WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.880 Chapter 15 And David made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place 00:05.880 --> 00:08.720 for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent. 00:09.260 --> 00:12.820 Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites. 00:13.500 --> 00:18.040 For them hath the Lord chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him 00:18.040 --> 00:18.460 forever. 00:18.860 --> 00:23.220 And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the Lord 00:23.220 --> 00:25.780 unto his place, which he had prepared for it. 00:26.530 --> 00:31.440 And David assembled the children of Aaron and the Levites, of the sons of Kohath, 00:31.880 --> 00:36.540 Uriel the chief, and his brethren, an hundred and twenty, of the sons of 00:36.540 --> 00:40.820 Murarai, Uzair the chief, and his brethren, two hundred and twenty, 00:41.480 --> 00:46.560 of the sons of Gershon, Joel the chief, and his brethren, an hundred and thirty, 00:47.200 --> 00:51.640 of the sons Eliezeiphan, Shimea the chief, and his brethren, two hundred, 01:01.540 --> 01:06.980 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, and for the Levites, 01:07.400 --> 01:14.080 for Uriel, Ezeah, and Joel, Shimeah, and Elial, and Ammonadab, and said unto 01:14.080 --> 01:16.940 them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites. 01:17.740 --> 01:22.480 Sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of 01:22.480 --> 01:25.580 the Lord God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for it. 01:26.100 --> 01:30.620 For because ye did it not at the first, the Lord our God made a breach upon us, 01:31.140 --> 01:33.180 for that we salt him not after the due order. 01:33.600 --> 01:37.720 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord 01:37.720 --> 01:38.480 God of Israel. 01:38.940 --> 01:42.920 And the children of the Levites bear the ark of God upon their shoulders with the 01:42.920 --> 01:47.040 staves thereon, as Moses commanded, according to the word of the Lord. 01:47.480 --> 01:51.440 And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be 01:51.440 --> 01:55.260 the singers with instruments of music, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, 01:55.600 --> 01:57.940 sounding by lifting up the voice with joy. 01:58.800 --> 02:04.220 So the Levites appointed Haman the son of Joel, and of his brethren Asaph the son of 02:04.220 --> 02:09.480 Berechiah, and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Cushea, 02:10.180 --> 02:15.300 and with them their brethren of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jeaziel, 02:15.820 --> 02:23.680 and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Ani, Eliab, and Baneah, Amasiah, and Matithiah, 02:24.220 --> 02:29.180 and Eliphilah, and Micnea, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel the porters. 02:29.600 --> 02:34.320 So the singers Haman, Asaph, and Ethan were appointed to sound with cymbals of 02:34.320 --> 02:39.660 brass, and Zechariah, and Eziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Ani, 02:40.040 --> 02:45.740 and Eliab, and Measiah, and Baneah with psalteries on Alamoth, and Matithiah, 02:45.960 --> 02:51.640 and Eliphilah, and Micnea, and Obed-Edom, and Jehiel, and Azaziah with harps on the 02:51.640 --> 02:55.920 Shemineth to excel, and Kenaniah chief of the Levites was for song. 02:56.460 --> 03:01.400 He instructed about the song because he was skillful, and Berechiah, and Elkanah 03:01.400 --> 03:06.680 were doorkeepers for the ark, and Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nathanael, 03:07.060 --> 03:12.360 and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Baneah, and Eliezer the priests did blow the 03:12.360 --> 03:16.800 trumpets before the ark of God, and Obed-Edom, and Jehiah were doorkeepers 03:16.800 --> 03:17.500 for the ark. 03:18.340 --> 03:22.800 So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands went to 03:22.800 --> 03:26.820 bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the house of Obed-Edom with 03:26.820 --> 03:27.160 joy. 03:27.780 --> 03:31.860 And it came to pass when God helped the Levites that bear the ark of the covenant 03:31.860 --> 03:36.680 of the Lord, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams, and David was 03:36.680 --> 03:40.760 clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bear the ark, 03:40.960 --> 03:44.400 and the singers, and Kenaniah the master of the song with the singers. 03:45.080 --> 03:47.520 David also had upon him an ephod of linen. 03:48.100 --> 03:51.780 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting, 03:52.260 --> 03:56.560 and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise 03:56.560 --> 03:57.860 with psalteries and harps. 03:58.640 --> 04:02.400 And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the Lord came to the city of 04:02.400 --> 04:07.880 David, that Michael, the daughter of Saul, looking out at a window, saw King David 04:07.880 --> 04:11.460 dancing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.
