1 Chronicles 15 1-1 Chronicles 15 17
David constructed buildings for himself in the City of David. Then he prepared a place for the ark of God. He set up a tent for it.He said,“ Only Levites can carry the ark of God. That’s because the Lord chose them to carry his ark. He chose them to serve him forever in front of the place where his throne is.”David gathered the whole community of Israel together in Jerusalem. He wanted to carry up the ark of the Lord to the place he had prepared for it.He called together the members of the family line of Aaron. He also called the Levites together. Here are the men who came from the families of the Levites.From the families of Kohath came the leader Uriel and 120 relatives.From the families of Merari came the leader Asaiah and 220 relatives.From the families of Gershon came the leader Joel and 130 relatives.From the families of Elizaphan came the leader Shemaiah and 200 relatives.From the families of Hebron came the leader Eliel and 80 relatives.From the families of Uzziel came the leader Amminadab and 112 relatives.David sent for Zadok and Abiathar, the priests. He also sent for Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel and Amminadab. They were Levites.He said to them,“ You are the leaders of the families of Levi. You and the other Levites must set yourselves apart to serve the Lord and his people. You must carry up the ark of the Lord. He is the God of Israel. Put the ark in the place I’ve prepared for it.Remember when the anger of the Lord our God broke out against us? That’s because it wasn’t you Levites who tried to carry up the ark the first time. We didn’t ask the Lord how to do it in the way the law requires.”So the priests and Levites set themselves apart. Then they carried up the ark of the Lord. He is the God of Israel.This time the Levites used the poles to carry on their shoulders the ark of God. That’s what Moses had commanded in keeping with the word of the Lord.David told the Levite leaders to appoint other Levites as musicians. He wanted them to make a joyful sound with lyres, harps and cymbals.So the Levites appointed Heman, the son of Joel. From his relatives they chose Asaph, the son of Berekiah. Other relatives were from the family of Merari. From them they chose Ethan, the son of Kushaiah.

2 Samuel 6 1-2 Samuel 6 23
Again David brought together the best soldiers in Israel. The total number was 30,000.He and all his men went to Baalah in Judah. They wanted to bring the ark of God up to Jerusalem from there. The ark is named after the Lord. He is the Lord who rules over all. He sits on his throne between the cherubim that are on the ark.The ark of God was placed on a new cart. Then it was brought from Abinadab’s house, which was on a hill. Uzzah and Ahio were guiding the cart. They were the sons of Abinadab.The ark of God was on the cart. Ahio was walking in front of it.David was celebrating with all his might in front of the Lord. So was the whole community of Israel. All of them were playing castanets, harps, lyres, tambourines, rattles and cymbals.They came to the threshing floor of Nakon. The oxen nearly fell there. So Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God.Then the Lord was very angry with Uzzah. That’s because what Uzzah did showed that he didn’t have any respect for the Lord. So God struck him down. He died there beside the ark of God.David was angry because the Lord’ s great anger had broken out against Uzzah. That’s why the place is still called Perez Uzzah to this day.David was afraid of the Lord that day. He asked,“ How can the ark of the Lord ever be brought to me?”He didn’t want to take the ark of the Lord to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed- Edom. Obed- Edom was from Gath.The ark of the Lord remained in Obed- Edom’s house for three months. And the Lord blessed him and his whole family.King David was told,“ The Lord has blessed the family of Obed- Edom. He has also blessed everything that belongs to him. That’s because the ark of God is in Obed- Edom’s house.” So David went down there to bring up the ark. With great joy he brought it up from the house of Obed- Edom. He took it to the City of David.Those carrying the ark of the Lord took six steps forward. Then David sacrificed a bull and a fat calf.David was wearing a sacred linen apron. He danced in front of the Lord with all his might.He did it while he was bringing up the ark of the Lord. The whole community of Israel helped him bring it up. They shouted. They blew trumpets.The ark of the Lord was brought into the City of David. Saul’s daughter Michal was watching from a window. She saw King David leaping and dancing in front of the Lord. That made her hate him in her heart.The ark of the Lord was brought into Jerusalem. It was put in its place in the tent David had set up for it. David sacrificed burnt offerings and friendship offerings to the Lord.After he finished sacrificing those offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord who rules over all.He gave to each Israelite man and woman a loaf of bread. He also gave each one a date cake and a raisin cake. Then all the people went home.David returned home to bless his family. Saul’s daughter Michal came out to meet him. She said,“ You are the king of Israel. You have really brought honor to yourself today, haven’t you? You have gone around half- naked right in front of the female slaves of your officials. You acted like a fool!”David said to Michal,“ I did it to honor the Lord. He chose me instead of your father or anyone else in Saul’s family. The Lord appointed me ruler over his people Israel. I will celebrate to honor the Lord.And that’s not all. I will bring even less honor to myself. I will bring even more shame on myself. But those female slaves you spoke about will honor me.”Saul’s daughter Michal didn’t have any children as long as she lived.

Joshua 3:11-17
The ark will go into the Jordan River ahead of you. It’s the ark of the covenant of the Lord of the whole earth.Choose 12 men from the tribes of Israel. Choose one from each tribe.The priests will carry the ark of the Lord. He’s the Lord of the whole earth. As soon as the priests step into the Jordan, it will stop flowing. The water that’s coming down the river will pile up in one place. That’s how you will know that the living God is among you.”So the people took their tents down. They prepared to go across the Jordan River. The priests carrying the ark of the covenant went ahead of them.The water of the Jordan was going over its banks. It always does that at the time the crops are being gathered. The priests came to the river. Their feet touched the water’s edge.Right away the water coming down the river stopped flowing. It piled up far away at a town called Adam near Zarethan. The water flowing down to the Dead Sea was completely cut off. So the people went across the Jordan River opposite Jericho.The priests carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord. They stopped in the middle of the river and stood on dry ground. They stayed there until the whole nation of Israel had gone across on dry ground.
