1 Chronicles 13:1-3

Revised Geneva Translation

13 And David counseled with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and with all the governors.

² And David said to all the Congregation of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and that it proceeds from the LORD our God, we will send to and fro to our brethren who are left in all the land of Israel (for with them are the priests and the Levites, in the cities and their suburbs), so that they may assemble themselves to us!

³ “And we will bring back the Ark of our God! For we did not seek it in the days of Saul!”
