1David consulted with all his leaders, the commanders of hundreds and of thousands.

2He then said to the whole assembly of Israel, "If it seems good to you and if it is the will of the LORD our God, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our people throughout the territories of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites who are with them in their towns and pasturelands, to come and join us.

2Then he said to the whole assembly of Israel, "If it seems good to you, and if this is from the LORD our God, let us spread out and send the message to the rest of our relatives in all the districts of Israel, including the priests and Levites in their cities with pasturelands, that they should gather together with us.

3Let us bring the ark of our God back to us, for we did not inquire of it during the reign of Saul."

3Then let us bring back the ark of our God, for we did not inquire of him in Saul's days."
