1 For his own use, David built houses in David's City. He also prepared a place for God's Covenant Box and put up a tent for it.
2 Then he said, “Only Levites should carry the Covenant Box, because they are the ones the Lord chose to carry it and to serve him for ever.”
3 So David summoned all the people of Israel to Jerusalem in order to bring the Covenant Box to the place he had prepared for it.
4 Next he sent for the descendants of Aaron and for the Levites.
