And Abiathar went up until all the people finished passing on out of the city. 25 And the king said to Zadok, Take the ark of God back to the city. If I find grace in the eyes of Jehovah, then He will bring me back and make me see it and His dwelling place. 26 And if He says this, I have not delighted in you, behold, I am here. He shall do to me as seems good in His eyes. 27 And the king said to Zadok the priest, Are you a seer? Return to the city in peace, and your two sons with you, your son Ahimaaz, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar. 28 Behold, I will wait in the plain of the wilderness until word comes from you to report to me. 29 And Zadok and Abiathar took the ark of God back to Jerusalem. And they remained there. 30 And David was going up in the ascent of the olives, going up and weeping. And his head was covered, and he was going barefooted.
