1 Chronicles 15:4

And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:

David assembled the children of Aaron, who were the priests, and the Levites as part of his plan to bring the ark of God to Jerusalem. The assembling was done in order to bring the ark according to God's instructions. The movement of the ark in this event was from Kirjath-jearim to Jerusalem.

The ark is also called God's glory and covenant. It was brought from the house of Obed-edom to Jerusalem and placed in a tent that David had prepared for it. Before that bringing to Jerusalem, it had been taken by the Philistines and kept at Kirjath-jearim and then at the house of Obed-edom.
