4
And David gathered together the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
5
of the sons of Kohath, Uri'el the chief, with a hundred and twenty of his brethren;
6
of the sons of Merar'i, Asai'ah the chief, with two hundred and twenty of his brethren;
7
of the sons of Gershom, Jo'el the chief, with a hundred and thirty of his brethren;
8
of the sons of Eli-za'phan, Shemai'ah the chief, with two hundred of his brethren;
9
of the sons of Hebron, Eli'el the chief, with eighty of his brethren;
10
of the sons of Uz'ziel, Ammin'adab the chief, with a hundred and twelve of his brethren.
11
Then David summoned the priests Zadok and Abi'athar, and the Levites Uri'el, Asai'ah, Jo'el, Shemai'ah, Eli'el, and Ammin'adab,
12
and said to them, "You are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, so that you may bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, to the place that I have prepared for it.
13
Because you did not carry it the first time, the LORD our God broke forth upon us, because we did not care for it in the way that is ordained."
14
So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.
