12/And said unto them , Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites and your berthren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD god of Isael unto the place that I have prepared for it.
13/Foe 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 Levites sanctified themsalves 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, psaltries and harps and cymbals sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.

22/And Chenaniah chief of the Levites was for song ; he insrtucted about the song, because he was skilful.
23/And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark .
24/And Shebaniah, and Jehshaphat, and Nethaneel, and amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the atk of God and Obeddpom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.
25/So David, and the elders of Isael, and the captains over thousands , went to bring up the atk of the covenant of the LORD pout of the house of Obeddom with joy.
26/And it came to pass.when God helped 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 dong with the singers: David also had upon him an ephod of linen
,28/Thus all Israel broght up the ark of the covenant of the LORd with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets a noise with psalteries and harps,
29/And it came to pass, as the atk of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David that Michal, the daughter of Saul looking out at window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.
