1 Chronicles 15:11 In-Context

9 from the descendants of Hevron: Eli'el the chief, and eighty of his kinsmen;
10 and from the descendants of 'Uzi'el: 'Amminadav the chief, and 112 of his kinsmen.
11 David called for Tzadok and Evyatar the cohanim and for the L'vi'im - Uri'el, 'Asayah, Yo'el, Sh'ma'yah, Eli'el and 'Amminadav -
12 and said to them, "You are the clan leaders of the L'vi'im. Consecrate yourselves, both you and your kinsmen, to bring the ark of ADONAI the God of Isra'el up to the place I have prepared for it.
13 It's because you weren't there the first time that ADONAI our God broke out against us. We didn't seek him out according to the rule."
