Returne into the citie in peace, and your two sonnes with you, Ahimaaz thy sonne, and Ionathan the sonne of Abiathar. 28See, I will tarie in the plaine of the wildernesse, vntill there come word from you to certifie me. 29Zadok therefore and Abiathar caried the Arke of God againe to Ierusalem; and they taried there.
