JPS_ASV_Byz(i)
1 And David made him houses in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.
2 Then David said: 'None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites; for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of the LORD, and to minister unto Him for ever.'
3 And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD unto its place, which he had prepared for it.
