1David was all about those vibes, building houses in the city and setting up a tent for the ark of God. Total goated move.

2David was like, "Only the Levites can carry the ark, no cap. God chose them to handle that holy stuff forever."

3David gathered all of Israel in Jerusalem to bring the Lord's ark to its lit spot he had prepped.

4David called up the fam, the kids of Aaron and the Levites, to get things popping.

5From Kohath's crew, Uriel was the chief, and he brought along a hundred and twenty bros.

6For Merari, Asaiah was the chief, rolling with two hundred and twenty peeps.

7From Gershom, Joel was the chief, and he had a squad of a hundred and thirty.

8Elizaphan's squad had Shemaiah as chief, bringing two hundred homies.

9Hebron's crew had Eliel as chief, with eighty bros backing him up.

10Uzziel's fam had Amminadab as chief, rolling deep with a hundred and twelve.

11David hit up Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, plus the Levites, Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab, no cap.

12He was like, "Yo, you’re the top fam of the Levites: get yourselves right, you and your crew, so we can roll the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the spot I set up for it."

13For real, since you didn’t do it right at first, the Lord our God had to step in, 'cause we weren’t vibing with Him in the correct way.

14So the priests and Levites got their act together to bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel.

15The Levite kids carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the staves, just like Moses said, periodt.

16David told the chief Levites to get their crew to be the singers with instruments, like psalteries and harps, poppin’ off with joy.

17So the Levites chose Heman, Joel's kid; and his bro, Asaph, Berechiah’s son; plus Ethan, Merari’s son, fr.

18And with them were their second-degree fam, Zechariah, Ben, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel, the porters, no cap.

19So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were set to jam with brass cymbals;

20And Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were all about the psalteries on Alamoth.

21Mattithiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah, Obed–edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were vibin' with harps on the Sheminith, just poppin' off.

22Chenaniah, the Levite boss, was all about that song life, teaching the crew 'cause he had mad skills.

23Berechiah and Elkanah were the doorkeepers for the ark, no cap.

24Shebaniah, Jehoshaphat, Nethaneel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, were blowin' trumpets before the ark of God, while Obed–edom and Jehiah held it down as doorkeepers.

25So David, the elders of Israel, and the captains were on their way to bring up the ark of the Lord from Obed–edom's crib, all hyped up.

26And when God helped the Levites carry the ark, they offered seven bullocks and seven rams, fr.

27David was drippin' in a fine linen robe, and all the Levites carrying the ark, plus the singers, and Chenaniah the song master were also lookin' fresh with linen ephods.

28All Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with mad shouts, trumpets, and cymbals, making a lit noise with psalteries and harps.

29As the ark rolled into the city of David, Michal, Saul's daughter, peeped David dancing and playing from her window and was lowkey hatin' on him in her heart.

1And David made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.

2Then 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 unto him for ever.

3And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the Lord unto his place, which he had prepared for it.

4And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:

5Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty:

6Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:

7Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and thirty:

8Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred:

9Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore:

10Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve.

11And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,

12And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for it.

13For because ye did it not at the first, the Lord our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.

14So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel.

15And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the Lord.

16And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.

17So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;

18And with them their brethren of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed–edom, and Jeiel, the porters.

19So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass;

20And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;

21And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed–edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.

22And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skilful.

23And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

24And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed–edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.

25So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the house of Obed–edom with joy.

26And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.

27And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also had upon him an ephod of linen.

28Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.

29And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the Lord came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.
