1 Chronicles 15
1 And [David] made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.
| וַיַּֽעַשׂ־לוֹ בָתִּים בְּעִיר דָּוִיד וַיָּכֶן מָקוֹם לֽ͏ַאֲרוֹן הֽ͏ָאֱלֹהִים וַיֶּט־לוֹ אֹֽהֶל׃ |
2 Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister to him for ever.
| אָז אָמַר דָּוִיד לֹא לָשֵׂאת אֶת־אֲרוֹן הֽ͏ָאֱלֹהִים כִּי אִם־הַלְוִיִּם כִּי־בָם ׀ בָּחַר יְהוָה לָשֵׂאת אֶת־אֲרוֹן יְהוָה וּֽלְשָׁרְתוֹ עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃ |
3 And David assembled all Israel to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD to its place, which he had prepared for it.
| וַיַּקְהֵל דָּוִיד אֶת־כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־יְרֽוּשָׁלָ͏ִם לְהַעֲלוֹת אֶת־אֲרוֹן יְהוָה אֶל־מְקוֹמוֹ אֲשֶׁר־הֵכִין לֽוֹ׃ |
4 And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:
| וַיֶּאֱסֹף דָּוִיד אֶת־בְּנֵי אֽ͏ַהֲרֹן וְאֶת־הַלְוִיִּֽם׃ |
5 Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twenty:
| לִבְנֵי קְהָת אוּרִיאֵל הַשָּׂר וְאֶחָיו מֵאָה וְעֶשְׂרִֽים׃ |
6 Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:
| לִבְנֵי מְרָרִי עֲשָׂיָה הַשָּׂר וְאֶחָיו מָאתַיִם וְעֶשְׂרִֽים׃ |
7 Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and thirty:
| לִבְנֵי גֵּרְשׁוֹם יוֹאֵל הַשָּׂר וְאֶחָיו מֵאָה וּשְׁלֹשִֽׁים׃ |
8 Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred:
| לִבְנֵי אֱלִֽיצָפָן שְׁמַֽעְיָה הַשָּׂר וְאֶחָיו מָאתָֽיִם׃ |
9 Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren eighty:
| לִבְנֵי חֶבְרוֹן אֱלִיאֵל הַשָּׂר וְאֶחָיו שְׁמוֹנִֽים׃ |
10 Of the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twelve.
| לִבְנֵי עֻזִּיאֵל עַמִּינָדָב הַשָּׂר וְאֶחָיו מֵאָה וּשְׁנֵים עָשָֽׂר׃ |
11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,
| וַיִּקְרָא דָוִיד לְצָדוֹק וּלְאֶבְיָתָר הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְלַלְוִיִּם לְאֽוּרִיאֵל עֲשָׂיָה וְיוֹאֵל שְׁמַֽעְיָה וֶאֱלִיאֵל וְעַמִּינָדָֽב׃ |
12 And said to them, Ye [are] the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, [both] ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel to [the place that] I have prepared for it.
| וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם אַתֶּם רָאשֵׁי הָאָבוֹת לַלְוִיִּם הִֽתְקַדְּשׁוּ אַתֶּם וַאֲחֵיכֶם וְהַֽעֲלִיתֶם אֵת אֲרוֹן יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־הֲכִינוֹתִי לֽוֹ׃ |
13 For because ye [did it] not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.
| כִּי לְמַבָּרִאשׁוֹנָה לֹא אַתֶּם פָּרַץ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ בָּנוּ כִּי־לֹא דְרַשְׁנֻהוּ כַּמִּשְׁפָּֽט׃ |
14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.
| וַיִּֽתְקַדְּשׁוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם לְהַעֲלוֹת אֶת־אֲרוֹן יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
15 And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staffs on it, as Moses commanded, according to the word of the LORD.
| וַיִּשְׂאוּ בְנֵֽי־הַלְוִיִּם אֵת אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה מֹשֶׁה כִּדְבַר יְהוָה בִּכְתֵפָם בַּמֹּטוֹת עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃ |
16 And David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren [to be] the singers with instruments of music, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.
| וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד לְשָׂרֵי הַלְוִיִּם לְהַֽעֲמִיד אֶת־אֲחֵיהֶם הַמְשֹׁרְרִים בִּכְלֵי־שִׁיר נְבָלִים וְכִנֹּרוֹת וּמְצִלְתָּיִם מַשְׁמִיעִים לְהָרִֽים־בְּקוֹל לְשִׂמְחָֽה׃ |
17 So 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;
| וַיַּעֲמִידוּ הַלְוִיִּם אֵת הֵימָן בֶּן־יוֹאֵל וּמִן־אֶחָיו אָסָף בֶּן־בֶּֽרֶכְיָהוּ וּמִן־בְּנֵי מְרָרִי אֲחֵיהֶם אֵיתָן בֶּן־קֽוּשָׁיָֽהוּ׃ |
18 And with them their brethren of the second [degree], 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 porters.
| וְעִמָּהֶם אֲחֵיהֶם הַמִּשְׁנִים זְכַרְיָהוּ בֵּן וְיַֽעֲזִיאֵל וּשְׁמֽ͏ִירָמוֹת וִיחִיאֵל ׀ וְעֻנִּי אֱלִיאָב וּבְנָיָהוּ וּמַֽעֲשֵׂיָהוּ וּמַתִּתְיָהוּ וֶאֱלִיפְלֵהוּ וּמִקְנֵיָהוּ וְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם וִֽיעִיאֵל הַשֹּׁעֲרִֽים׃ |
19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, [were appointed] to sound with cymbals of brass;
| וְהַמְשֹׁרְרִים הֵימָן אָסָף וְאֵיתָן בִּמְצִלְתַּיִם נְחֹשֶׁת לְהַשְׁמִֽיעַ׃ |
20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;
| וּזְכַרְיָה וַעֲזִיאֵל וּשְׁמִֽירָמוֹת וִֽיחִיאֵל וְעֻנִּי וֽ͏ֶאֱלִיאָב וּמַעֲשֵׂיָהוּ וּבְנָיָהוּ בִּנְבָלִים עַל־עֲלָמֽוֹת׃ |
21 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.
| וּמַתִּתְיָהוּ וֶאֱלִֽיפְלֵהוּ וּמִקְנֵיָהוּ וְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם וִֽיעִיאֵל וַעֲזַזְיָהוּ בְּכִנֹּרוֹת עַל־הַשְּׁמִינִית לְנַצֵּֽחַ׃ |
22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, [was] for song: he instructed about the song, because he [was] skillful.
| וּכְנַנְיָהוּ שַֽׂר־הַלְוִיִּם בְּמַשָּׂא יָסֹר בַּמַּשָּׂא כִּי מֵבִין הֽוּא׃ |
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah [were] door-keepers for the ark.
| וּבֶֽרֶכְיָה וְאֶלְקָנָה שֹׁעֲרִים לָאָרֽוֹן׃ |
24 And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed-edom and Jehiah [were] door-keepers for the ark.
| וּשְׁבַנְיָהוּ וְיֽוֹשָׁפָט וּנְתַנְאֵל וַעֲמָשַׂי וּזְכַרְיָהוּ וּבְנָיָהוּ וֽ͏ֶאֱלִיעֶזֶר הַכֹּהֲנִים מחצצרים מַחְצְרִים בַּחֲצֹצְרוֹת לִפְנֵי אֲרוֹן הֽ͏ָאֱלֹהִים וְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם וִֽיחִיָּה שֹׁעֲרִים לָאָרֽוֹן׃ |
25 So David and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the house of Obed-edom with joy.
| וַיְהִי דָוִיד וְזִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְשָׂרֵי הָאֲלָפִים הַהֹֽלְכִים לְֽהַעֲלוֹת אֶת־אֲרוֹן בְּרִית־יְהוָה מִן־בֵּית עֹבֵֽד־אֱדֹם בְּשִׂמְחָֽה׃ |
26 And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.
| וֽ͏ַיְהִי בֶּעְזֹר הֽ͏ָאֱלֹהִים אֶת־הַלְוִיִּם נֹשְׂאֵי אֲרוֹן בְּרִית־יְהוָה וַיִּזְבְּחוּ שִׁבְעָֽה־פָרִים וְשִׁבְעָה אֵילִֽים׃ |
27 And David [was] clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bore the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also [had] upon him an ephod of linen.
| וְדָוִיד מְכֻרְבָּל ׀ בִּמְעִיל בּוּץ וְכָל־הַלְוִיִּם הַנֹּשְׂאִים אֶת־הָאָרוֹן וְהַמְשֹׁרְרִים וּכְנַנְיָה הַשַּׂר הַמַּשָּׂא הַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְעַל־דָּוִיד אֵפוֹד בָּֽד׃ |
28 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.
| וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל מַעֲלִים אֶת־אֲרוֹן בְּרִית־יְהוָה בִּתְרוּעָה וּבְקוֹל שׁוֹפָר וּבַחֲצֹצְרוֹת וּבִמְצִלְתָּיִם מַשְׁמִעִים בִּנְבָלִים וְכִנֹּרֽוֹת׃ |
29 And it came to pass, [as] the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul, looking out at a window, saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.
| וַיְהִי אֲרוֹן בְּרִית יְהוָה בָּא עַד־עִיר דָּוִיד וּמִיכַל בַּת־שָׁאוּל נִשְׁקְפָה ׀ בְּעַד הַחַלּוֹן וַתֵּרֶא אֶת־הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִיד מְרַקֵּד וּמְשַׂחֵק וַתִּבֶז לוֹ בְּלִבָּֽהּ׃ |
