1 Chronicles 15:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

15 He made also houses for himself in the city of David: and built a place for the ark of God, and pitched a tabernacle for it.

² Then David said: No one ought to carry the ark of God, but the Levites, whom the Lord hath chosen to carry it, and to minister unto himself for ever.

³ And he gathered all Israel together into Jerusalem, that the ark of God might be brought into its place, which he had prepared for it.
