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.
11
David called for Tzadok and Avyatar the Kohanim, and for the Levites, for Uri'el, `Asayah, and Yo'el, Shemayah, and Eli'el, and `Amminadav,
12
and said to them, You are the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both you and your brothers, that you may bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, to [the place] that I have prepared for it.
13
For because you didn't carry it at the first, the LORD our God made a breach on us, because we didn't seek him according to the ordinance.
14
So the Kohanim and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Yisra'el.
15
The children of the Levites bore the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles thereon, as Moshe commanded according to the word of the LORD.
