2 Then David said: "It is illicit for anyone to carry the ark of God except the Levites, whom the Lord chose to carry it and to minister to himself, even unto eternity."
3 And he gathered all of Israel in Jerusalem, so that the ark of God might be brought into its place, which he had prepared for it.
4 Certainly, there were both the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
5 From the sons of Kohath, Uriel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twenty.
6 From the sons of Merari: Asaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred twenty.
7 From the sons of Gershom: Joel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred thirty.
8 From the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred.
