1 And the men of Kiryathyearim came, and fetched up the ark of the Lord, and brought it unto the house of Abinadab on the hill, and Elazar his son they sanctified to guard the ark of the Lord.

2 And it came to pass, from the time the ark remained in Kiryathyearim, and the time was long, and it was twenty years: that all the house of Israel followed anxiously after the Lord.
