Context of 2 Samuel 15:26
24Zadok and all the Levites who were with him were carrying the ark of the covenant of God. When they positioned the ark of God, Abiathar offered sacrifices until all the people had finished leaving the city. 25Then the king said to Zadok, “Take the ark of God back to the city. If I find favor in the Lord’s sight he will bring me back and enable me to see both it and his dwelling place again. However, if he should say, ‘I do not take pleasure in you,’ then he will deal with me in a way that he considers appropriate.” 27The king said to Zadok the priest, “Are you a seer? Go back to the city in peace! Your son Ahimaaz and Abiathar’s son Jonathan may go with you and Abiathar. 28Look, I will be waiting at the fords of the desert until word from you reaches me.”
