Context of 1 Chronicles 13:5

3and let us bring again the ark of our God 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. And David assembled all Israel from the Shihor of Egypt unto the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God 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 God, of Jehovah, who sitteth between the cherubim, whose name is placed [there]. 7And they carried the ark of God on a new cart out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.
