And David madeH6213 him housesH1004 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, and preparedH3559 a placeH4725 for the arkH727 of GodH430, and pitchedH5186 for it a tentH168.
Then DavidH1732 saidH559, None ought to carryH5375 the arkH727 of GodH430 but the LevitesH3881: for them hath the LORDH3068 chosenH977 to carryH5375 the arkH727 of GodH430, and to ministerH8334 unto him forH5704 everH5769. {None…: Heb. It is not to carry the ark of God, but for the Levites}
And DavidH1732 gatheredH6950 all IsraelH3478 togetherH6950 to JerusalemH3389, to bring upH5927 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 unto his placeH4725, which he had preparedH3559 for it.
And DavidH1732 assembledH622 the childrenH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881:
Of the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955; UrielH222 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242: {brethren: or, kinsmen}
Of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847; AsaiahH6222 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 two hundredH3967 and twentyH6242:
Of the sonsH1121 of GershomH1647; JoelH3100 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 an hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970:
Of the sonsH1121 of ElizaphanH469; ShemaiahH8098 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 two hundredH3967:
Of the sonsH1121 of HebronH2275; ElielH447 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 fourscoreH8084:
Of the sonsH1121 of UzzielH5816; AmminadabH5992 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 an hundredH3967 and twelveH8147+H6240.
And DavidH1732 calledH7121 for ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 the priestsH3548, and for the LevitesH3881, for UrielH222, AsaiahH6222, and JoelH3100, ShemaiahH8098, and ElielH447, and AmminadabH5992,
And saidH559 unto them, Ye are the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of the LevitesH3881: sanctifyH6942 yourselves, both ye and your brethrenH251, that ye may bring upH5927 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 unto the place that I have preparedH3559 for it.
For because ye did it not at the firstH7223, the LORDH3068 our GodH430 made a breachH6555 upon us, for that we soughtH1875 him not after the due orderH4941.
So the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 sanctifiedH6942 themselves to bring upH5927 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
And the childrenH1121 of the LevitesH3881 bareH5375 the arkH727 of GodH430 upon their shouldersH3802 with the stavesH4133 thereon, as MosesH4872 commandedH6680 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
And DavidH1732 spakeH559 to the chiefH8269 of the LevitesH3881 to appointH5975 their brethrenH251 to be the singersH7891 with instrumentsH3627 of musickH7892, psalteriesH5035 and harpsH3658 and cymbalsH4700, soundingH8085, by lifting upH7311 the voiceH6963 with joyH8057.
So the LevitesH3881 appointedH5975 HemanH1968 the sonH1121 of JoelH3100; and of his brethrenH251, AsaphH623 the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296; and of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847 their brethrenH251, EthanH387 the sonH1121 of KushaiahH6984;
And with them their brethrenH251 of the secondH4932 degree, ZechariahH2148, BenH1122, and JaazielH3268, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehielH3171, and UnniH6042, EliabH446, and BenaiahH1141, and MaaseiahH4641, and MattithiahH4993, and EliphelehH466, and MikneiahH4737, and ObededomH5654, and JeielH3273, the portersH7778.
So the singersH7891, HemanH1968, AsaphH623, and EthanH387, were appointed to soundH8085 with cymbalsH4700 of brassH5178;
And ZechariahH2148, and AzielH5815, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehielH3171, and UnniH6042, and EliabH446, and MaaseiahH4641, and BenaiahH1141, with psalteriesH5035 on AlamothH5961;
And MattithiahH4993, and EliphelehH466, and MikneiahH4737, and ObededomH5654, and JeielH3273, and AzaziahH5812, with harpsH3658 on the SheminithH8067 to excelH5329. {on the…: or, on the eighth to oversee}
And ChenaniahH3663, chiefH8269 of the LevitesH3881, was for songH4853: he instructedH3256 about the songH4853, because he was skilfulH995. {was for…: or, was for the carriage: he instructed about the carriage} {song: Heb. lifting up}
And BerechiahH1296 and ElkanahH511 were doorkeepersH7778 for the arkH727.
And ShebaniahH7645, and JehoshaphatH3146, and NethaneelH5417, and AmasaiH6022, and ZechariahH2148, and BenaiahH1141, and EliezerH461, the priestsH3548, did blowH2690+H2690 with the trumpetsH2689 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of GodH430: and ObededomH5654 and JehiahH3174 were doorkeepersH7778 for the arkH727.
So DavidH1732, and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and the captainsH8269 over thousandsH505, wentH1980 to bring upH5927 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 out of the houseH1004 of ObededomH5654 with joyH8057.
And it came to pass, when GodH430 helpedH5826 the LevitesH3881 that bareH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, that they offeredH2076 sevenH7651 bullocksH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352.
And DavidH1732 was clothedH3736 with a robeH4598 of fine linenH948, and all the LevitesH3881 that bareH5375 the arkH727, and the singersH7891, and ChenaniahH3663 the masterH8269 of the songH4853 with the singersH7891: DavidH1732 also had upon him an ephodH646 of linenH906. {song: or, carriage}
Thus all IsraelH3478 brought upH5927 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 with shoutingH8643, and with soundH6963 of the cornetH7782, and with trumpetsH2689, and with cymbalsH4700, making a noiseH8085 with psalteriesH5035 and harpsH3658.
And it came to pass, as the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 cameH935 to the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, that MichalH4324 the daughterH1323 of SaulH7586 looking outH8259 at a windowH2474 sawH7200 kingH4428 DavidH1732 dancingH7540 and playingH7832: and she despisedH959 him in her heartH3820.

TakeH5375 the sumH7218 of the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955 from amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, after their familiesH4940, by the houseH1004 of their fathersH1,
From thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605 even until fiftyH2572 yearsH8141 oldH1121, all that enterH935 into the hostH6635, to doH6213 the workH4399 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
This shall be the serviceH5656 of the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, about the mostH6944 holy thingsH6944:
And when the campH4264 setteth forwardH5265, AaronH175 shall comeH935, and his sonsH1121, and they shall take downH3381 the coveringH4539 vailH6532, and coverH3680 the arkH727 of testimonyH5715 with it:
And shall putH5414 thereon the coveringH3681 of badgers'H8476 skinsH5785, and shall spreadH6566 overH4605 it a clothH899 whollyH3632 of blueH8504, and shall putH7760 in the stavesH905 thereof.
And upon the tableH7979 of shewbreadH6440 they shall spreadH6566 a clothH899 of blueH8504, and putH5414 thereon the dishesH7086, and the spoonsH3709, and the bowlsH4518, and coversH7184 to cover withalH5262: and the continualH8548 breadH3899 shall be thereon: {cover…: or, pour out withal}
And they shall spreadH6566 upon them a clothH899 of scarletH8438+H8144, and coverH3680 the same with a coveringH4372 of badgers'H8476 skinsH5785, and shall putH7760 in the stavesH905 thereof.
And they shall takeH3947 a clothH899 of blueH8504, and coverH3680 the candlestickH4501 of the lightH3974, and his lampsH5216, and his tongsH4457, and his snuffdishesH4289, and all the oilH8081 vesselsH3627 thereof, wherewith they ministerH8334 unto it:
And they shall putH5414 it and all the vesselsH3627 thereof within a coveringH4372 of badgers'H8476 skinsH5785, and shall putH5414 it upon a barH4132.
And upon the goldenH2091 altarH4196 they shall spreadH6566 a clothH899 of blueH8504, and coverH3680 it with a coveringH4372 of badgers'H8476 skinsH5785, and shall putH7760 to the stavesH905 thereof:
And they shall takeH3947 all the instrumentsH3627 of ministryH8335, wherewith they ministerH8334 in the sanctuaryH6944, and putH5414 them in a clothH899 of blueH8504, and coverH3680 them with a coveringH4372 of badgers'H8476 skinsH5785, and shall putH5414 them on a barH4132:
And they shall take away the ashesH1878 from the altarH4196, and spreadH6566 a purpleH713 clothH899 thereon:
And they shall putH5414 upon it all the vesselsH3627 thereof, wherewith they ministerH8334 about it, even the censersH4289, the fleshhooksH4207, and the shovelsH3257, and the basonsH4219, all the vesselsH3627 of the altarH4196; and they shall spreadH6566 upon it a coveringH3681 of badgers'H8476 skinsH5785, and putH7760 to the stavesH905 of it. {basons: or, bowls}
And when AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 have made an endH3615 of coveringH3680 the sanctuaryH6944, and all the vesselsH3627 of the sanctuaryH6944, as the campH4264 is to set forwardH5265; afterH310 that, the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955 shall comeH935 to bearH5375 it: but they shall not touchH5060 any holy thingH6944, lest they dieH4191. These things are the burdenH4853 of the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
And thou shalt setH5975 the LevitesH3881 beforeH6440 AaronH175, and beforeH6440 his sonsH1121, and offerH5130 them for an offeringH8573 unto the LORDH3068.
But thus doH6213 unto them, that they may liveH2421, and not dieH4191, when they approachH5066 unto the mostH6944 holy thingsH6944: AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 shall go inH935, and appointH7760 them everyH376 oneH376 to his serviceH5656 and to his burdenH4853:
Thus shalt thou separateH914 the LevitesH3881 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and the LevitesH3881 shall be mine.
But they shall not go inH935 to seeH7200 when the holy thingsH6944 are coveredH1104, lest they dieH4191.
This is it that belongeth unto the LevitesH3881: from twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605 they shall go inH935 to waitH6633+H6635 upon the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150: {to…: Heb. to war the warfare of, etc}
And from the ageH1121 of fiftyH2572 yearsH8141 they shall ceaseH7725 waitingH6635 upon the serviceH5656 thereof, and shall serveH5647 no more: {cease…: Heb. return from the warfare of the service}
But shall ministerH8334 with their brethrenH251 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, to keepH8104 the chargeH4931, and shall doH5647 no serviceH5656. Thus shalt thou doH6213 unto the LevitesH3881 touching their chargeH4931.
But unto the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955 he gaveH5414 noneH3808: because the serviceH5656 of the sanctuaryH6944 belonging unto them was that they should bearH5375 upon their shouldersH3802.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto AaronH175, Thou and thy sonsH1121 and thy father'sH1 houseH1004 with thee shall bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the sanctuaryH4720: and thou and thy sonsH1121 with thee shall bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of your priesthoodH3550.
And thy brethrenH251 also of the tribeH4294 of LeviH3878, the tribeH7626 of thy fatherH1, bringH7126 thou with thee, that they may be joinedH3867 unto thee, and ministerH8334 unto thee: but thou and thy sonsH1121 with thee shall minister beforeH6440 the tabernacleH168 of witnessH5715.
And they shall keepH8104 thy chargeH4931, and the chargeH4931 of all the tabernacleH168: only they shall not come nighH7126 the vesselsH3627 of the sanctuaryH6944 and the altarH4196, that neither they, nor ye also, dieH4191.
And they shall be joinedH3867 unto thee, and keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, for all the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH168: and a strangerH2114 shall not come nighH7126 unto you.
And ye shall keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the sanctuaryH6944, and the chargeH4931 of the altarH4196: that there be no wrathH7110 any more upon the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And I, behold, I have takenH3947 your brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: to you they are givenH5414 as a giftH4979 for the LORDH3068, to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
Therefore thou and thy sonsH1121 with thee shall keepH8104 your priest's officeH3550 for every thingH1697 of the altarH4196, and withinH1004 the vailH6532; and ye shall serveH5647: I have givenH5414 your priest's officeH3550 unto you as a serviceH5656 of giftH4979: and the strangerH2114 that cometh nighH7131 shall be put to deathH4191.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto AaronH175, Behold, I also have givenH5414 thee the chargeH4931 of mine heave offeringsH8641 of all the hallowed thingsH6944 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; unto thee have I givenH5414 them by reason of the anointingH4888, and to thy sonsH1121, by an ordinanceH2706 for everH5769.
At that timeH6256 the LORDH3068 separatedH914 the tribeH7626 of LeviH3878, to bearH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, to standH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to ministerH8334 unto him, and to blessH1288 in his nameH8034, unto this dayH3117.
And MosesH4872 wroteH3789 this lawH8451, and deliveredH5414 it unto the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, which bareH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, and unto all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; DavidH1732 shall neverH3808 wantH3772 a manH376 to sitH3427 upon the throneH3678 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; {David…: Heb. There shall not be cut off from David}
Neither shall the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 wantH3772 a manH376 beforeH6440 me to offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930, and to kindleH6999 meat offeringsH4503, and to doH6213 sacrificeH2077 continuallyH3117.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; If ye can breakH6565 my covenantH1285 of the dayH3117, and my covenantH1285 of the nightH3915, and that there should not be dayH3119 and nightH3915 in their seasonH6256;
Then may also my covenantH1285 be brokenH6565 with DavidH1732 my servantH5650, that he should not have a sonH1121 to reignH4427 upon his throneH3678; and with the LevitesH3881 the priestsH3548, my ministersH8334.
As the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 cannot be numberedH5608, neither the sandH2344 of the seaH3220 measuredH4058: so will I multiplyH7235 the seedH2233 of DavidH1732 my servantH5650, and the LevitesH3881 that ministerH8334 unto me.
And they commandedH6680 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, When ye seeH7200 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 bearingH5375 it, then ye shall removeH5265 from your placeH4725, and goH1980 afterH310 it.
And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 calledH7121 the priestsH3548, and saidH559 unto them, Take upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and let sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068.
And saidH559 unto the LevitesH3881 that taughtH995+H4000 all IsraelH3478, which were holyH6918 unto the LORDH3068, PutH5414 the holyH6944 arkH727 in the houseH1004 which SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 did buildH1129; it shall not be a burdenH4853 upon your shouldersH3802: serveH5647 now the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478,
