The Ark Sent Back; David's Submission

24

And Sadoc the priest also came, and all the Levites with him carrying the ark of the covenant of God, and they set down the ark of God: and Abiathar went up, till all the people that was come out of the city had done passing.

25

And the king said to Sadoc: Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find grace in the sight of the Lord, he will bring me again, and he will shew me it, and his tabernacle.

26

But if he shall say to me: Thou pleasest me not: I am ready, let him do that which is good before him.

27

And the king said to Sadoc the priest: O seer, return into the city in peace: and let Achimaas thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar, your two sons, be with you.

28

Behold I will lie hid in the plains of the wilderness, till there come word from you to certify me.

29

So Sadoc and Abiathar carried back the ark of God into Jerusalem: and they tarried there.

30

But David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, going up and weeping, walking barefoot, and with his head covered, and all the people that were with them, went up with their heads covered weeping.
