1 Chronicles 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.
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.
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.
4 And David assembled the
children of Aaron, and the Levites:
5 Of the sons of Kohath;
Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty:
6 Of the
sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and
twenty:
7 Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his
brethren an hundred and thirty:
8 Of the sons of Elizaphan;
Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred:
9 Of the sons
of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore:
10 Of the
sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and
twelve.
11 And David called for Zadok and
Abiathar the priests,
and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel,
and Amminadab,
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.
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.
14 So the priests and the Levites
sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel.
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.
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.
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;
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 Obed-edom, and Jeiel, the
porters.
19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were
appointed to sound with cymbals of brass;
20 And Zechariah, and
Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah,
and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;
21 And Mattithiah, and
Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with
harps on the Sheminith to excel.
22 And Chenaniah, chief of the
Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was
skilful.
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the
ark.
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 Obed-edom and Jehiah were
doorkeepers for the ark.
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 Obed-edom with joy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
-
2 Samuel 6:20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul
came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day,
who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the
handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth
himself!
21 And David said unto Michal, It was before the Lord, which chose me before thy
father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the
Lord, over Israel: therefore will I play before the Lord.
22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight:
and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in
honour.
23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
