2 Samuel 15:24-29
New American Standard Bible
24 Now behold, (A)Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, (B)carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and (C)Abiathar came up until all the people had finished crossing over from the city. 25 And the king said to Zadok, “Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the sight of the Lord, then (D)He will bring me back and show me both it and (E)His habitation. 26 But if He says this: ‘(F)I have no delight in you,’ then here I am, (G)let Him do to me as seems good [a]to Him.” 27 The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not (H)a seer? Return to the city in peace, and your (I)two sons with you, your son Ahimaaz and Jonathan the son of Abiathar. 28 See, I am going to wait (J)at the river crossing places of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.” 29 So Zadok and Abiathar returned the ark of God to Jerusalem and remained there.

They set down the ark of God until the people had all passed out of the city.(A) 25 Then the king said to Zadok, “Carry the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the Lord, he will bring me back and let me see both it and the place where it stays.(B) 26 But if he says, ‘I take no pleasure in you,’ here I am, let him do to me what seems good to him.”(C) 27 The king also said to the priest Zadok, “Look,[a] go back to the city in peace, you and Abiathar,[b] with your two sons, Ahimaaz your son and Jonathan son of Abiathar.(D) 28 See, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”(E) 29 So Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark of God back to Jerusalem, and they remained there.
