1 Then David (beloved) conferred with all his leaders, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds.

2 And he (beloved) said to the whole assembly of Israel (he wrestles with God), “If it seems good to you⁺, and if this is of the LORD our God {YHWH Elohenu}, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our brothers in all the land of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites in their cities and pasturelands, so that they may join us.

3 Then let us bring back the ark of our God {Elohenu}, for we did not inquire of Him (of it) in the days of Saul (desired).”

4 And because this proposal seemed right to all the people, the whole assembly agreed to it.
