[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 has the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister to him forever.
3
David assembled all Yisra'el at Yerushalayim, to bring up the ark of the LORD to its place, which he had prepared for it.
4
David gathered together the sons of Aharon, and the Levites:
5
of the sons of Kehat, Uri'el the chief, and his brothers one hundred twenty;
6
of the sons of Merari, `Asayah the chief, and his brothers two hundred twenty;
7
of the sons of Gershom, Yo'el the chief, and his brothers one hundred thirty;
8
of the sons of Elitzafan, Shemayah the chief, and his brothers two hundred;
9
of the sons of Hevron, Eli'el the chief, and his brothers eighty;
10
of the sons of `Uzzi'el, `Amminadav the chief, and his brothers one hundred twelve.
