1 Chronicles 15:1-3

New Catholic Bible

Chapter 15

Carrying the Ark to Jerusalem. ¹ After David had constructed buildings for himself in the City of David, he prepared a place for the Ark of God, pitching a tent for it.

² David then said, “No one can carry the Ark of God except the Levites. The Lord has chosen them to carry the Ark of God and to minister to him forever.”

³ David assembled all of Israel in Jerusalem to bring the Ark of the Lord to the place that he had prepared for it.
