1 Chronicles 13:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² he spoke to the assembly of Israel, saying, “If you feel that this is good, for the Lord, our God, has willed it, then let us send messengers to the rest of our brethren throughout the land of Israel, including the priests and the Levites who are in their cities and pastures, so that they can come and join us. ³ Let us bring the Ark of God to where we are, for they did not make inquiry at it during the reign of Saul.”

⁴ The whole assembly said that they would do this, for all of the people considered it to be the right thing to do.
