1 David had several buildings built in Jerusalem, and he had a tent set up where the sacred chest would be kept.
2 He said, “Only Levites will be allowed to carry the chest, because the Lord has chosen them to do that work and to serve him forever.”
3 Next, David invited everyone to come to Jerusalem and watch the sacred chest being carried to the place he had set up for it.
4 He also sent for Aaron's descendants and for the Levites. The Levites that came were:
5 Uriel, the leader of the Kohath clan, and 120 of his relatives;
6 Asaiah, the leader of the Merari clan, and 220 of his relatives;
7 Joel, the leader of the Gershon clan, and 130 of his relatives;
