12. And said[H559] unto them, Ye[H859] are the chief[H7218] of the fathers[H1] of the Levites:[H3881] sanctify yourselves,[H6942] both ye[H859] and your brethren,[H251] that ye may bring up[H5927] [H853] the ark[H727] of the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel[H3478] unto[H413] the place that I have prepared[H3559] for it.

13. For because[H3588] ye[H859] did it not[H3808] at the first,[H4480] [H7223] the LORD[H3068] our God[H430] made a breach[H6555] upon us, for[H3588] that we sought[H1875] him not[H3808] after the due order.[H4941]

14. So the priests[H3548] and the Levites[H3881] sanctified themselves[H6942] to bring up[H5927] [H853] the ark[H727] of the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel.[H3478]

15. And the children[H1121] of the Levites[H3881] bore[H5375] [H853] the ark[H727] of God[H430] upon their shoulders[H3802] with the staves[H4133] thereon,[H5921] as[H834] Moses[H4872] commanded[H6680] according to the word[H1697] of the LORD.[H3068]

16. And David[H1732] spoke[H559] to the chief[H8269] of the Levites[H3881] to appoint[H5975] [H853] their brethren[H251] to be the singers[H7891] with instruments[H3627] of music,[H7892] psalteries[H5035] and harps[H3658] and cymbals,[H4700] sounding,[H8085] by lifting up[H7311] the voice[H6963] with joy.[H8057]

17. So the Levites[H3881] appointed[H5975] [H853] Heman[H1968] the son[H1121] of Joel;[H3100] and of[H4480] his brethren,[H251] Asaph[H623] the son[H1121] of Berechiah;[H1296] and of[H4480] the sons[H1121] of Merari[H4847] their brethren,[H251] Ethan[H387] the son[H1121] of Kushaiah;[H6984]

18. And with[H5973] them their brethren[H251] of the second[H4932] degree, Zechariah,[H2148] Ben,[H1122] and Jaaziel,[H3268] and Shemiramoth,[H8070] and Jehiel,[H3171] and Unni,[H6042] Eliab,[H446] and Benaiah,[H1141] and Maaseiah,[H4641] and Mattithiah,[H4993] and Elipheleh,[H466] and Mikneiah,[H4737] and Obed-edom,[H5654] and Jeiel,[H3273] the porters.[H7778]

19. So the singers,[H7891] Heman,[H1968] Asaph,[H623] and Ethan,[H387] were appointed to sound[H8085] with cymbals[H4700] of brass;[H5178]

20. And Zechariah,[H2148] and Aziel,[H5815] and Shemiramoth,[H8070] and Jehiel,[H3171] and Unni,[H6042] and Eliab,[H446] and Maaseiah,[H4641] and Benaiah,[H1141] with psalteries[H5035] on[H5921] Alamoth;[H5961]

21. And Mattithiah,[H4993] and Elipheleh,[H466] and Mikneiah,[H4737] and Obed-edom,[H5654] and Jeiel,[H3273] and Azaziah,[H5812] with harps[H3658] on[H5921] the Sheminith[H8067] to excel.[H5329]

22. And Chenaniah,[H3663] chief[H8269] of the Levites,[H3881] was for song:[H4853] he instructed[H3256] about the song,[H4853] because[H3588] he[H1931] was skillful.[H995]

23. And Berechiah[H1296] and Elkanah[H511] were doorkeepers[H7778] for the ark.[H727]

24. And Shebaniah,[H7645] and Jehoshaphat,[H3046] and Nethaneel,[H5417] and Amasai,[H6022] and Zechariah,[H2148] and Benaiah,[H1141] and Eliezer,[H461] the priests,[H3548] did blow[H2690] with the trumpets[H2689] before[H6440] the ark[H727] of God:[H430] and Obed-edom[H5654] and Jehiah[H3174] were doorkeepers[H7778] for the ark.[H727]

25. So[H1961] David,[H1732] and the elders[H2205] of Israel,[H3478] and the captains[H8269] over thousands,[H505] went[H1980] to bring up[H5927] [H853] the ark[H727] of the covenant[H1285] of the LORD[H3068] out of[H4480] the house[H1004] of Obed-edom[H5654] with joy.[H8057]

26. And it came to pass,[H1961] when God[H430] helped[H5826] [H853] the Levites[H3881] that bore[H5375] the ark[H727] of the covenant[H1285] of the LORD,[H3068] that they offered[H2076] seven[H7651] bullocks[H6499] and seven[H7651] rams.[H352]

27. And David[H1732] was clothed[H3736] with a robe[H4598] of fine linen,[H948] and all[H3605] the Levites[H3881] that bore[H5375] [H853] the ark,[H727] and the singers,[H7891] and Chenaniah[H3663] the master[H8269] of the song[H4853] with the singers:[H7891] David[H1732] also had upon him an ephod[H646] of linen.[H906]

28. Thus all[H3605] Israel[H3478] brought up[H5927] [H853] the ark[H727] of the covenant[H1285] of the LORD[H3068] with shouting,[H8643] and with sound[H6963] of the cornet,[H7782] and with trumpets,[H2689] and with cymbals,[H4700] making a noise[H8085] with psalteries[H5035] and harps.[H3658]

29. And it came to pass,[H1961] as the ark[H727] of the covenant[H1285] of the LORD[H3068] came[H935] to[H5704] the city[H5892] of David,[H1732] that Michal[H4324] the daughter[H1323] of Saul[H7586] looking out[H8259] at[H1157] a window[H2474] saw[H7200] [H853] king[H4428] David[H1732] dancing[H7540] and playing:[H7832] and she despised[H959] him in her heart.[H3820]
