1 Chronicles 15:11 In-Context

9 of the sons of Hebron, Eliel was prince, and his brethren fourscore; (of the sons of Hebron, Eliel was the leader, with eighty of his kinsmen;)
10 of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab was prince, and his brethren an hundred and twelve. (of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab was the leader, with one hundred and twelve of his kinsmen.)
11 And David called (for) Zadok and Abiathar (the) priests, and the deacons (and the Levites), Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab;
12 and said to them, Ye that be princes of the families of Levi, be ye hallowed with your brethren, and bring ye the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place, that is made ready to it; (and said to them, Ye who be the leaders of the families of the Levites, be ye consecrated, or purified, along with your kinsmen, and bring ye the Ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place, that was prepared for it;)
13 lest, as at the beginning, for ye were not present, the Lord smote us, so and now it be done, if we do any unleaveful thing. (because the first time, for ye were not present, the Lord struck us down, and so now it could be done to us again, if we do any unlawful thing.)
