NET Bible
"The first time you did not carry it; that is why the LORD God attacked us, because we did not ask him about the proper way to carry it.”"
— 1 Chronicles 15:13, NET Bible
“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.”
“For because ye bare it not at the first, Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not according to the ordinance. ”
“For because you didn't carry it at first, Yahweh our God made broke out against us, because we didn't seek him according to the ordinance."”
“Lest as the Lord at first struck us, because you were not present, the same should now also come to pass, by our doing some thing against the law.”
“For because you did not take it at the first, the Lord our God sent punishment on us, because we did not get directions from him in the right way.”
“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.”
From the descendants of Uzziel: Amminadab the leader and 112 of his relatives.
David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar, along with the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
He told them:“You are the leaders of the Levites’ families. You and your relatives must consecrate yourselves and bring the ark of the LORD God of Israel up to the place I have prepared for it.
The first time you did not carry it; that is why the LORD God attacked us, because we did not ask him about the proper way to carry it.”
The priests and Levites consecrated themselves so they could bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.
The descendants of Levi carried the ark of God on their shoulders with poles, just as Moses had commanded in keeping with the LORD’s instruction.
David told the leaders of the Levites to appoint some of their relatives as musicians; they were to play various instruments, including stringed instruments and cymbals, and to sing loudly and joyfully.
