2 Samuel 15:24-29 ▼

24 And, lo, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God--but Abiathar went up--until all the people had done passing out of the city.

25 And the king said unto Zadok: 'Carry back the ark of God into the city; if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LORD, He will bring me back, and show me both it, and His habitation;

26 but if He say thus: I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let Him do to me as seemeth good unto Him.'

27 The king said also unto Zadok the priest: 'Seest thou? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

28 See, I will tarry in the plains of the wilderness, until there come word from you to announce unto me.'

29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God back to Jerusalem; and they abode there.
