1 Chronicles 13:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ And let us bring again the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek it during the days of Saul.

⁴ And all the assembly agreed to do so, for the thing seemed right in the eyes of all the people.

⁵ So David gathered all Israel together, from the Shihor, the brook of Egypt [that marked the southeast border of Palestine], to the entrance of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
