1 And David counseled with the captains of the thousands and of the hundreds, with every leader. 2 And David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it is good to you? breaking forth from YHWH our God, let us send out to our brothers remaining in all the land of Israel, and with them to the priests and the Levites in their cities and their pasturelands, that they may gather together to us. 3 And let us bring back the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek Him in the days of Saul.” 4 And all the assembly said that they would do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. 5 And David gathered together all Israel from the Shihor in Egypt and as far as Lebo-Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim. 6 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah (to Kiriath-jearim), which was was unto Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, YHWH, dwelling between the cherubim, where the Name is proclaimed. 7 And they carried the ark of God on a new cart from the house of Abinadab. And Uzza and Ahio were driving the cart. 8 And David and all Israel played before the face of God with all the might, with singing, and on harps, and on stringed instruments, and on tambourines, and on cymbals, and with the trumpets. 1 Chronicles 13:1-8, Berean Literal Bible.
