8
of the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah, 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 Uzziel: Amminadab, the chief, and his brethren, one hundred and twelve.
11
And David also called for Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab
12
and said unto them, Ye
are the chief of the fathers among the Levites; sanctify yourselves and your brethren and bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto
the place that I have prepared for it,
13
for because ye did not
do it thus at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us because we did not seek him according to his ordinance.
14
So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.
15
And the sons of the Levites bore the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the LORD.
16
And David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint of their brethren as singers with instruments of music, with psalteries and harps and cymbals sounding, and to lift up their voice with joy.
17
So the Levites appointed Heman, the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph, the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari and of their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah,
18
and with them their brethren of the second order, Zechariah, Ben, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah, Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters.
