But David had brought the ark of God up from Kiryat-Ye`arim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Yerushalayim.
They brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and shalom offerings before the LORD.
David arose, and went with all the people who were with him, from Ba`ale-Yeudah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, even the name of the LORD of Armies who sits [above] the Keruvim.
and said to them, You are the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both you and your brothers, that you may bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, to [the place] that I have prepared for it.
They brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt offerings and shalom offerings before God.
Then Shlomo assembled the elders of Yisra'el, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' [houses] of the children of Yisra'el, to Yerushalayim, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Tziyon.
The children of Yisra'el traveled, and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Giv`on, and Kefirah, and Be'erot, and Kiryat-Ye`arim.
