1 Chronicles 15:4-15

[4] And David  assembled  the children  of Aaron,  and the Levites:  [5] Of the sons  of Kohath;  Uriel  the chief,  and his brethren  an hundred  and twenty:  [6] Of the sons  of Merari;  Asaiah  the chief,  and his brethren  two hundred  and twenty:  [7] Of the sons  Joel  the chief,  and his brethren  an 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  fourscore:  [10] Of the sons  of Uzziel;  Amminadab  the chief,  and his brethren  an hundred  and twelve.  [11] And David  called  for Zadok  and Abiathar  the priests,  and for the Levites,  for Uriel,  Asaiah,  and Joel,  Shemaiah,  and Eliel,  and Amminadab,  [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.
