2 Samuel 15:26 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 15:26

24 There was ^aZadok also, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ^bark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and ^cAbiathar went up until all the people had finished crossing over from the city.

25 Then the king said to Zadok, “Carry the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the Lord, He ^awill bring me back and show me both it and ^bHis dwelling place.

26 But if He says thus: ‘I have no ^adelight in you,’ here I am, ^blet Him do to me as seems good to Him.”

27 The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a ^aseer? Return to the city in peace, and ^byour two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

28 See, ^aI will wait in the plains of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
