12 H559 [H8799] And said H7218 to them, Ye are the heads H1 of the fathers H3881 of the Levites: H6942 [H8690] sanctify H251 yourselves, both ye and your brethren, H5927 [H8689] that ye may bring up H727 the ark H3068 of the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H3559 [H8689] to the place that I have prepared for it.

13 H7223 For because ye did it not at the first, H3068 the LORD H430 our God H6555 [H8804] broke forth H1875 [H8804] upon us, for that we sought H4941 him not after the proper way.

14 H3548 So the priests H3881 and the Levites H6942 [H8691] sanctified H5927 [H8687] themselves to bring up H727 the ark H3068 of the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel.

15 H1121 And the sons H3881 of the Levites H5375 [H8799] bore H727 the ark H430 of God H3802 upon their shoulders H4133 with the staffs H4872 on it, as Moses H6680 [H8765] commanded H1697 according to the word H3068 of the LORD.

16 H1732 And David H559 [H8799] spoke H8269 to the leaders H3881 of the Levites H5975 [H8687] to appoint H251 their brethren H7891 [H8789] to be the singers H3627 with instruments H7892 of music, H5035 psalteries H3658 and harps H4700 and cymbals, H8085 [H8688] sounding, H7311 [H8687] by lifting up H6963 the voice H8057 with joy.
