1 Chronicles 13:1-4

The Ark Brought from Kiriath-Jearim

1 David consulted with the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, with every leader.

2 And David said to all the assembly of Israel, "If it seems good to you and from the LORD our God, let us send abroad to our brothers ¹who remain in all the lands of Israel, as well as to the priests and Levites in the cities that have pasturelands, that they may be gathered to us.

3 Then let us bring again the ark of our God to us, ²for we did not seek it^[a] in the days of Saul."

4 All the assembly agreed to do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
