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.
