1 Chronicles 15:13-15

Living Bible

¹³ The Lord destroyed us before because we handled the matter improperly—you were not carrying it.”

¹⁴ So the priests and the Levites underwent the ceremonies of sanctification in preparation for bringing home the Ark of Jehovah, the God of Israel. ¹⁵ Then the Levites carried the Ark on their shoulders with its carrying poles, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
