2Sa 15:24-29

Now behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar came up until all the people had finished passing from the city.

The king said to Zadok, “Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the sight of the LORD, then He will bring me back again and show me both it and His habitation.

“But if He should say thus,
‘I have no delight in you,’ behold, here I am, let Him do to me as seems good to Him.”

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

“See, I am going to wait at the fords of the wilderness
until word comes from you to inform me.”

Therefore Zadok and Abiathar returned the ark of God to Jerusalem and remained there.

Zadok and the Levites brought the Ark of the Covenant…the Ark of God…before the people as they passed out of the city.

The Ark was the very Presence of God.

David sent the Ark back.

Again…
He would not assume upon God.
He would not presume upon God.

He would await the decision of the Lord.

If the Lord did not delight in David…if He was displeased…then David was in His hand.
Let the Lord do as seems good to Him.

David would await the Word of the Lord.

May we do likewise.
