1 Chronicles 13:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

² And David said to all the assembly of Israel, If it seems good to you and if it is of the Lord our God, let us send abroad everywhere to our brethren who are left in all the land of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites in their cities that have suburbs and pasturelands, that they may gather together with us.

³ And let us bring again the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek it during the days of Saul.

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