David Gets Ready To Bring the Sacred Chest to Jerusalem

15 David had several buildings built in Jerusalem, and he had a tent set up where the sacred chest would be kept. ^2 (A) He said, “Only Levites will be allowed to carry the chest, because the Lord has chosen them to do that work and to serve him forever.”

³ Next, David invited everyone to come to Jerusalem and watch the sacred chest being carried to the place he had set up for it.
