1 David built houses made for himself in the City of David; he then prepared a place for the Ark of God and pitched a tent for it.
2 Then David said, “No one should carry the Ark of God except the Levites, for Adonai has chosen them to carry the Ark of Adonai and to serve Him forever.”
3 David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem to bring the Ark of Adonai up to its place that he had prepared for it.
4 David gathered together the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
5 from the sons of Kohath: Uriel the leader and 120 of his kinsmen;
6 from the sons of Merari: Asaiah the leader and 220 0f his kinsmen;
7 from the sons of Gershom: Joel the leader with 130 of his kinsmen;
