1 Chronicles 15:13-15

New International Reader's Version

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. ¹⁵ This time the Levites used the poles to carry on their shoulders the ark of God. That’s what Moses had commanded in keeping with the word of the Lord.
