1	And David made# him houses in the city of David, and prepared# a place for the ark of God, and pitched# for it a tent.
			2	Then David said# , None ought to carry# the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen# to carry# the ark of God, and to minister# unto him for ever. [None...: Heb. It is not to carry the ark of God, but for the Levites]
			3	And David gathered# all Israel together# to Jerusalem, to bring up# the ark of the LORD unto his place, which he had prepared# for it.
			4	And David assembled# the children of Aaron, and the Levites:
			5	Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty: [brethren: or, kinsmen]
			6	Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:
			7	Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and thirty:
			8	Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred:
			9	Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore:
			10	Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve# .
			11	And David called# for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,
			12	And said# unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify# yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up# the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared# for it.
			13	For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach# upon us, for that we sought# him not after the due order.
			14	So the priests and the Levites sanctified# themselves to bring up# the ark of the LORD God of Israel.
			15	And the children of the Levites bare# the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded# according to the word of the LORD.
			16	And David spake# to the chief of the Levites to appoint# their brethren to be the singers# with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding# , by lifting up# the voice with joy.
			17	So the Levites appointed# Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;
			18	And 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 Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters.
			19	So the singers# , Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to sound# with cymbals of brass;
			20	And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;
			21	And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel# . [on the...: or, on the eighth to oversee]
			22	And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skilful# . [was for...: or, was for the carriage: he instructed about the carriage] [song: Heb. lifting up]
			23	And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.
			24	And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow# # # # with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.
			25	So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went# to bring up# the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the house of Obededom with joy.
			26	And it came to pass, when God helped# the Levites that bare# the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered# seven bullocks and seven rams.
			27	And David was clothed# with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare# the ark, and the singers# , and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers# : David also had upon him an ephod of linen. [song: or, carriage]
			28	Thus all Israel brought up# the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise# with psalteries and harps.
			29	And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came# to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looking out# at a window saw# king David dancing# and playing# : and she despised# him in her heart.
