2and David saith to all the assembly of Israel, `If unto you it be good, and from Jehovah our God it hath broken forth -- we send unto our brethren, those left in all the lands of Israel, and with them the priests and the Levites, in the cities of their suburbs, and they are gathered unto us,
3and we bring round the ark of our God unto us, for we sought Him not in the days of Saul.`
4And all the assembly say to do so, for the thing is right in the eyes of all the people.
5And David assembleth all Israel from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering in of Hamath, to bring in the ark of God from Kirjath-Jearim,
6and David goeth up, and all Israel, to Baalah, unto Kirjath-Jearim that [is] to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God Jehovah, inhabiting the cherubs, where the Name is called on.
7And they place the ark of God on a new cart, from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio are leading the cart,
