2 Samuel 15:25-29

25Then the king told Zadok, “Take the ark of God back to [its rightful place in] the city [of Jerusalem, the capital]. If I find favor in the Lord’s sight, He will bring me back again and let me see both it and His dwelling place (habitation).

26But if He should say, ‘I have no delight in you,’ then here I am; let Him do to me what seems good to Him.”

27The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a seer? Return to the city in peace [you and Abiathar], and your two sons with you, your son Ahimaaz and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

28See, I am going to wait at the fords [of the Jordan] in the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”

29So Zadok and Abiathar brought the ark of God back to Jerusalem, and they stayed there.
