1 Chronicles 15

1And David made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.

וַיַּעַשׂ־לֹו בָתִּים בְּעִיר דָּוִיד וַיָּכֶן מָקֹום לַאֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים וַיֶּט־לֹו אֹהֶל׃ (1927)

2Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever.

אָז אָמַר דָּוִיד לֹא לָשֵׂאת אֶת־אֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים כִּי אִם־הַלְוִיִּם כִּי־בָם ׀ בָּחַר יְהוָה לָשֵׂאת אֶת־אֲרֹון יְהוָה וּלְשָׁרְתֹו עַד־עֹולָם׃ (4831)

3And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD unto his place, which he had prepared for it.

וַיַּקְהֵל דָּוִיד אֶת־כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־יְרוּשָׁלִָם לְהַעֲלֹות אֶת־אֲרֹון יְהוָה אֶל־מְקֹומֹו אֲשֶׁר־הֵכִין לֹו׃ (3854)

4And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:

וַיֶּאֱסֹף דָּוִיד אֶת־בְּנֵי אַהֲרֹן וְאֶת־הַלְוִיִּם׃ (1398)

5Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty:

לִבְנֵי קְהָת אוּרִיאֵל הַשָּׂר וְאֶחָיו מֵאָה וְעֶשְׂרִים׃ (2053)

6Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:

לִבְנֵי מְרָרִי עֲשָׂיָה הַשָּׂר וְאֶחָיו מָאתַיִם וְעֶשְׂרִים׃ (2580)

7Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief and his brethren an hundred and thirty:

לִבְנֵי גֵּרְשֹׁום יֹואֵל הַשָּׂר וְאֶחָיו מֵאָה וּשְׁלֹשִׁים׃ (1956)

8Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred:

לִבְנֵי אֱלִיצָפָן שְׁמַעְיָה הַשָּׂר וְאֶחָיו מָאתָיִם׃ (1805)

9Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore:

לִבְנֵי חֶבְרֹון אֱלִיאֵל הַשָּׂר וְאֶחָיו שְׁמֹונִים׃ (1412)

10Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve.

לִבְנֵי עֻזִּיאֵל עַמִּינָדָב הַשָּׂר וְאֶחָיו מֵאָה וּשְׁנֵים עָשָׂר׃ (1944)

11And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,

וַיִּקְרָא דָוִיד לְצָדֹוק וּלְאֶבְיָתָר הַכֹּהֲנִים וְלַלְוִיִּם לְאוּרִיאֵל עֲשָׂיָה וְיֹואֵל שְׁמַעְיָה וֶאֱלִיאֵל וְעַמִּינָדָב׃ (2873)

12And 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.

וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם אַתֶּם רָאשֵׁי הָאָבֹות לַלְוִיִּם הִתְקַדְּשׁוּ אַתֶּם וַאֲחֵיכֶם וְהַעֲלִיתֶם אֵת אֲרֹון יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־הֲכִינֹותִי לֹו׃ (5555)

13For 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.

כִּי לְמַבָּרִאשֹׁונָה לֹא אַתֶּם פָּרַץ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ בָּנוּ כִּי־לֹא דְרַשְׁנֻהוּ כַּמִּשְׁפָּט׃ (2767)

14So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.

וַיִּתְקַדְּשׁוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם לְהַעֲלֹות אֶת־אֲרֹון יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ (2865)

15And 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.

וַיִּשְׂאוּ בְנֵי־הַלְוִיִּם אֵת אֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה מֹשֶׁה כִּדְבַר יְהוָה בִּכְתֵפָם בַּמֹּטֹות עֲלֵיהֶם׃ (3598)

16And 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.

וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד לְשָׂרֵי הַלְוִיִּם לְהַעֲמִיד אֶת־אֲחֵיהֶם הַמְשֹׁרְרִים בִּכְלֵי־שִׁיר נְבָלִים וְכִנֹּרֹות וּמְצִלְתָּיִם מַשְׁמִיעִים לְהָרִים־בְּקֹול לְשִׂמְחָה׃ (5649)

17So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;

וַיַּעֲמִידוּ הַלְוִיִּם אֵת הֵימָן בֶּן־יֹואֵל וּמִן־אֶחָיו אָסָף בֶּן־בֶּרֶכְיָהוּ ס וּמִן־בְּנֵי מְרָרִי אֲחֵיהֶם אֵיתָן בֶּן־קוּשָׁיָהוּ׃ (3071)

18And with them their brethren of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters.

וְעִמָּהֶם אֲחֵיהֶם הַמִּשְׁנִים זְכַרְיָהוּ בֵּן וְיַעֲזִיאֵל וּשְׁמִירָמֹות וִיחִיאֵל ׀ וְעֻנִּי אֱלִיאָב וּבְנָיָהוּ וּמַעֲשֵׂיָהוּ וּמַתִּתְיָהוּ וֶאֱלִיפְלֵהוּ וּמִקְנֵיָהוּ וְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם וִיעִיאֵל הַשֹּׁעֲרִים׃ (4998)

19So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass;

וְהַמְשֹׁרְרִים הֵימָן אָסָף וְאֵיתָן בִּמְצִלְתַּיִם נְחֹשֶׁת לְהַשְׁמִיעַ׃ (3339)

20And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;

וּזְכַרְיָה וַעֲזִיאֵל וּשְׁמִירָמֹות וִיחִיאֵל וְעֻנִּי וֶאֱלִיאָב וּמַעֲשֵׂיָהוּ וּבְנָיָהוּ בִּנְבָלִים עַל־עֲלָמֹות׃ (2921)

21And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.

וּמַתִּתְיָהוּ וֶאֱלִיפְלֵהוּ וּמִקְנֵיָהוּ וְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם וִיעִיאֵל וַעֲזַזְיָהוּ בְּכִנֹּרֹות עַל־הַשְּׁמִינִית לְנַצֵּחַ׃ (3388)

22And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skilful.

וּכְנַנְיָהוּ שַׂר־הַלְוִיִּם בְּמַשָּׂא יָסֹר בַּמַּשָּׂא כִּי מֵבִין הוּא׃ (1838)

23And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

וּבֶרֶכְיָה וְאֶלְקָנָה שֹׁעֲרִים לָאָרֹון׃ (1342)

24And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.

וּשְׁבַנְיָהוּ וְיֹושָׁפָט וּנְתַנְאֵל וַעֲמָשַׂי וּזְכַרְיָהוּ וּבְנָיָהוּ וֶאֱלִיעֶזֶר הַכֹּהֲנִים [מַחֲצֹצְרִים כ] (מַחְצְרִים ק) בַּחֲצֹצְרֹות לִפְנֵי אֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים וְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם וִיחִיָּה שֹׁעֲרִים לָאָרֹון׃ (5913)

25So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the house of Obededom with joy.

וַיְהִי דָוִיד וְזִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְשָׂרֵי הָאֲלָפִים הַהֹלְכִים לְהַעֲלֹות אֶת־אֲרֹון בְּרִית־יְהוָה מִן־בֵּית עֹבֵד־אֱדֹם בְּשִׂמְחָה׃ (4376)

26And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.

וַיְהִי בֶּעְזֹר הָאֱלֹהִים אֶת־הַלְוִיִּם נֹשְׂאֵי אֲרֹון בְּרִית־יְהוָה וַיִּזְבְּחוּ שִׁבְעָה־פָרִים וְשִׁבְעָה אֵילִים׃ (3369)

27And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also had upon him an ephod of linen.

וְדָוִיד מְכֻרְבָּל ׀ בִּמְעִיל בּוּץ וְכָל־הַלְוִיִּם הַנֹּשְׂאִים אֶת־הָאָרֹון וְהַמְשֹׁרְרִים וּכְנַנְיָה הַשַּׂר הַמַּשָּׂא הַמְשֹׁרְרִים וְעַל־דָּוִיד אֵפֹוד בָּד׃ (4603)

28Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.

וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל מַעֲלִים אֶת־אֲרֹון בְּרִית־יְהוָה בִּתְרוּעָה וּבְקֹול שֹׁופָר וּבַחֲצֹצְרֹות וּבִמְצִלְתָּיִם מַשְׁמִעִים בִּנְבָלִים וְכִנֹּרֹות׃ (6232)

29And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal, the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.

וַיְהִי אֲרֹון בְּרִית יְהוָה בָּא עַד־עִיר דָּוִיד וּמִיכַל בַּת־שָׁאוּל נִשְׁקְפָה ׀ בְּעַד הַחַלֹּון וַתֵּרֶא אֶת־הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִיד מְרַקֵּד וּמְשַׂחֵק וַתִּבֶז לֹו בְּלִבָּהּ׃ (5277)
