1 Chronicles 13:1-4

1David consulted with his military officers, including those who led groups of a thousand and those who led groups of a hundred.

2David said to the whole Israelite assembly, “If you so desire and the Lord our God approves, let’s spread the word to our brothers who remain in all the regions of Israel, and to the priests and Levites in their cities, so they may join us.

3Let’s move the ark of our God back here, for we did not seek his will throughout Saul’s reign.”

4The whole assembly agreed to do this, for the proposal seemed right to all the people.
