22 And David said to Ittai, 'Come, and pass over.' And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all the men who were with him, and the rest of the multitude.
23 And they all wept with a great voice, and all the people passed over. The king also passed over the torrent Kidron. And all the people advanced opposite the way which looks out toward the desert.
24 Now Zadok the priest also went, and all the Levites went with him, carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God. And Abiathar went up, until all the people who had departed from the city had gone by.
25 And the king said to Zadok: 'Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I shall find grace in the sight of the Lord, he will lead me back. And he will show it to me in his tabernacle.
26 But if he will say to me, 'You are not pleasing,' I am ready. Let him do whatever is good in his own sight.'
