chapter 15
1
He
made also houses for himself in the city of David: and built a place for the
ark of God, and pitched a tabernacle for it.
2 Then David said: No one ought to carry the ark of
God, but the Levites, whom the Lord hath chosen to carry it, and to minister unto
himself for ever.
3 And he gathered all Israel together into Jerusalem,
that the ark of God might be brought into its place, which he had prepared for
it.
4 And the sons of Aaron also, and the Levites.
5 Of the children of Caath, Uriel was the chief, and
his brethren a hundred and twenty.
6 Of the sons of Merari, Asaia the chief, and his
brethren two hundred and twenty.
7 Of the sons of Gersom, Joel the chief, and his
brethren a hundred and thirty.
8 Of the sons of Elisaphan, Semeias the chief: and his
brethren two hundred.
9 Of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief: and his
brethren eighty.
10 Of the sons of Oziel, Aminadab the chief: and his
brethren a hundred and twelve.
11 And David called Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests,
and the Levites, Uriel, Asaia, Joel, Semeia, Eliel, and Aminadab:
12 And he said to them: You that are the heads of the
Levitical families, be sanctified with your brethren, and brine the ark of the
Lord the God of Israel to the place, which is prepared for it:
13 Lest as the Lord at first struck us, because you
were not present, the same should now also come to pass, by our doing some
thing against the law.
14 So the priests and the Levites were sanctified, to
carry the ark of the Lord the God of Israel.
15 And the sons of Levi took the ark of God as Moses had
commanded, according to the word of the Lord, upon their shoulders, with the
staves.
16 And David spoke to the chiefs of the Levites, to
appoint some of their brethren to be singers with musical instruments, to wit,
on psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, that the joyful noise might resound on
high.
17 And they appointed Levites, Hemam the son of Joel,
and of his brethren Asaph the son of Barachias: and of the sons of Merari,
their brethren: Ethan the son of Casaia.
18 And with them their brethren: in the second rank,
Zacharias, and Ben, and Jaziel, and Semiramoth, and Jahiel, and Ani, and Eliab,
and Banaias, and Maasias, and Mathathias, and Eliphalu, and Macenias, and
Obededom, and Jehiel, the porters.
19 Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, sounded
with cymbals of brass.
20 And Zacharias, and Oziel, and Semiramoth, and
Jehiel, and Ani, and Eliab, and Maasias, and Banaias, sung mysteries upon
psalteries.
21 And Mathathias, and Eliphalu, and Macenias and
Obededom, and Jehiel and Ozaziu, sung a song of victory for the octave upon
harps.
22 And Chonenias chief of the Levites, presided over
the prophecy, to give out the tunes: for he was very skilful.
23 And Barachias, and Elcana, were doorkeepers of the
ark.
24 And Sebenias, and Josaphat, and Nathanael, and
Amasai, and Zacharias, and Banaias, and Eliezer the priests, sounded with
trumpets, before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehias were porters of the
ark.
25 So David and all the ancients of Israel, and the
captains over thousands, went to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out
of the house of Obededom with joy.
26 And when God had helped the Levites who carried the
ark of the covenant of the Lord, they offered in sacrifice seven oxen, and
seven rams.
27 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and
all the Levites that carried the ark, and the singing men, and Chonenias the
ruler of the prophecy among the singers: and David also had on him an ephod of
linen.
28 And all Israel brought the ark of the covenant of
the Lord with joyful shouting, and sounding with the sound of the comet, and
with trumpets, and cymbals, and psalteries, and harps.
29 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was
come to the city of David, Michol the daughter of Saul looking out at a window,
saw king David dancing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.
