David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites--The children of Aaron were the two priests (Ch1 15:11), Zadok and Abiathar, heads of the two priestly houses of Eleazar and Ithamar, and colleagues in the high priesthood (Sa2 20:25). The Levites were the chiefs of their father's house (Ch1 15:12); four belonging to the Kohathite branch, on whose shoulders the ark was to be borne; namely, Uriel, Shemaiah--descended from Elizaphan or Elzaphan-- (Exo 6:22), Hebron (Exo 6:18; Ch1 6:2), and Amminadab from Uzziel (Exo 6:22).
