1 Chronicles 13:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

² David said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is the will of the Lord our God, let us send abroad to our kindred who remain in all the land of Israel, including the priests and Levites in the cities that have pasturelands, that they may come together to us.^{(A) 3} Then let us bring again the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek it in the days of Saul.”^{(B) 4} The whole assembly agreed to do so, for the thing pleased all the people.
