1 Chronicles 15:14-16

New Century Version

¹⁴ Then the priests and Levites prepared themselves for service to the Lord so they could carry the Ark of the Lord, the God of Israel. ¹⁵ The Levites used special poles to carry the Ark of God on their shoulders, as Moses had commanded, just as the Lord had said they should.

¹⁶ David told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their brothers as singers to play their lyres, harps, and cymbals and to sing happy songs.
