2 Samuel 15:24-26

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁴ Abiathar came up, and Zadok also, with all the Levites, carrying the ark of the covenant of God. They set down the ark of God, until the people had all passed out of the city. ²⁵ Then the king said to Zadok, ‘Carry the ark of God back into the city. If I find favour in the eyes of the Lord, he will bring me back and let me see both it and the place where it remains. ²⁶ But if he says, “I take no pleasure in you”, here I am, let him do to me what seems good to him.’
