Complete Jewish Bible

15 David erected buildings for himself in the City of David, prepared a place for the ark of God, and set up a tent for it. ² Then David said, “No one but the L’vi’im should carry the ark of God, because Adonai chose them to carry the ark of Adonai and to serve him forever.”

³ David assembled all Isra’el in Yerushalayim to bring the ark of Adonai up to its place, which he had prepared for it.
