3 And let us bring round [the] ark of God our to us for not we sought it in [the] days of Saul.

And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, of Jehovah, who sitteth between the cherubim, whose name is placed [there].
