ΚΑΙ ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ οἰκίας ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ, καὶ ἡτοίμασε τὸν τόπον τῇ κιβωτῷ τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτῇ σκηνήν. τότε εἶπε Δαυίδ· οὐκ ἔστιν ἆραι τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ τοὺς Λευίτας, ὅτι αὐτοὺς ἐξελέξατο Κύριος αἴρειν τὴν κιβωτὸν Κυρίου καὶ λειτουργεῖν αὐτῷ ἕως αἰῶνος. καὶ ἐξεκκλησίασε Δαυὶδ τὸν πάντα Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ τοῦ ἀνενέγκαι τὴν κιβωτὸν Κυρίου εἰς τὸν τόπον, ὃν ἡτοίμασεν αὐτῇ. καὶ συνήγαγε Δαυὶδ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀαρὼν τοὺς Λευίτας. τῶν υἱῶν Καάθ· Οὐριὴλ ὁ ἄρχων καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι. τῶν υἱῶν Μεραρί· Ἀσαΐα ὁ ἄρχων καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, διακόσιοι εἴκοσι. τῶν υἱῶν Γηρσάμ· Ἰωὴλ ὁ ἄρχων καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, ἑκατὸν τριάκοντα. τῶν υἱῶν Ἐλισαφάν· Σεμεΐ ὁ ἄρχων καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, διακόσιοι. τῶν υἱῶν Χεβρών· Ἐλιὴλ ὁ ἄρχων καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, ὀγδοήκοντα. τῶν υἱῶν Ὀζιήλ· Ἀμιναδὰβ ὁ ἄρχων καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, ἑκατὸν δεκαδύο. καὶ ἐκάλεσε Δαυὶδ τὸν Σαδὼκ καὶ Ἀβιάθαρ, τοὺς ἱερεῖς, καὶ τοὺς Λευίτας, τὸν Οὐριήλ, Ἀσαΐαν καὶ Ἰωὴλ καὶ Σαμαίαν καὶ Ἐλιὴλ καὶ Ἀμιναδάβ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὑμεῖς ἄρχοντες πατριῶν τῶν Λευιτῶν, ἁγνίσθητε ὑμεῖς καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ὑμῶν καὶ ἀνοίσετε τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ, οὗ ἡτοίμασα αὐτῇ· ὅτι οὐκ ἐν τῷ πρότερον ὑμᾶς εἶναι διέκοψεν ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐν ἡμῖν, ὅτι οὐκ ἐξεζητήσαμεν ἐν κρίματι. καὶ ἡγνίσθησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται τοῦ ἀνενέγκαι τὴν κιβωτὸν Θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ. καὶ ἔλαβον οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν Λευιτῶν τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὡς ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῆς ἐν λόγῳ Θεοῦ κατὰ τὴν γραφήν, ἐν ἀναφορεῦσιν ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς. καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ τοῖς ἄρχουσι τῶν Λευιτῶν· στήσατε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῶν τοὺς ψαλτῳδοὺς ἐν ὀργάνοις, νάβλαις, κινύραις καὶ κυμβάλοις τοῦ φωνῆσαι εἰς ὕψος ἐν φωνῇ εὐφροσύνης. καὶ ἔστησαν οἱ Λευῖται τὸν Αἰμὰν υἱὸν Ἰωήλ· ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ Ἀσὰφ υἱὸς Βαραχία. καὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Μεραρὶ ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ Αἰθὰν υἱὸς Κισαίου. καὶ μετ᾿ αὐτῶν οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν οἱ δεύτεροι Ζαχαρίας καὶ Ὀζιὴλ καὶ Σεμιραμὼθ καὶ Ἰεϊὴλ καὶ Ἐλιωὴλ καὶ Ἐλιὰβ καὶ Βαναία καὶ Μαασαΐα καὶ Ματταθία καὶ Ἐλιφαλία καὶ Μακενία καὶ Ἀβδεδὸμ καὶ Ἰεϊὴλ καὶ Ὀζίας, οἱ πυλωροί. καὶ οἱ ψαλτῳδοί, Αἰμάν, Ἀσὰφ καὶ Αἰθὰν ἐν κυμβάλοις χαλκοῖς τοῦ ἀκουσθῆναι ποιῆσαι· Ζαχαρίας καὶ Ὀζιήλ, Σεμιραμώθ, Ἰεϊήλ, Ὠνί, Ἐλιάβ, Μασαίας, Βαναίας ἐν νάβλαις ἐπὶ ἀλαιμώθ. καὶ Ματταθίας καὶ Ἐλιφαλίας καὶ Μακενίας καὶ Ἀβδεδὸμ καὶ Ἰεϊὴλ καὶ Ὀζίας ἐν κινύραις ἀμασενὶθ τοῦ ἐνισχῦσαι. καὶ Χωνενία ἄρχων τῶν Λευιτῶν ἄρχων τῶν ᾠδῶν, ὅτι συνετὸς ἦν. καὶ Βαραχία καὶ Ἐλκανὰ πυλωροὶ τῆς κιβωτοῦ. καὶ Σοβνία καὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ καὶ Ναθαναὴλ καὶ Ἀμασαΐ καὶ Ζαχαρία καὶ Βαναΐ καὶ Ἐλιέζερ οἱ ἱερεῖς σαλπίζοντες ταῖς σάλπιγξιν ἔμπροσθεν τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ. καὶ Ἀβδεδὸμ καὶ Ἰεΐα πυλωροὶ τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ. καὶ ἦν Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οἱ χιλίαρχοι οἱ πορευόμενοι τοῦ ἀναγαγεῖν τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης ἐξ οἴκου Ἀβδεδὸμ ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ. καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ κατισχῦσαι τὸν Θεὸν τοὺς Λευίτας αἴροντας τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης Κυρίου καὶ ἔθυσαν ἑπτὰ μόσχους καὶ ἑπτὰ κριούς. καὶ Δαυὶδ περιεζωσμένος ἐν στολῇ βυσσίνῃ καὶ πάντες οἱ Λευῖται αἴροντες τὴν κιβωτὸν διαθήκης Κυρίου καὶ οἱ ψαλτῳδοὶ καὶ Χωνενίας ὁ ἄρχων τῶν ᾠδῶν τῶν ᾀδόντων, καὶ ἐπὶ Δαυὶδ στολὴ βυσσίνη. καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ἀνάγοντες τὴν κιβωτὸν διαθήκης Κυρίου ἐν σημασίᾳ καὶ ἐν φωνῇ σωφὲρ καὶ ἐν σάλπιγξι καὶ ἐν κυμβάλοις, ἀναφωνοῦντες ἐν νάβλαις καὶ ἐν κινύραις. καὶ ἐγένετο ἡ κιβωτὸς διαθήκης Κυρίου καὶ ἦλθεν ἕως πόλεως Δαυίδ, καὶ Μελχὸλ ἡ θυγάτηρ Σαοὺλ παρέκυψε διὰ τῆς θυρίδος καὶ εἶδε τὸν βασιλέα Δαυὶδ ὀρχούμενον καὶ παίζοντα, καὶ ἐξουδένωσεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτῆς.
