1 Chronicles 15:12-16

[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.  [16] And David  spake  to the chief  of the Levites  to appoint  their brethren  to be the singers  with instruments  of musick,  psalteries  and harps  and cymbals,  sounding,  by lifting up  the voice  with joy.
