Exegesis
The direct object marker et {אֶת־ | ’et} identifies haLeviim {הַלְוִיִּם֙ | hal-wî-yîm} as the object, and el Yerushalayim {אֶל־יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם | ’el yᵉ-rû-šā-lā-yim} anchors the action in Jerusalem.
In context — 2 Chronicles 23:2
They moved through Judah and assembled the Levites from every city of Judah, along with the heads of the ancestral houses of Israel; after that, they came to Jerusalem.
