1 Chronicles 15:14

¹²and said to them, Ye are the heads of the families of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, and ye shall carry up the ark of the God of Israel, to the place which I have prepared for it.

¹³For because ye were not ready at the first, our God made a breach upon us, because we sought him not according to the ordinance.

— 1 Chronicles 15:14 —

¹⁵And the sons of the Levites took the ark of God (as Moses commanded by the word of God according to the Scripture) upon their shoulders with staffs.

¹⁶And David said to the chiefs of the Levites, Set your brethren the singers with musical instruments, lutes, harps, and cymbals, to sound aloud with a voice of joy.
