¹² They camped at a place west of Kiriath-jearim in Judah, which is called Mahaneh-dan^[a] to this day.

²⁵ And the Spirit of the Lord began to stir him while he lived in Mahaneh-dan, which is located between the towns of Zorah and Eshtaol.

⁴ David had already moved the Ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the tent he had prepared for it in Jerusalem.

⁵ So David summoned all Israel, from the Shihor Brook of Egypt in the south all the way to the town of Lebo-hamath in the north, to join in bringing the Ark of God from Kiriath-jearim. ⁶ Then David and all Israel went to Baalah of Judah (also called Kiriath-jearim) to bring back the Ark of God, which bears the name^[a] of the Lord who is enthroned between the cherubim.

7 So the men of Kiriath-jearim came to get the Ark of the Lord. They took it to the hillside home of Abinadab and ordained Eleazar, his son, to be in charge of it.
