Of the sons of Elisaphan, Semeias the chief: and his brethren two hundred.
9
Of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief: and his brethren eighty.
10
Of the sons of Oziel, Aminadab the chief: and his brethren a hundred and twelve.
11
And David called Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, and the Levites, Uriel, Asaia, Joel, Semeia, Eliel, and Aminadab:
12
And he said to them: You that are the heads of the Levitical families, be sanctified with your brethren, and bring the ark of the Lord the God of Israel to the place, which is prepared for it:
13
Lest as the Lord at first struck us, because you were not present, the same should now also come to pass, by our doing some thing against the law.
14
So the priests and the Levites were sanctified, to carry the ark of the Lord the God of Israel.
15
And the sons of Levi took the ark of God as Moses had commanded, according to the word of the Lord, upon their shoulders, with the staves.
