25And the king saith to Zadok, `Take back the ark of God to the city; if I find grace in the eyes of Jehovah, then He hath brought me back, and shewn me it and His habitation;
26and if thus He say, I have not delighted in thee; here [am] I, He doth to me as [is] good in His eyes.`
27And the king saith unto Zadok the priest, `Art thou a seer? turn back to the city in peace, and Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan son of Abiathar, your two sons with you;
28see ye, I am tarrying in the plains of the wilderness till the coming in of a word from you to declare to me.`
29And Zadok taketh back -- and Abiathar -- the ark of God to Jerusalem, and they abide there.
30And David is going up in the ascent of the olives, going up and weeping, and he hath the head covered, and he is going barefooted, and all the people who [are] with him have covered each his head, and have gone up, going up and weeping;
31and David declared, saying, `Ahithophel [is] among the conspirators with Absalom;` and David saith, `Make foolish, I pray Thee, the counsel of Ahithophel, O Jehovah.`
