1 Chronicles 13:1-3

Holman Christian Standard Bible

David and the Ark

13 David consulted with all his leaders, the commanders of hundreds and of thousands. ² Then he said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this is from the Lord our God, let us spread out and send the message to the rest of our relatives in all the districts of Israel, including the priests and Levites in their cities with pasturelands,^(A) that they should gather together with us. ³ Then let us bring back the ark of our God, for we did not inquire of Him^(B) in Saul’s days.”
