2And Dauid said vnto all the Congregation of Israel, If it seeme good vnto you, and that it be of the Lord our God, let vs send abroad vnto our brethren euery where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the Priests and Leuites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselues vnto vs.Select 1 Chronicles 13:2

3And let vs bring againe the Arke of our God to vs: for wee enquired not at it in the dayes of Saul.Select 1 Chronicles 13:3

4And all the Congregation saide, that they would doe so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.Select 1 Chronicles 13:4

5So Dauid gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt, euen vnto the entring of Hemath, to bring the Arke of God from Kiriath-iearim.Select 1 Chronicles 13:5

6And Dauid went vp, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-iearim, which belonged to Iudah, to bring vp thence the Arke of God the Lord, that dwelleth betweene the Cherubims, whose name is called on it.Select 1 Chronicles 13:6
