1 Chronicles 15:10-21 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

10. from the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the leader and 112 of his kinsmen.

11. David summoned Zadok and Abiathar the kohanim, along with the Levites, Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel and Amminadab.

12. He told them, “You are the heads of the Levitical families. Sanctify yourselves, you and your kinsmen, so that you may bring up the Ark of Adonai, the God of Israel, to the place that I have prepared for it.

13. Because you were not there the first time, Adonai our God burst out upon us, for we did not seek Him regarding the prescribed way.”

14. So the kohanim and the Levites sanctified themselves in order to bring up the Ark of Adonai, the God of Israel.

15. The Levites carried the Ark of God on their shoulders with poles, just as Moses commanded according to the word of Adonai.

16. David ordered the leaders of the Levites to appoint their kinsmen, the singers, with musical instruments, harps, lyres, and cymbals, to joyfully make their voices heard.

17. So the Levites appointed Heman son of Joel; from his brothers, Asaph son of Berechiah; from their brothers the descendants of Merari, Ethan son of Kushaiah;

18. and with them their relatives second in rank: Zechariah, Ben, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphalehu and Mikneiahu, and the gatekeepers Obed-edom and Jeiel.

19. The singers Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were to sound the bronze cymbals;

20. Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoh, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah and Benaiah were to play harps according to alamoth ,

21. but Mattitiah, Eliphalehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jehiel and Azaziah were to lead with lyres, according to the sheminith .
