1 Chronicles 15:12-14

New American Standard Bible

¹² and he said to them, “You are the heads of the fathers’ households of the Levites; ^(A)consecrate yourselves, you and your relatives, so that you may bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel ^(B)to the place that I have prepared for it. ^13 (C)Because you did not carry it at the first, the Lord our God made an outburst against us, since we did not seek Him according to the ordinance.” ^14 (D)So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel.
