1 Chronicles 13:5

DavidEgyptKiriath-jearimLebo-hamathNile

3 Then let us bring back the ark of our God, for we did not inquire of Him in the days of Saul.”

4 And because this proposal seemed right to all the people, the whole assembly agreed to it.

So David assembled all Israel, from the River Shihor in Egypt to Lebo-hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.

6 David and all Israel went up to Baalah of Judah (that is, Kiriath-jearim) to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who is enthroned between the cherubim—the ark that is called by the Name.

7 So they carried the ark of God from the house of Abinadab on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding the cart.
