1 Chronicles 15:1-3

International Standard Version

A Place for the Ark is Prepared^(A)

15 David built palaces for himself in the City of David, and he prepared a place for the Ark of God and erected a tent for it. ² Then David ordered that the Ark of God was to be carried by no one except the descendants of Levi, because the Lord had chosen them to carry the ark of the Lord and to serve him forever. ³ David assembled all of Israel in Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the Lord to its proper place that he had prepared for it.
