Καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ οἰκίας ἐν πόλει Δαυείδ, καὶ ἡτοίμασεν τὸν τόπον τῇ κιβωτῷ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτῇ σκηνήν.

τότε εἶπεν Δαυείδ Οὐκ ἔστιν ἆραι τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ θεοῦ ἀλλʼ ἢ τοὺς Λευείτας, ὅτι αὐτοὺς ἐξελέξατο Κύριος καὶ λειτουργεῖν αὐτῷ ἕως αἰῶνος.

καὶ ἐξεκλησίασεν Δαυεὶδ τὸν πάντα Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ τοῦ ἀνενέγκαι τὴν κιβωτὸν Κυρίου εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν ἡτοίμασεν αὐτῇ.

καὶ συνήγαγεν Δαυεὶδ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀαρὼν τοὺς Λευείτας.

τῶν υἱῶν Καάθ, Οὐριὴλ ὁ ἄρχων καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ἑκατὸν δέκα·

τῶν υἱῶν Μερραρεί, Ἀσαι ὁ ἄρχων καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ διακόσιοι πεντῆκοντα·

τῶν υἱῶν Γηρσάμ, Ἰωήλ ὁ ἄρχων καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ἑκατὸν πεντήκοντα·

τῶν υἱῶν Ἐλεισαφάτ, Σαμαίας ὁ ἄρχων καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ διακόσιοι·

τῶν υἱῶν Χεβρών, Ἐνὴρ ὁ ἄρχων καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν ὀγδοήκοντα·

τῶν υἱῶν Ὀζειήλ, Ἀμειναδὰβ ὁ ἄρχων καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ἑκατὸν δέκα δύο.

Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Δαυεὶδ τὸν Σαδὼκ καὶ Ἀβιαθὰρ τοὺς ἱερεῖς καὶ τοὺς Λευείτας, τὸν Ἀριήλ, Ἀσαιά, Ἰωήλ, Σαμαίαν, Ἐνήλ, Ἀμειναδάβ,

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ὑμεῖς ἄρχοντες πατριῶν τῶν Λευειτῶν· ἁγνίσθητε ὑμεῖς καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἀνοίσετε τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ οὗ ἡτοίμασα αὐτῇ.

ὅτι οὐκ ἐν τῷ πρότερον ὑμᾶς εἶναι διέκοψεν ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐν ἡμῖν, ὅτι οὐκ ἐζητήσαμεν ἐν κρίματι.

καὶ ἡγνίσθησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευεῖται τοῦ ἀνενέγκαι τὴν κιβωτὸν θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ.

καὶ ἔλαβον οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν Λευειτῶν τὴν κιβαωτὸν τοῦ θεοῦ, ὡς ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῆς ἐν λόγῳ θεοῦ κατὰ τὴν γραφήν, ἐν ἀναφορεῦσιν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς·

καὶ εἶπεν Δαυεὶδ τοῖς ἄρχουσιν τῶν Λευειτῶν Στήσατε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ¹³ αὐτῶν τοὺς ψαλτῳδοὺς ἐν ὀργάνοις, νάβλαις, κινύραις καὶ κυμβάλοις, τοῦ φωνῆσαι εἰς ὕψος ἐν φωνῇ εὐφροσύνης.

καὶ ἔστησαν οἱ Λευεῖται τὸν Αἱμὰν υἱὸν Ἰωήλ· ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ Ἀσὰφ υἱὸς Βαραχιά, καὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Μερραρεὶ ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ Αἰθὰν υἱὸς Κεισαίου.

καὶ μετʼ αὐτῶν ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν οἱ δεύτεροι, Ζαχαρίας καὶ Ὀζειὴλ καὶ Σεμειραμὼθ καὶ Ἰειὴλ καὶ Ἐλιωὴλ καὶ Ἐλιαβὰ καὶ Βαναιὰ καὶ Μαασσαιὰ καὶ Ἰματταθιὰ καὶ Ἐλειφενὰ καὶ Μακελλειὰ καὶ Ἀβαεδὸμ καὶ Ἰεειὴλ καὶ Ὀζείας, οἱ πυλωροί.

καὶ οἱ ψαλτῳδοί· Αἱμάν, Ἀσὰφ καὶ Αἰθὰν ἐν κυμβάλοις χαλκοῖς τοῦ ἀκουσθῆναι ποιῆσαι·

Ζαχαρίας καὶ Ὀζειήλ, Σεμειραμώθ, Εἰθήλ, Ὠνεἰ, Ἐλιάβ, Μασσαίας, Βαναίας ἐν νάβλαις ἐπὶ ἀλαιμώθ·

καὶ Μετταθίας καὶ Ἐνφαναίας, Μακενιὰ καὶ Ἀβδεδὸμ καὶ Ἰειὴλ καὶ Ὀζείας ἐν κινύραις ἁμασενεὶθ τοῦ ἰσχῦσαι·

καὶ Κωνενιὰ ἄρχων τῶν Λευειτῶν ἄρχων τῶν ᾠδῶν, ὅτι συνετὸς ἦν.

καὶ Βαραχιὰ καὶ Ἠλκανὰ πυλωροὶ τῆς κιβωτοῦ.

καὶ Σομνιὰ καὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ καὶ Ναθαναὴλ καὶ Ἀμασαὶ καὶ Ζαχαριὰ καὶ Βαναὶ καὶ Ἐλιέζερ οἱ ἱερεῖς, σαλπίζοντες ταῖς σάλπιγξιν ἔμπροσθεν τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ. καὶ Ἀβδεδὸμ καὶ Ἰειά, πυλωροὶ τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ.

Καὶ ἦν Δαυεὶδ καὶ πρεσβύτεροι Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οἱ χιλίαρχοι οἱ πορευόμενοι τοῦ ἀναγαγεῖν τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης ἐξ οἴκου Ἀβδοδὸμ ἐν ενφροσύνῃ.

καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ κατισχῦσαι τὸν θεὸν τοὺς Λευείτας αἴροντας τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης Κυρίου, καὶ ἔθυσαν ἀνʼ ἑπτὰ μόσχους καὶ ἀνʼ ἑπτὰ κριούς.

καὶ Δαυεὶδ περιεζωσμένος ἐν στολῇ βυσσίνῃ, καὶ πάντες οἱ Λευεῖται αἴροντες τὴν κιβωτὸν διαθήκης Κυρίου καὶ οἱ ψαλτῳδοί, Ἰεχονίας ὁ ⁴⁵ ἄρχων τῶν ᾠδῶν τῶν ᾀδόντων· καὶ ἐπὶ Δαυεὶδ στολὴ βυσσίνη.

καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ἀνάγοντες τὴν κιβωτὸν διαθήκης Κυρίου ἐν σημασίᾳ καὶ ἐν φωνῇ σωφέρ καὶ ἐν σάλπιγξιν καὶ ἐν κυμβάλοις, ἀναφωνοῦντες νάβλαις καὶ ἐν κινύραις.

καὶ ἐγένετο κιβωτὸς διαθήκης Κυρίου καὶ ἦλθεν ἕως πόλεως Δαυείδ· καὶ Μελχὸλ θυγάτηρ Σαοὺλ παρέκυψεν διὰ τῆς θυρίδος, καὶ εἶδεν τὸν βασιλέα Δαυεὶδ ὀρχούμενον καὶ παίζοντα, καὶ ἐξουδένωσεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτῆς.

[David] made him houses in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.

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

David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Yahweh to its place, which he had prepared for it.

David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites:

of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brothers one hundred twenty;

of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred twenty;

of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brothers one hundred thirty;

of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred;

of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brothers eighty;

of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brothers one hundred twelve.

David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,

and said to them, You are the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both you and your brothers, that you may bring up the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel, to [the place] that I have prepared for it.

For because you didn’t carry it at the first, Yahweh our God made a breach on us, because we didn’t seek him according to the ordinance.

So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

The children of the Levites bore the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of Yahweh.

David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brothers the singers, with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up the voice with joy.

So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brothers, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brothers, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;

and with them their brothers of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers.

So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, [were appointed] with cymbals of brass to sound aloud;

and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries set to Alamoth;

and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps tuned to the eight-stringed lyre, to lead.

Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the song: he instructed about the song, because he was skillful.

Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed-edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.

So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of the house of Obed-edom with joy.

It happened, when God helped the Levites who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, that they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.

David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites who bore the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song [with] the singers: and David had on him an ephod of linen.

Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding aloud with psalteries and harps.

It happened, as the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and playing; and she despised him in her heart.
