1 Chronicles 13:1-4

1David consulted with every officer who commanded a regiment or battalion.

2Then he told the whole assembly of Israel, “If you approve and if the Lord our God has consented, we will send ⌞an invitation⌟ to the rest of our relatives in every region of Israel and to the priests and Levites in their cities and pasturelands so that they may join us.

3Then we’ll bring back our God’s ark, which we ignored while Saul was king.”

4The whole assembly agreed to this because the people considered it the right thing to do.
