Plans to Move the Ark to Jerusalem

1 Now David built houses for himself in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God and 1pitched a tent for it.
2 Then David said, "2No one is to carry the ark of God but the Levites; for the LORD chose them to carry the ark of God and to minister to Him forever *."
3 And 3David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the LORD 4to its place which he had prepared for it.
4 David gathered together the sons of Aaron and 5the Levites:
5 of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and 120 * of his relatives;
6 of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and 220 * of his relatives;
7 of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and 130 * of his relatives;
