AND Daviyd made him houses in the city of Daviyd, and prepared a place for the Ark of Elohiym, and pitched for it a tent.
Then Daviyd said, None ought to carry the Ark of Elohiym but the Leviyiym: for them has Yahuah chosen to carry the Ark of Elohiym, and to minister unto him forever.
And Daviyd gathered all Yashar'el together to Yerushalayim, to bring up the Ark of Yahuah unto his place, which he had prepared for it.
And Daviyd assembled the children of Aharon, and the Leviyiym:
Of the sons of Qohath; Uriy'el the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twenty:
Of the sons of Merariy; Asayah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:
Of the sons of Gershem; Yo'el the chief, and his brethren a hundred and thirty:
Of the sons of Eliytsaphan; Shema'yahu the chief, and his brethren two hundred:
Of the sons of Chevron; Eliy'el the chief, and his brethren fourscore:
Of the sons of Uzziy'el; Ammiynadav the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twelve.
And Daviyd called for Tsadoq and Avyathar the priests, and for the Leviyiym, for Uriy'el, Asayah, and Yo'el, Shema'yahu, and Eliy'el, and Ammiynadav,
And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Leviyiym: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up את the Ark of Yahuah Elohai of Yashar'el unto the place that I have prepared for it.
For because ye did it not at the first, Yahuah Elohaynu made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.
So the priests and the Leviyiym sanctified themselves to bring up the Ark of Yahuah Elohai of Yashar'el.
And the children of the Leviyiym bore את the Ark of Elohiym upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Mosheh commanded according to the Word of Yahuah.
And Daviyd spoke to the chief of the Leviyiym to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.
So the Leviyiym appointed את Heyman the son of Yo'el; and of his brethren, Acaph the son of Berekyahu; and of the sons of Merariy their brethren, Eythan the son of Qushayahu;
And with them their brethren of the second degree, Zakaryahu, Ben, and Ya`aziy'el, and Shemiyramoth, and Yechiy'el, and Unniy, Eliy'av, and Benayahu, and Ma`aseyahu, and Mattithyahu, and Eliyphelehu, and Miqneyahu, and Oved Edom, and Ye'iy`el, the porters.
So the singers, Heyman, Acaph, and Eythan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass;
And Zakaryahu, and Aziy'el, and Shemiyramoth, and Yechiy'el, and Unniy, and Eliy'av, and Ma`aseyahu, and Benayahu, with psalteries on Alamoth;
And Mattithyahu, and Eliyphelehu, and Miqneyahu, and Oved Edom, and Ye'iy'el, and Azazyahu, with harps on the Shemiyniyth to excel.
And Kenanyahu, chief of the Leviyiym, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skilful.
And Berekyahu and Elqanah were doorkeepers for the Ark.
And Shevanyahu, and Yahushaphat, and Nethan'el, and Amasai, and Zakaryahu, and Benayahu, and Eliy`ezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the Ark of Elohiym: and Oved Edom and Yechiyah were doorkeepers for the Ark.
So Daviyd, and the elders of Yashar'el, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the Ark of the Covenant of Yahuah out of the house of Oved Edom with joy.
And it came to pass, when Elohiym helped the Leviyiym that bore the Ark of the Covenant of Yahuah, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.
And Daviyd was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Leviyiym that bore the Ark, and the singers, and Kenanyahu the master of the song with the singers: Daviyd also had upon him an ephod of linen.
Thus all Yashar'el brought up the Ark of the Covenant of Yahuah with shouting, and with sound of the shofar, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.
And it came to pass, as the Ark of the Covenant of Yahuah came to the city of Daviyd, that Miykal the daughter of Sha'ul looking out at a window saw king Daviyd dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.
