1 Chronicles 15:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ Lest as the Lord at first struck us, because you were not present, the same should now also come to pass, by our doing some thing against the law.

¹⁴ So the priests and the Levites were sanctified, to carry the ark of the Lord the God of Israel.

¹⁵ And the sons of Levi took the ark of God as Moses had commanded, according to the word of the Lord, upon their shoulders, with the staves.
