1 Chronicles 15:12-15
-
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.
