Young's Literal Translation
David
constructed
buildings
for himself in the City of David, and he
prepared
a place for the ark of God and pitched
a
tent
for it.
And
he
maketh
for himself houses
in the city of David, and prepareth
a place for the ark of God ,
and stretcheth
out
for it a
tent
.
Then David
said, “No
one
but
the
Levites
may
carry the ark of God, because
the LORD
has
chosen
them to carry the ark of the
LORD
and to minister
before
Him forever
. ”
Then said David
, `None
`are'
to
carry the ark of God, except
the Levites,
for
on
them hath
Jehovah
fixed
to carry the ark of God,
and to serve
Him --
unto
the
age
. '
And David assembled
all Israel in
Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the
LORD
to
the
place he had prepared for it.
And David assembleth
all Israel unto
Jerusalem ,
to bring up the ark of Jehovah
unto
its
place that
he had prepared for it.
Then
he
gathered
together
the descendants
of Aaron and the Levites :
And
David
gathereth
the sons
of Aaron ,
and the Levites .
From
the
Kohathites,
Uriel the chief and 120
of
his relatives;
Of
sons

.

David summoned
the
priests
Zadok and Abiathar and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab .
And
David calleth
to
Zadok and to
Abiathar the
priests,
and to
the Levites ,
to
Uriel, Asaiah, and
Joel, Shemaiah, and
Eliel, and Amminadab ,
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 .
and saith
to them, `Ye
`
are '
heads of the fathers
of
the
Levites;
sanctify
yourselves,
ye
and your brethren,
and
ye
have
brought
up
the ark of Jehovah
, God of Israel, unto
`
the place '
I have prepared for it ;
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
. ”
because at
the first `it
was'
not
ye,
Jehovah
our God made
a
breach
upon
us ,
because
we sought
Him not
according
to
the ordinance
. '
So
the priests and Levites consecrated
themselves to bring up the ark of the
LORD
, the
God of Israel .
And
the priests and the
Levites sanctify
themselves ,
to bring up the ark of Jehovah
, God of Israel ;
And the Levites carried
the ark of God on
their
shoulders
with
the
poles
, as Moses had
commanded in
accordance
with
the word of the
LORD
.
and sons
of
the Levites bear
the ark of God, as Moses commanded ,
according
to
the word of Jehovah,
on
their
shoulder,
with
staves,
above
them
.
David also
told
the leaders
of the Levites to appoint their relatives
as
singers to
lift
up
their
voices
with
joy
, accompanied
by
musical
instruments —harps
, lyres
, and cymbals.
And
David saith
to
the heads
of the Levites to appoint their brethren
the
singers, with
instruments of
song
, psalteries
, and harps,
and
cymbals ,
sounding,
to
lift
up
with
the
voice
for
joy
.
So
the Levites appointed
Heman son of Joel ;
from
his brothers
, Asaph son of Berechiah ;
from
their
brothers
the Merarites
, Ethan son of Kushaiah;
And
the Levites appoint
Heman son of Joel ,
and
of
his brethren
, Asaph son of Berechiah ,
and
of
the sons
of
Merari
their
brethren
, Ethan son of Kushaiah;
and with them their brothers
next
in rank :
Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu
, Mikneiah ,
and the
gatekeepers
Obed-edom and Jeiel .
and with them their brethren,
the
seconds
`
in rank ',
Zechariah, Ben,
and
Jaaziel, and
Shemiramoth, and
Jehiel, and
Unni, Eliab, and
Benaiah, and
Maaseiah, and
Mattithiah, and
Elipheleh
, and
Mikneiah ;
and Obed-Edom and Jeiel the
gatekeepers;
The musicians
Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were
to sound the
bronze
cymbals.
and
the singers,
Heman, Asaph, and Ethan ,
with
cymbals
of
brass
to sound ,
Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel
, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were
to
play
the
harps
according
to
Alamoth.
and
Zechariah, and
Aziel, and
Shemiramoth, and
Jeheil
, and
Unni, and
Eliab, and
Maaseiah, and Benaiah ,
with
psalteries
besides
virgins,
And Mattithiah, Eliphelehu
, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were
to
lead
the
music
with lyres
according
to Sheminith
.
and Mattithiah, and
Elipheleh
, and
Mikneiah, and
Obed-Edom, and
Jeiel, and Azaziah ,
with harps,
on
the
octave,
to oversee
.
Chenaniah the
head Levite
was
the
director
of the music
because
he was
highly
skilled
.
And
Chenaniah ,
head of the Levites,
`is'
over
the
burden;
he instructeth
about
the
burden,
for
he
`is'
intelligent
.
Berechiah and Elkanah were
to
be
guardians
of
the ark.
And
Berechiah and Elkanah `are'
gatekeepers
for
the ark.
Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel
, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer —
the priests —were
to
blow
the
trumpets before the ark of God .
Obed-edom and Jehiah were
also
to
be
guardians
of
the ark.
And
Shebaniah, and
Joshaphat, and
Nethaneel
, and
Amasai, and
Zechariah, and
Benaiah, and Eliezer the priests ,
are
blowing
with
trumpets before the ark of God ;
and
Obed-Edom and Jehiah `are'
gatekeepers
for
the ark.
So
David, the elders of Israel, and the commanders
of thousands went
with
rejoicing
to bring the ark of the covenant of the
LORD
from the house of Obed-edom .
And
it
is
David, and
the elders of Israel, and the heads
of the
thousands ,
who
are
going
to bring up
the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
from the house of Obed-Edom with
joy;
And because
God
helped
the Levites who
were
carrying
the ark of the covenant of the
LORD
, they sacrificed
seven bulls
and seven rams.
and it
cometh
to
pass,
in
God's
helping
the Levites bearing
the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
, that
they sacrifice
seven bullocks
and seven rams.
Now
David was
dressed
in a
robe of fine linen, as
were
all the Levites who were
carrying
the ark, as
well
as
the singers and Chenaniah ,
the director
of music
for
the singers .
David also
wore
a
linen
ephod.
And
David is
wrapped
in an
upper
robe of fine linen, and
all the Levites who are
bearing
the ark, and
the singers ,
and Chenaniah head
of
the burden
of the singers ;
and
on
David `is'
an
Ephod of
linen
.
So
all Israel brought
up the ark of the covenant of the
LORD
with shouting, with the sounding
of rams’
horns
and trumpets, and with cymbals and the
music
of
harps and
lyres.
And
all Israel are
bringing
up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
with shouting, and
with the sound
of a
cornet,
and with
trumpets, and with cymbals ,
sounding
with
psalteries
and harps ,
As
the ark of the covenant of the
LORD
was
entering the City of David, Saul’s
daughter
Michal looked
down
from
a
window and saw
King David dancing and celebrating
, and she
despised
him in her heart.
and
it
cometh
to
pass,
the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
is
entering in
unto
the city of David, and
Michal daughter
of
Saul
is
looking
through
the
window ,
and seeth
king David dancing and playing
, and despiseth
him in her heart.
