2 Samuel 15:24-29 ▼

24 and behold, also Zadok, and all the Levites with him, are carrying the Ark of the Covenant of God, and they make the Ark of God firm, and Abiathar goes up, until the completion of all the people to pass over out of the city.

25 And the king says to Zadok, “Take back the Ark of God to the city; if I find grace in the eyes of YHWH, then He has brought me back, and shown me it and His habitation;

26 and if thus He says, I have not delighted in you; here I [am], He does to me as [is] good in His eyes.”

27 And the king says to Zadok the priest, “Are you a seer? Return to the city in peace, and your son Ahimaaz, and Jonathan son of Abiathar, your two sons with you;

28 see, I am lingering in the plains of the wilderness until the coming in of a word from you to declare to me.”

29 And Zadok takes back—and Abiathar—the Ark of God to Jerusalem, and they abide there.
