set to Alamoth; 21 and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps set to the Sheminith, to lead. 22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the song: he instructed about the song, because he was skilful. 23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark. 24 And Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, 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 sacrificed 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: and David 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, sounding aloud 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 looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and playing; and she despised him in her heart.
