For the Lord chose them to carry the special box of the agreement and to serve Him forever." 3 David gathered all Israel together at Jerusalem, to bring up the special box of the Lord to the place he had made for it. 4 He gathered together the sons of Aaron and the Levites. 5 Uriel became leader of the sons of Kohath, and 120 of his brothers. 6 Asaiah became the leader of the sons of Merari, and 220 of his brothers. 7 Joel became the leader of the sons of Gershom, and 130 of his brothers. 8 Shemaiah became the leader of the sons of Elizaphan, and 200 of his brothers. 9 Eliel became the leader of the sons of Hebron, and 80 of his brothers. 10 Amminadab became the leader of the sons of Uzziel, and 112 of his brothers.
