1 Chronicles 13:2-4

Common English Bible

² David said to the entire Israelite assembly: “If you approve, and if the Lord our God agrees, let’s spread the word to the rest of our relatives in all the regions of Israel, including the priests and Levites in their cities with pasturelands. Let’s ask them to join us ³ so that we may bring the chest of our God back to us, because we didn’t look for it in Saul’s days.” ⁴ The whole assembly agreed to do so, because all the people thought it was the right thing to do.
