1 Chronicles 15:17-29 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

17. And the Lĕwites appointed Hĕman son of Yo’ĕl, and of his brothers, Asaph son of Bereḵyahu; and of their brothers, the sons of Merari, Ěythan son of Qushayahu;

18. and with them their brothers of the second rank: Zeḵaryahu, Bĕn, and Ya‛azi’ĕl, and Shemiramoth, and Yeḥi’ĕl, and Unni, Eliyaḇ, and Benayahu, and Ma‛asĕyahu, and Mattithyahu, and Eliphelĕhu, and Miqnĕyahu, and Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom, and Ye‛i’ĕl, the gatekeepers;

19. and the singers Hĕman, Asaph, and Ěythan, were to sound the cymbals of bronze;

20. and Zeḵaryah, and Azi’ĕl, and Shemiramoth, and Yeḥi’ĕl, and Unni, and Eliyaḇ, and Ma‛asĕyahu, and Benayahu, with harps according to Alamoth;

21. and Mattithyahu, and Eliphelĕhu, and Miqnĕyahu, and Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom, and Ye‛i’ĕl, and Azazyahu, to lead with lyres on the Sheminith;

22. and Kenanyahu, leader of the Lĕwites, in the song, because he was skilled;

23. and Bereḵyah and Elqanah were doorkeepers for the ark;

24. and Sheḇanyahu, and Yoshaphat, and Nethanĕ’l, and Amasai, and Zeḵaryahu, and Benayahu, and Eli‛ezer, the priests, were to blow the trumpets before the ark of Elohim. And Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom and Yeḥiyah, were doorkeepers for the ark.

25. And it was Dawiḏ and the elders of Yisra’ĕl, and the commanders over thousands, who went to bring up the ark of the covenant of יהוה from the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom with joy.

26. And it came to be, when Elohim helped the Lĕwites who bore the ark of the covenant of יהוה, that they offered seven bulls and seven rams.

27. And Dawiḏ was dressed in a robe of fine linen, as were all the Lĕwites who bore the ark, the singers, and Kenanyah the leader of the service with the singers. And Dawiḏ wore a linen shoulder garment.

28. So all Yisra’ĕl brought up the ark of the covenant of יהוה with shouting and with the sound of the horn, with trumpets and with cymbals, sounding with harps and lyres.

29. And it came to be, as the ark of the covenant of יהוה came to the City of Dawiḏ, that Miḵal the daughter of Sha’ul, looking through a window, saw Sovereign Dawiḏ dancing and playing. And she despised him in her heart.
