21 So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirʹi·ath-jeʹa·rim,+ saying: “The Phi·lisʹtines have returned the Ark of Jehovah. Come down and take it up with you.”+

7 So the men of Kirʹi·ath-jeʹa·rim came and took the Ark of Jehovah up into the house of A·binʹa·dab+ on the hill, and they sanctified his son El·e·aʹzar to guard the Ark of Jehovah.

6 David again gathered all the best troops in Israel, 30,000 men. 2 Then David and all the men with him set out for Baʹal·e-juʹdah to bring up from there the Ark of the true God,+ before which people call on the name of Jehovah of armies,+ who sits enthroned above* the cherubs.+

3 Then David congregated all Israel at Jerusalem to bring the Ark of Jehovah up to the place that he had prepared for it.+
