And all the congregation said that they would do so They unanimously agreed to the motion: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people; they saw the propriety, necessity, and usefulness of it.
2
David said to all the assembly of Yisra'el, If it seem good to you, and if it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad everywhere to our brothers who are left in all Eretz-Yisra'el, with whom the Kohanim and Levites are in their cities that have suburbs, that they may gather themselves to us;
3
and let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we didn't seek it in the days of Sha'ul.
4
All the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
5
So David assembled all Yisra'el together, from the Shichor [the brook] of Mitzrayim even to the entrance of Hamat, to bring the ark of God from Kiryat-Ye`arim.
6
David went up, and all Yisra'el, to Ba`alah, [that is], to Kiryat-Ye`arim, which belonged to Yehudah, to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD that sits [above] the Keruvim, that is called by the Name.
