1 Chronicles 15:1-3

World English Bible

15 David made himself houses in David’s city; and he prepared a place for God’s ark, and pitched a tent for it. ² Then David said, “No one ought to carry God’s ark but the Levites. For Yahweh has chosen them to carry God’s ark, and to minister to him forever.”

³ David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up Yahweh’s ark to its place, which he had prepared for it.
