| 15:1 | And David made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent. |
| 15:2 | Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever. |
| 15:3 | And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD unto his place, which he had prepared for it. |
| 15:4 | And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites: |
| 15:5 | Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty: |
| 15:6 | Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty: |
| 15:7 | Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and thirty: |
| 15:8 | Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred: |
| 15:9 | Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore: |
| 15:10 | Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve. |
| 15:11 | And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab, |
| 15:11 | 大衛將祭司撒督和亞比亞他、並利未人烏列、亞帥雅、約珥、示瑪雅、以列、亞米拿達召來、 |
| 15:11 | 大卫将祭司撒督和亚比亚他，并利未人乌列，亚帅雅，约珥，示玛雅，以列，亚米拿达召来， |
| 1ch:6:8 | And Ahitub begat Zadok, and Zadok begat Ahimaaz, |
| 1ch:16:39 | And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon, |
| 1sa:22:20 | And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David. |
| 1ki:2:26 | And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the LORD God before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted. |

| 15:12 | And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for it. |
| 15:13 | For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order. |
| 15:14 | So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel. |
| 15:15 | And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD. |
| 15:16 | And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy. |
| 15:17 | So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah; |
| 15:18 | And with them their brethren of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters. |
| 15:19 | So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass; |
| 15:20 | And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth; |
| 15:21 | And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel. |
| 15:22 | And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skilful. |
| 15:23 | And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark. |
| 15:24 | And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark. |
| 15:25 | So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the house of Obededom with joy. |
| 15:26 | And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams. |
| 15:27 | And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also had upon him an ephod of linen. |
| 15:28 | Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps. |
| 15:29 | And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal, the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart. |
