I Chronicles 15

1And he made him houses, in the city of David,—and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.

1 Chronicles 16:1, 1 Chronicles 16:1, 1 Chronicles 17:1, 1 Chronicles 17:5, Psalms 132:5

2Then, said David, None must carry the ark of God, save the Levites,—for, of them, did Yahweh make choice, to bear the ark of Yahweh, and to attend it, unto times age-abiding.

Deuteronomy 10:8, Deuteronomy 10:8, Deuteronomy 31:9, Deuteronomy 31:9, Jeremiah 33:17

3So David convoked all Israel, unto Jerusalem,—to bring up the ark of Yahweh, unto the place thereof, which he had prepared for it.

1 Chronicles 13:5, 1 Kings 8:1, 1 Chronicles 13:5, 1 Kings 8:1, 1 Chronicles 15:1

4And David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites:

1 Chronicles 6:49, 1 Chronicles 6:50, Exodus 6:16, Exodus 6:22, Numbers 3:4

5Of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brethren, one hundred and twenty;

1 Chronicles 6:22, 1 Chronicles 6:24, 1 Chronicles 6:22, 1 Chronicles 6:24

6of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brethren, two hundred and twenty;

1 Chronicles 6:29, 1 Chronicles 6:30, 1 Chronicles 6:29, 1 Chronicles 6:30

7of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brethren, one hundred and thirty;

1 Chronicles 23:8, 1 Chronicles 15:11, 1 Chronicles 23:8, 1 Chronicles 15:11

8of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren, two hundred;

Exodus 6:22, Exodus 6:22

9of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brethren, eighty;

Exodus 6:18, Exodus 6:18, 1 Chronicles 23:12, 1 Chronicles 23:19, 1 Chronicles 26:30

10of the son of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and twelve.

Exodus 6:18, 1 Chronicles 23:12, 1 Chronicles 6:22, 1 Chronicles 6:18, Exodus 6:22

11Then called David, for Zadok and for Abiathar, the priests,—and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah and Joel, Shemaiah and Eliel, and Amminadab;

1 Chronicles 12:28, 1 Chronicles 12:28, 1 Kings 2:35, 1 Samuel 22:20, 1 Samuel 22:23

12and said unto them, Ye, are the chiefs of the fathers of the Levites,—Hallow yourselves, ye and your brethren, so shall ye bring up the ark of Yahweh—God of Israel, into [the place] I have prepared for it.

2 Chronicles 35:6, 2 Chronicles 35:6, Exodus 19:14, Exodus 19:15, Exodus 19:14

13Because, at the first, ye, did not [bring it], Yahweh our God brake forth against us, because we sought him not in the appointed way.

2 Samuel 6:3, 2 Samuel 6:3, 1 Corinthians 14:40, 1 Corinthians 14:40, 1 John 1:8

14So the priests and the Levites hallowed themselves,—to bring up the ark of Yahweh, God of Israel.

Leviticus 10:3, 2 Chronicles 29:15, Joel 2:16, Joel 2:17, 2 Chronicles 29:34

15And the sons of the Levites bare the ark of God, just as Moses commanded, according to the word of Yahweh,—on their shoulder, with the staves upon them.

Numbers 4:15, Numbers 4:15, Numbers 7:9, Numbers 7:9, Exodus 25:12

16And David spake to the chiefs of the Levites, to station their brethren the singers, with instruments of song, harps and lyres, and cymbals,—sounding aloud at the lifting up of the voice, for joy.

1 Chronicles 13:8, 1 Chronicles 13:8, Nehemiah 12:36, 1 Chronicles 23:5, 2 Chronicles 5:13

17So the Levites caused to stand, Heman son of Joel, and, of his brethren, Asaph, son of Berechiah,—and, of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan, son of Kushaiah;

1 Chronicles 6:33, 1 Chronicles 6:44, 1 Chronicles 6:39, 1 Chronicles 6:33, 1 Chronicles 6:44

18and, with them, their brethren of the second degree,—Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mickneiah, and Obed-edom and Jeiel, the door-keepers.

1 Chronicles 26:4, 1 Chronicles 26:4, 1 Chronicles 25:2, 1 Chronicles 25:6, 1 Chronicles 16:38

19And, the singers, Heman, Asaph and Ethan, with cymbals of bronze, were to sound aloud;

1 Chronicles 25:6, 1 Chronicles 25:6, 1 Chronicles 15:16, 1 Chronicles 16:5, 1 Chronicles 25:1

20and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah and Benaiah,—with harps, over the trebles;

Psalms 46:1, Psalms 46:11, Psalms 46:1, Psalms 46:11

21and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel and Azaziah,—with lyres over the bass, to take the lead.

1 Chronicles 15:18, Psalms 92:3, Psalms 150:3, Psalms 12:1, 1 Chronicles 25:6

22And, Chenaniah the leader of the Levites, in the service, used to give instructions in the service, because skilful was he.

1 Chronicles 15:27, 1 Chronicles 15:16, 1 Chronicles 25:7, 1 Chronicles 25:8, 1 Chronicles 15:27

23And, Berechiah and Elkanah, were door-keepers to the ark.

1 Chronicles 9:21, 1 Chronicles 9:23, Psalms 84:10, 2 Kings 22:4, 2 Kings 25:18

24And, Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, were blowing with the trumpets, before the ark of God,—and, Obed-edom and Jehiah, were door-keepers, to the ark.

1 Chronicles 16:6, 1 Chronicles 16:6, Numbers 10:8, 1 Chronicles 15:28, Numbers 10:8

25Thus, it was, David and the elders of Israel, and the rulers of thousands, who were going, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, out of the house of Obed-edom, with joy.

2 Samuel 6:12, 2 Samuel 6:23, 2 Samuel 6:12, 2 Samuel 6:23, 2 Chronicles 20:27

26And so it was that, when God helped the Levites, who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, they sacrificed seven bullocks and seven rams.

Numbers 23:29, Numbers 23:29, 1 Chronicles 29:14, Job 42:8, Psalms 66:13

27Now, David, was wrapped about with a robe of byssus, with all the Levites who were bearing the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the leader of the service rendered by the singers,—but, upon David, was an ephod of white linen.

2 Samuel 6:14, 2 Samuel 6:14, 1 Samuel 2:18, 1 Samuel 2:18

28So, all Israel, were bringing up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, with shouting, and with sound of the horn, and with trumpets, and with cymbals,—sounding aloud, with harps, and lyres.

1 Chronicles 13:8, 1 Chronicles 13:8, 1 Chronicles 15:16, 1 Chronicles 15:16, Psalms 47:1

29And so it was that, when the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came in as far as the city of David,—and Michal daughter of Saul looked forth through the window, and saw King David, dancing and playing, that she despised him in her heart.

2 Samuel 6:20, 2 Samuel 6:23, 2 Samuel 6:20, 2 Samuel 6:23, 2 Samuel 6:16
