1 Fecit quoque sibi domos in civitate David et praeparavit locum arcae Dei tetenditque ei tabernaculum.	1 Also, he made houses for himself in the City of David. And built a place for the ark of God, and he set up a tent for it.
2 Tunc dixit David: “ Illicitum est, ut a quocumque portetur arca Dei, nisi a Levitis, quos elegit Dominus ad portandum eam et ad ministrandum sibi usque in aeternum ”.	2 Then David said: “It is illicit for anyone to carry the ark of God except the Levites, whom the Lord chose to carry it and to minister to himself, even unto eternity.”
3 Congregavitque David universum Israel in Ierusalem, ut afferretur arca Domini in locum suum, quem praeparaverat ei;	3 And he gathered all of Israel in Jerusalem, so that the ark of God might be brought into its place, which he had prepared for it.
4 necnon et filios Aaron et Levitas.	4 Certainly, there were both the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
5 De filiis Caath Uriel princeps fuit et fratres eius centum viginti;	5 From the sons of Kohath, Uriel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twenty.
6 de filiis Merari Asaia princeps et fratres eius ducenti viginti;	6 From the sons of Merari: Asaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred twenty.

11 Vocavitque David Sadoc et Abiathar sacerdotes et Levitas Uriel, Asaiam, Ioel, Semeiam, Eliel et Aminadab	11 And David summoned the priests, Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
12 et dixit ad eos: “ Vos, qui estis principes familiarum Leviticarum, sanctificamini cum fratribus vestris et afferte arcam Domini, Dei Israel, ad locum, quem praeparavi.	12 And he said to them: “You who are the leaders of the Levitical families, be sanctified with your brothers, and bring the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place that has been prepared for it.
13 Quia a principio non eratis praesentes, fecit Dominus, Deus Israel, diruptionem in nobis; non enim quaesivimus eum, sicut fas erat ”.	13 Otherwise, as it was before, when the Lord struck us because you were not present, so also it might be now, if we do what is illicit.”
14 Sanctificati sunt ergo sacerdotes et Levitae, ut portarent arcam Domini, Dei Israel;	14 Therefore, the priests and the Levites were sanctified, so that they might carry the ark of the Lord God of Israel.
15 et tulerunt filii Levi arcam Dei, sicut praeceperat Moyses iuxta verbum Domini, umeris suis in vectibus.	15 And the sons of Levi took the ark of God, just as Moses had instructed, in accord with the word of the Lord, upon their shoulders by the bars.
16 Dixitque David principibus Levitarum, ut constituerent de fratribus suis cantores in organis musicorum, nablis videlicet et lyris et cymbalis, ut resonaret fortiter sonitus laetitiae.	16 And David spoke to the leaders of the Levites, so that they might appoint, from their brothers, singers with musical instruments, specifically, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, so that a joyful noise might resound on high.
17 Constitueruntque Levitae Heman filium Ioel et de fratribus eius Asaph filium Barachiae, de filiis vero Merari fratribus eorum Ethan filium Casaiae	17 And they appointed from the Levites: Heman, the son of Joel; and from his brothers, Asaph, the son of Berechiah; and truly, from their brothers, the sons of Merari: Ethan, the son of Kushaiah.
18 et cum eis fratres eorum in secundo ordine Zachariam et Bani et Iaziel et Semiramoth et Iahiel et Ani, Eliab et Banaiam et Maasiam et Matthathiam et Eliphalu et Maceniam et Obededom et Iehiel ianitores.	18 And with them were their brothers in the second rank: Zechariah, and Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jahiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, who were gatekeepers.

22 Chonenias autem princeps Levitarum portantium arcam praeerat ad portandum, erat quippe valde sapiens.	22 Now Chenaniah, the leader of the Levites, was foremost over the prophecies, in order to mark out in advance the melodies. For indeed, he was very skillful.
23 Et Barachias et Elcana ianitores pro arca.	23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters of the ark.
24 Porro Sebania et Iosaphat et Nathanael et Amasai et Zacharias et Banaias et Eliezer sacerdotes clangebant tubis coram arca Dei, et Obededom et Iehias erant ianitores pro arca.	24 And the priests, Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, were sounding the trumpets before the ark of God.

25 Igitur David et maiores natu Israel et tribuni ierunt ad deportandam arcam foederis Domini de domo Obededom cum laetitia.	25 Therefore, David, and all those greater by birth of Israel, and the tribunes, went to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the house of Obededom with rejoicing.

29 Cumque pervenisset arca foederis Domini usque ad civitatem David, Michol filia Saul prospiciens per fenestram vidit regem David saltantem atque ludentem et despexit eum in corde suo.	29 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord had arrived in the City of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, gazing through a window, saw king David dancing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.
