Jubilee2000 - I Chronicles - 13

13:1  And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds [and] with all the princes.

13:2  And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If [it seems] good unto you and unto the LORD our God, let us send everywhere to call our brethren who have remained in all the lands of Israel and with them [also] the priests and Levites [who are] in their cities [and] suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us;

13:3  and let us bring again the ark of our God to us, for from the time of Saul we have not paid attention to it.

13:4  And all the congregation said to do so, for the thing seemed right in the eyes of all the people.

13:5  So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim.

13:12  And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God [home] to me?

13:13  So David did not bring the ark [home] to himself to the city of David but carried it into the house of Obededom, the Gittite.

13:14  And the ark of God remained with the household of Obededom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the household of Obededom and all that he had.:
