1 Chronicles 15:11-15

New King James Version

¹¹ And David called for ^(A)Zadok and ^(B)Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites: for Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab. ¹² He said to them, “You are the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites; ^[a]sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, that you may bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place I have prepared for it. ¹³ For ^(C)because you did not do it the first time, ^(D)the Lord our God broke out against us, because we did not consult Him ^[b]about the proper order.”

¹⁴ So the priests and the Levites ^[c]sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel. ¹⁵ And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God on their shoulders, by its poles, as ^(E)Moses had commanded according to the word of the Lord.
