Chief of the fathers. Heads of their respective houses of Levites.

Sanctify yourselves. Before engaging in the solemn work of carrying the ark they were to cleanse themselves of all defilement. Now that another attempt was to be made to transfer the ark, David wished to make sure that every requirement of God should be strictly adhered to.
