7. From the sons of Gershom: Joel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred thirty.

8. From the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred.

9. From the sons of Hebron: Eliel was the leader, and his brothers were eighty.

10. From the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twelve.

11. And David summoned the priests, Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.

12. And he said to them: "You who are the leaders of the Levitical families, be sanctified with your brothers, and bring the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place that has been prepared for it.

13. Otherwise, as it was before, when the Lord struck us because you were not present, so also it might be now, if we do what is illicit."

14. Therefore, the priests and the Levites were sanctified, so that they might carry the ark of the Lord God of Israel.
