1 Chronicles 15

David assembles all Israel in Jerusalem to bring the ark of YHWH to its prepared place, instructing the Levites—led by chiefs like Uriel, Asaiah, and Zadok—to consecrate themselves, as YHWH's anger had burst out previously due to improper transport.[1][2][3] The Levites carry the ark on poles as Moses commanded, with appointed musicians like Heman, Asaph, and Ethan; it enters the City of David amid sacrifices, rejoicing, and praise.[2][3][4]
