And they send messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath Jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought back the ark of the Lord, go down and take it home to yourselves.

And the men of Kirjath Jearim came, and brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord. And they brought it into the house of Aminadab on the hill; and they sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

And David arose and went, he and all the people that were with him, and some of the rulers of Judah, on an expedition [to a distant place], to bring back from there the ark of God, upon which is called the name of the Lord of hosts who dwells between the cherubim.

And they brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle which David pitched for it. And David offered whole burnt offerings before the Lord, [and] peace offerings.
