1 Chronicles 15:26 -

This verse with the following four are paralleled by 2 Samuel 6:12-16 The contents of this verse in particular reveal the intense anxiety and the trembling fear and awe with which the sacred burden was now again lifted. A world of meaning and of feeling for all those present at least underlay the expression, When God helped the Levites that bare the ark . The offering of seven bullocks and seven rams is thought by some to he additional to David's offering, when he had gone "six paces" ( 2 Samuel 6:13 ). Much more probably, however, the "six paces" meant, not six footsteps, but six lengths that would make some distance.
