David prepares to bring the chest to Jerusalem

15 After he had built houses for himself in David’s City, David prepared a place for God’s chest and pitched a tent for it. ² David said, “Only the Levites may carry God’s chest, because the Lord has chosen them to carry the Lord’s chest and to minister to him forever.”

³ David assembled all Israel in Jerusalem to bring the Lord’s chest to the place he had prepared for it.
