1 Chronicles 15:1-3

New Century Version

The Ark Is Brought to Jerusalem

15 David built houses for himself in Jerusalem. Then he prepared a place for the Ark of God, and he set up a tent for it. ² David said, “Only the Levites may carry the Ark of God. The Lord chose them to carry the Ark of the Lord and to serve him forever.”

³ David called all the people of Israel to come to Jerusalem. He wanted to bring the Ark of the Lord to the place he had made for it.
