10Of the sonnes of Uzziel: Amminadab the chiefe, and his brethren an hundred and twelue. 11And Dauid called for Zadok and Abiathar the Priests, and for the Leuites, for Uriel, Asaiah and Ioel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab, 12And said vnto them, Yee are the chiefe of the fathers of the Leuites: sanctifie your selues both yee and your brethren, that you may bring vp the Arke of the Lord God of Israel, vnto the place that I haue prepared for it. 13For because ye did it not at the first, the Lord our God made a breach vpon vs, for that we sought him not after the due order. 14So the Priestes and the Leuites sanctified themselues to bring vp the Arke of the Lord God of Israel.
