the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God,

Then David said, “No

And said unto

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.
And he
said to
them, “You
are the heads
of the Levitical
families.
You
and your relatives
must
consecrate
yourselves
so
that you
may bring the ark of the LORD ,
the
God of Israel ,
to
the place I have prepared for it.
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.
It was
because
you
Levites
were
not with
us
the first time
that
the LORD our God burst
forth
in
anger
against
us .
For we did
not consult
Him
about
the proper
order. ”
