1 Chronicles 15:7-19 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

7. of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and thirty;

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

9. of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brethren eighty;

10. of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twelve.

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

12. and he said to them, Ye are the chief fathers of the Levites; hallow yourselves, ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of Jehovah the God of Israel to the place that I have prepared for it.

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

14. So the priests and the Levites hallowed themselves to bring up the ark of Jehovah the God of Israel.

15. And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves upon them, as Moses had commanded according to the word of Jehovah.

16. And David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren, the singers, with instruments of music, lutes, and harps, and cymbals, that they should sound aloud, lifting up the voice with joy.

17. And 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;

18. and with them their brethren of the second rank, 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 doorkeepers;

19. and the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, to sound aloud with cymbals of brass;
