And David made houses for himself in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.

And he made for himself houses in the city of David, and he prepared a place for the ark of G-d, and he pitched a tent over it.

Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for the Lord has chosen them to carry the ark of God, and to minister to him forever.

Then David said: The ark of G-d should be borne only by the Levites; for them did the L-rd choose to bear the ark of G-d and to minister unto Him forever.

And David gathered all Yisra᾽el together to Yerushalayim, to bring up the ark of the Lord to its place, which he had prepared for it.

And David congregated all of Israel into Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the L-rd to its place that he had prepared for it.

And David assembled the children of Aharon, and the Levites:

And David gathered the sons of Aaron and the Levites.

of the sons of Qehat; Uri᾽el the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twenty:

Of the sons of Kehoth, Uriel, the head, and his brothers, one hundred and twenty.

of the sons of Merari; ῾Asaya the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:

Of the sons of Merari, Assayah, the head, and his brothers, two hundred and twenty.

of the sons of Gershom: Yo᾽el the chief, and his brethren a hundred and thirty:

Of the sons of Gershom, Yoel, the head, and his brothers, one hundred and thirty.

of the sons of Eliżafan; Shema῾ya the chief, and his brethren two hundred:

Of the sons of Elitzafan, Shemayah, the head, and his brothers, two hundred.

of the sons of Ḥevron; Eli᾽el the chief, and his brethren eighty:

Of the sons of Chevron, Eliel, the head, and his brothers, eighty.

of the sons of ῾Uzzi᾽el; ῾Amminadav the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twelve.

Of the sons of Uziel, Aminadav, and head, and his brothers, one hundred and twelve.

And David called for Żadoq and Evyatar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uri᾽el, ῾Asaya, and Yo᾽el, Shema῾ya, and Eli᾽el, and ῾Amminadav,

And David called to Tzaddok and to Evyathar the Cohanim, and to the Levites: to Uriel, Assayah, and Yoel, Shemayah, Eliel and Aminadav.

and he said to them, You are the chiefs of the fathers’ houses of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, that you may bring up the ark of the Lord God of Yisra᾽el to the place that I have prepared for it.

And he said to them: You are the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the Levites. Ready yourselves and your brothers, and you shall bring up the ark of the L-rd, the G-d of Israel to [the place that] I have prepared for it.

For because you did not do so at first, the Lord our God made a breach upon us, because we did not seek him according to the prescribed form.

For in the beginning [(when the ark was brought up from Kiryath-yearim)], it was not you [(who were the bearers, wherefore)] the L-rd our G-d made a breach in us, for we did not solicit Him as prescribed [(by having the ark borne by the Levites)].

So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord God of Yisra᾽el.

And the Cohanim and the Levites readied themselves to bring up the ark of the L-rd, the G-d of Israel.

And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God upon their shoulders the bars being upon them, as Moshe had commanded according to the word of the Lord.

And the sons of the Levites bore the ark of G-d as Moses had commanded by word of the L-rd, on their shoulders, with staves upon them.

And David spoke to the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of music, lutes and lyres and cymbals, playing loudly to raise sounds of joy.

And David charged the heads of the Levites to post their brothers, the singers, with instruments of song, psalteries, harps, and cymbals, heightening the voice in joy.

So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Yo᾽el; and of his brethren, Asaf the son of Berekhyahu; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Etan the son of Qushayahu;

And the Levites posted Heiman the son of Yoel, and, of his brothers, Asaf the son of Berechyahu, and, of the sons of Merari, their brother, Eithan the son of Kushayahu.

and with them their brethren of the second degree, Zekharyahu, Ben, and Ya῾azi᾽el, and Shemiramot, and Yeĥi᾽el, and ῾Unni, Eli᾽av, and Benayahu, and Ma῾aseyahu, and Mattityahu, and Eliflehu, and Miqneyahu, and ῾Oved-edom, and Ye῾i᾽el, the gatekeepers.

And with them, their brothers, seconding them, Zecharyahu, Bein and Ya'aziel, and Shmiramoth, and Yechiel, and Uni, and Eliav, and Benayahu, and Ma'aseyahu, and Matithyahu, and Eliflehu, and Mikneyahu, and Oved-edom, and Ye'iel, the gatekeepers.

So the singers, Heman, Asaf, and Etan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass;

And the singers: Heiman, Asaf and Eithan, with resounding brass cymbals.

and Zekharya, and ῾Azi᾽el, and Shemiramot, and Yeĥi᾽el, and ῾Unni, and Eli᾽av, and Ma῾aseyahu, and Benayahu, with lutes to ῾Alamot;

And Zecharyah and Aziel and Shmiramoth and Yechiel and Uni and Eliav and Ma'aseyahu and Benayahu, with psalteries-al-alamoth.

and Mattityahu, and Eliflehu, and Miqneyahu, and ῾Oved-edom, and Ye῾i᾽el, and ῾Azazyahu, with lyres to the Sheminit to lead.

And Matithyahu and Eliflehu and Mikneyahu and Oved-edom and Yeiel and Azazyahu with harps-al-hashminith to conduct.

And Kenanyahu, chief of the Levites, was over the song: he was master in the song, because he was skilful.

And Kenanyahu, the leader of the Levites in song, presiding over song, in which he was expert.

And Berekhya and Elqana were gatekeepers for the ark.

And Berachyah and Elkanah, ark sentries.

And Shevanyahu, and Yoshafat, and Netan᾽el, and ῾Amasay, and Zekharyahu, and Benayahu, and Eli῾ezer, the priests, did blow on the trumpets before the ark of God: and ῾Oved-edom and Yehiyya were gatekeepers for the ark.

And Shevanyahu and Yoshafat and Nethanel and Amassai and Zecharyahu and Benayahu and Eliezer the priests sounding trumpets before the ark of G-d, and Oved-edom and Yichyah, ark sentries.

So David, and the elders of Yisra᾽el, and the captains over the thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the house of ῾Oved-edom with joy.

And David and the elders of Israel and the heads of the thousands who went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the L-rd from the house of Oved-edom rejoiced.

And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.

And it was, G-d abetting the Levites, the bearers of the ark of the covenant of the L-rd, that they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.

And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites who bore the ark, and the singers, and Kenanya the master of the song with the singers: David also had upon him an efod of linen.

And David was enwrapped in a linen robe, and [i.e., as were] all the Levites bearing the ark, and the singers, and Kenanyah, the leader, presiding over the singers. And on David was a linen ephod.

Thus all Yisra᾽el brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of the shofar, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with lutes and lyres.

And all of Israel bringing up the ark of the covenant of the L-rd with shouting and with the sound of the shofar and with trumpets and with cymbals, sounding on psalteries and harps.

And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the Lord came to the city of David, that Mikhal the daughter of Sha᾽ul looking through a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.

And the ark of the covenant of the L-rd came until the city of David, and Michal the daughter of Saul looked out the window and saw King David dancing and disporting himself, and she despised him in her heart.
