2 Samuel 15:21-29
21But IttaiH863 answeredH6030 the kingH4428 and saidH559, “As the LordH3068 livesH2416, and as my lordH113 the kingH4428 livesH2416, surelyH3588H518 1whereverH4725H834H8033 my lordH113 the kingH4428 may be, whetherH518 for deathH4194 orH518 for lifeH2425, thereH8033 alsoH3588 your servantH5650 will be.” 22Therefore DavidH1732 saidH559 to IttaiH863, “GoH1980 and passH5674 overH5674.” So IttaiH863 the GittiteH1663 passedH5674 overH5674 with allH3605 his menH376 and allH3605 the littleH2945 onesH2945 whoH834 were with him. 23While allH3605 the countryH776 was weepingH1058 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, allH3605 the peopleH5971 passedH5674 overH5674. The kingH4428 also passedH5674 overH5674 2the brookH5158 KidronH6939, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 passedH5674 overH5674 towardH5921H6440 3the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057.
24Now beholdH2009, 4ZadokH6659 alsoH1571 came, and allH3605 the LevitesH3881 with him 5carryingH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430. And they setH3332 downH3332 the arkH727 of GodH430, and 6AbiatharH54 cameH5927 up untilH5704 allH3605 the peopleH5971 had finishedH8552 passingH5674 from the cityH5892. 25The kingH4428 saidH559 to ZadokH6659, “ReturnH7725 the arkH727 of GodH430 to the cityH5892. IfH518 I findH4672 favorH2580 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, then 7He will bringH7725 me backH7725 again and showH7200 me both it and 8His habitationH5116. 26But ifH518 He should sayH559 thusH3541, ‘9I haveH2654 noH3808 delightH2654 in you,’ beholdH2009, here I am, 10let Him doH6213 to me as seems goodH2895 11to Him.” 27The kingH4428 saidH559 also to ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, “Are you not 12a seerH7203? ReturnH7725 to the cityH5892 in peaceH7965 and your 13twoH8147 sonsH1121 with you, your sonH1121 AhimaazH290 and JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54. 28SeeH7200, I am going to waitH4102 14at the fordsH5679 of the wildernessH4057 untilH5704 wordH1697 comesH935 from you to informH5046 me.” 29Therefore ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 returnedH7725 the arkH727 of GodH430 to JerusalemH3389 and remainedH3427 thereH8033.
