1 Chronicles 13:1-8

1And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, with every prince.

2And David said to all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good to you, and it be of Jehovah our 1God, let us send abroad to our brethren everywhere, that are left in all the lands of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves to us;

3and let us bring again the ark of our 2God to us; for we inquired not of it in the days of Saul.

4And all the congregation said that they should do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

5And David assembled all Israel from the Shihor of Egypt unto the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of 3God from Kirjath-jearim.

6And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of 4God, of Jehovah, who sitteth between the cherubim, whose name is placed [there].

7And they carried the ark of 5God on a new cart out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.

8And David and all Israel played before 6God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with lutes, and with tambours, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
