1 Chronicles 6:29-31

Amplified Bible

²⁹The sons of Merari: Mahli, Libni his son, Shimei his son, Uzza his son, ³⁰Shimea his son, Haggiah his son, Asaiah his son.

³¹Now these are those whom David appointed over the service of song in the house of the Lord after the ark [of the covenant] ^[a]rested there.

1 Chronicles 6:31 The ark was captured by the Philistines (1 Sam 4:11-22). They returned it after enduring seven plague-filled months. The Israelites placed it in the house of Abinadab, where it remained for many years until David had it brought up to the City of David (2 Sam 6:12).
