1David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.

2David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is of Yahweh our God, let us send abroad everywhere to our brothers who are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have suburbs, that they may gather themselves to us;

3and let us bring again the ark of our God to us. For we didn’t seek it in the days of Saul.”

4All the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

5So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor the brook of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim.
