2 Samuel 15:24-30

2 Samuel 15:24-30 TLV

Then behold, Zadok also came and all the Levites with him, carrying the ark of the covenant of God. They set down the ark of God, then Abiathar came up, until all the people had passed by, out of the city. But the king said to Zadok, “Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in ADONAI’s eyes, He will bring me back, and let me see it and His dwelling. But if He says thus, ‘I have no delight in you,’ here I am, let Him do to me as seems good in His eyes.” The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Do you not see? Return to the city in shalom with your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son and Jonathan son of Abiathar. See, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness, until word comes from you to inform me.” Therefore Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark of God back to Jerusalem, and they remained there. Then David continued to go up the ascent of the Mount of Olives, weeping as he ascended. He had his head covered and was walking barefoot. So all the people with him each covered his head as they went up, weeping as they ascended.
