1 Chronicles 15:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² He said to them, “You are the leaders of the families of Levi. You and the other Levites must set yourselves apart to serve the Lord and his people. You must carry up the ark of the Lord. He is the God of Israel. Put the ark in the place I’ve prepared for it. ¹³ Remember when the anger of the Lord our God broke out against us? That’s because it wasn’t you Levites who tried to carry up the ark the first time. We didn’t ask the Lord how to do it in the way the law requires.” ¹⁴ So the priests and Levites set themselves apart. Then they carried up the ark of the Lord. He is the God of Israel.
