3
David assembled all Isra'el in Yerushalayim to bring the ark of ADONAI up to its place, which he had prepared for it.
4
David gathered together the descendants of Aharon and the L'vi'im:
5
from the descendants of K'hat: Uri'el the chief, and 120 of his kinsmen;
6
from the descendants of M'rari: 'Asayah the chief, and 220 of his kinsmen;
7
from the descendants of Gershom: Yo'el the chief, and 130 of his kinsmen;
8
from the descendants of Elitzafan: Sh'ma'yah the chief, and 200 of his kinsmen;
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."
