1 And Dawiḏ consulted with the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.
2 And Dawiḏ said to all the assembly of Yisra’ĕl, “If it seems good to you, and if it is of יהוה our Elohim, let us send out to our brothers everywhere who are left in all the land of Yisra’ĕl, and with them to the priests and Lĕwites who are in their cities of their open lands, and let them be gathered to us;
3 and let us bring the ark of our Elohim back to us, for we sought Him not since the days of Sha’ul.”
4 And all the assembly agreed to do so, for the matter was right in the eyes of all the people.
