Leeser(i)
1 And David consulted with the officers of the thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.
2 And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, if it seem good unto you, and if it be of the Lord our God, let us send widely about unto our brethren who are left in all the lands of Israel, and with them unto the priests and Levites who are in their cities and open districts, that they may gather themselves together unto us.
3 And let us bring round the ark of our God to us; for we have inquired not at it in the days of Saul.
4 And all the congregation said that this should be done; for the king was right in the eyes of all the people.
5 So David assembled all Israel together, from Shichor of Egypt even unto the entrance of Chemath, to bring the ark of God from Kiryath-ye’arim.
