Contextual Overview

1 And he made him houses, in the city of David, - and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent. 2 Then, said David, None must carry the ark of God, save the Levites, - for, of them, did Yahweh make choice, to bear the ark of Yahweh, and to attend it, unto times age-abiding. 3 So David convoked all Israel, unto Jerusalem, - to bring up the ark of Yahweh, unto the place thereof, which he had prepared for it. 4 And David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites: 5 Of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brethren, one hundred and twenty; 6 of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brethren, two hundred and twenty; 7 of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brethren, one hundred and thirty; 8 of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren, two hundred; 9 of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brethren, eighty; 10 of the son of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and twelve.
