1 Chronicles 13:1-3

Complete Jewish Bible

13 David consulted with the commanders of thousands and of hundreds — with every leader. ² Then David said to the entire assembly of Isra’el, “If it seems good to you, and if it is the will of Adonai our God, let’s send messengers to the rest of our kinsmen in the land of Isra’el, and also to the cohanim and L’vi’im in their cities with surrounding open land, asking them to join us; ³ and let’s bring back the ark of our God to ourselves, since we didn’t go after it when Sha’ul was king.”
