25. But the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city; if I shall find grace in the eyes of the Lord, he will bring me again and show me both it and his tabernacle.
26. But if he should say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here I am, let him do to me as seems good unto him.
27. The king said also unto Zadok, the priest, Art not thou a seer? Return into the city in peace and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz, thy son, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar.
28. See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness until you send word to me.
29. Then Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem, and they remained there.
30. And David went up by the ascent of Mount Olivet and wept as he went up and had his head covered, and he went barefoot. And all the people that were with him covered each one his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
