1 Chronicles 13:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

The Ark Brought from Kiriath-jearim

13 David consulted with the commanders of the thousands and of the hundreds, with every leader. ² David said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is the will of the Lord our God, let us send abroad to our kindred who remain in all the land of Israel, including the priests and Levites in the cities that have pasturelands, that they may come together to us.^{(A) 3} Then let us bring again the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek it in the days of Saul.”^(B)
