2 Samuel 15:25-29

25Then the king said to Zadok, “Take the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the Lord’s eyes, he will bring me back and let me see it and his dwelling place again.

26But if he says, ‘I am not pleased with you,’ then I am ready; let him do to me whatever seems good to him.”

27The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Do you understand? Go back to the city with my blessing. Take your son Ahimaaz with you, and also Abiathar’s son Jonathan. You and Abiathar return with your two sons.

28I will wait at the fords in the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”

29So Zadok and Abiathar took the ark of God back to Jerusalem and stayed there.
