1. Krønikebok 15,1

David bygde hus til seg selv i Davids by;
og han gjorde klar et sted for Guds ark,
og satte opp et telt for den.

2 Da erklærte David,
"Ingen skal transportere Guds ark unntatt levittene,
for Herren har valgt dem til å bære Herrens ark
og til å tjene Ham for alltid."

3 David samlet hele Israel i Jerusalem for å føre Herrens ark opp til stedet han hadde forberedt for den.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
