1. And David made him houses in the city of David, and 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 God, and to minister to him for ever.
3. And David assembled all Israel to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD to its place, which he had prepared for it.
