Exegesis
The particle et {אֶת־ | ʾet} marks each definite object, here bnei Aharon {בְּנֵי אַהֲרֹן | bə-nê ʾăhărōn} ‘sons/descendants of Aaron’, while ve'et {וְאֶת־ | wəʾet} coordinates the second object haleviyim {הַלְוִיִּם | haləwīyim} ‘the Levites’. In translating into English, the Hebrew VSO becomes SVO for clarity, preserving the construct relationship to highlight David’s authoritative summoning of these priestly groups for temple service.
Root and etymology
l-v-hlamed–vav–heh
